If the Habs' owner(s) is/are being cheap, then...
(ticket prices are ludicrous but still...Hab fans still pay).
If the Habs are being smart, then...
(meaning...waiting patiently to see how everything turns out...Weber, Spacek, Markov's health, Yemelin, and spending as the season goes along, especially before March trade deadline).
Still...as long as there are dirty cheaters and criminals on ice out there (Bruins) our Habs have got to protect themselves or the NHL (ex: Shanahan) better start doing a bbetter job at protecting players from head checks, hits from behind, bullyfights (when team can't win), and violent slashes.
13th forward?
Blunden?
Palushaj?
