What sucks about this is that he won't be able to train properly, he will miss training camp and beginning of season.
Frustrating for sure. As long as he comes back without any lingering effects, we'll all be happy.

No way Streit comes back to Montreal!! Even for $100 mio! He's not crazy

Beaulieu will probably be on the team next year too.As long as we get him back before Christmas I'll be happy.
In the meantime Tinordi likely gets his minutes.
Markov-Subban
Boullion-Diaz
Tinordi-Gorges
Markov probably makes the most sense to deal now. Diaz replaces Markov and Markov is dealt to a team like the Rangers who desperately need PP help. That works.Seems like a log jam of A1 puck movers to me.
I'm wondering if Bergevin might consider moving Markov instead of a guy like Diaz. He's a proven commodity around the league and he had a great bounce back year, he might fetch us a really good young player that'll fit more into our future vision.
Diaz was bad after his return from concussion but he was probably our second best D-man behind Subban up until his injury. It's hard to take such a small sample serious though. I'd only advocate shipping Markov if we were getting a real solid promising young player in return.
While it's good to have a plan/blueprint. You can't have a plan that is that rigid simply because the personnel to fill those holes may or may not be available, or may come at a huge cost.
Teams have a different mix and still win the cup...Boston had a blueline that was big on size and weak in puck movers, LA and Chicago had highly skilled bluelines built around smaller, more skilled puck movers.
I realize that there is a difference between making a target, and living it in the real word of personal movement.
What I am saying is that you have to have a target and work towards it. Otherwise you are just patching holes and being content with improvisation. That's how you start down the easy road to mediocrity.
Would Robyn Regehr be a good signing to offset what we will be missing from Emelin? Also he could be a good leader/mentor.
thoughts?
