You need to read more Thriller <| sep |> ATB ' s Salt hybrid and wow i mean the product is top top top i mean holy fuck man shit blew me right out of my mind with just a little bit <| sep |> The problem with Plekanec or Emelin leaving is that any cap space opened up is offset by the need to address the hole they leave . Center and left side defence are the two most questionable areas on this team currently . So even if Plekanec is exposed and chosen that 6 in space is worthless to the Habs unless they find a better center . As for Bergevin signing guys cheap . Sure it could happen but Radulov and Galchenyuk are both gonna be quite costly so even if they take a bit of a shave that ' s still a huge commitment money wise . And in terms of Galchenyuk in particular let ' s not forget what happened the last time Montreal gave a highly skilled young player a prove it 2 w year bridge deal And Beaulieu likely signs pretty cheap , but his career hasn ' t really taken off anyways . It ' s not a terrible situation , at all . It ' s one most contenders deal with . But their center depth to me still looks questionable enough to hold them back from being cup Champs . And it ' s difficult at the moment to see how that changes . But maybe a Galchenyuk Plekanec Danault Mitchell foursome is good enough on a team that rolls 4 lines .
