Semin is heavily under-rated for the "lazy Russian" stereotype. He's a good player.
Halpern did great work last year for Montreal in a defensive role as well. He would have been much better than Engqvist/Nokialainen in the 4th center role.

I thought Halpern was underrated for us and I'm not sure why we didn't bring him back, especially considering they had no plan B. He broke down at the end but was a very good defensive forward and his loss is one of the many things that screwed over Plekanec IMO.
