Having a heavyweight around has never seemed to work for us...don't think we will have one as the season starts, but who knows as the season goes on?

We all saw how bad was Parros last year.Could a player like Nevins or Crisp do better than Parros?It is not the best for their development but do you think that they can be better than Parros?And if so,could one of them be the Habs goon?
I don't think that this will happen because none have experience fight with men....But Wilson did it 2 years ago with Washington.
In 93 we had Todd Ewen , Lyle Odelein, Mario Roberge as heavyweights. If you got through that, you could talk to Muller, Keane, Haller and Skrudland about your issues. That team was tough as nuts, and Johnny LeClair never started to flex any muscle yet.
Cause we alwaysed aimed for the best of the rest instead of trading an asset to get a younger player that A) still likes fighting and B) doesn't look stupid when he's playing hockey. Imagine having a 23 year old Jared Boll or Tom Sestito instead instead of the washed-up heavyweight for a moment?

Kriss E - Boston (the cup winning Boston) was built the same way. You wanna start s***, you had to deal with 8-9 guys ready to takeyour head off.
Now granted, that's a team philosophy, and one we (Montreal) doesn't share.
But to suggest it's a useless relic from another era, is simply false.
As you said, that has nothing to do with getting 1 enforcer that can't play hockey.

So what? I don't remember when the rules changed from then to now. Lucic's famous "I'm gonna kill you next season" is blatant proof that intimidation still exists..

I wouldn't go that far.No, habs were able to get under his skin and throw him off his game.
He tried to intimidate the habs at the time it mattered most, and it didn't work.
Blatant proof it doesn't work.
1000 posts wondering if it's a good idea to save a spot for a Laraque/Parros type.
Watching just a single game with one of these two in the lineup should've been enough to answer that question.
Have more Prust/Tinordi type players if want, just keep the Sylvain Blouin's of this world the hell away from my team.
He'd really be the perfect IMO. Pushing one of Prust or Weise to 3rd line adds sandpaper to our line-up.
Bournival-Eller-Weise
Sestito-Malhotra-Prust
That would be an AWESOME bottom 2 line team.
