Habs injuries are killing me. Specially Markov who's such an important part of the PP and all around pretty reliable. He's practically not on the team anymore with all the games he's been out for... Price is playing well and the rest of the team has picked up some serious slack but nobody in the league has enough depth to get far into the playoffs with that many men out.
Kaberle trade is a win/win, that guy's time in Toronto has been done for awhile especially if you truly want to rebuild.
I've watched Spezza since the start (used to live in Ottawa) and trust me you do NOT want him on Toronto. #1 salary cap killer, #2 injuries galore, #3 horrible backchecking and defensive skills + turnovers. I have no doubt him + Kessel would be a great pass+feed combo and you'd get tons of highlight plays out of the two. But man they both have shat defensive skills and sloppy turnovers it would be a coach's nightmare to have them on the same line. |
If we don't have Price, this team is easily in 10th or 11th place in the conference. We have no offense, a defense hanging by a thread...Carey has made the difference this year.
Injuries happen...when (if) this team is healthy they are pretty good. Still not cup contender good, but like last year a good wild card/ dark horse.
We have some nice cap room next ear too. Be patient.
