DEFENSE
Who will be there in 6 years? Andrei Markov, Mathieu Carle, Ryan O'Byrne, David Fischer.
Out:
Mikhail Grabovski - He's small and really exciting but has had trouble in the AHL and doesn't seem to be strong enough for the NHL. Goes back to Europe in a year or two.
Saku Koivu - Too much injuries, he decides to retire in 3 or 4 years. Habs fan are wondering if his jersey will be retired or not.
Michael Ryder - Just a random one-dimentional scorer, who knows where he will be in 6 years.
Tomas Plekanec - Very solid player, but let's just say he leaves as a free agent in 4 or 5 years.
Duncan Milroy/Ben Maxwell/Mathieu Aubin - Not enough space.
Alexei Emelin & Pavel Valentenko - Both het short cup of coffees of the NHL and go back to Russia.
Mike Komisarek - After a lot of good years with the Habs in decides to leave as a UFA for more money, Adam Foote-like.
Josh Gorges/Jon Gleed - Who cares.
Jaroslav Halak - Will be used as a trading chip when Price is ready.
