I'd prefer not to sign Hamrlik only because I feel like there are some really good d-men on the market that I would like us to explore that are a little younger and can benefit us for a longer period of time(though they probably will be overpaid), but I won't be pissed if hamrlik re-signs. I'd pretty much be indifferent.
What makes you beleive that the Habs can sign any of them ? There is 29 other teams they can sign for.

better keep what you know and someone who really wants to play in Montreal than chasing some illusions.
