Habs UFA Signing Predictions
Posted 10:01 AM ET | Comments 0
Who will the habs sign come July 1st in the UFA market? Will it be Daniel Briere? Or Chris Drury? Possibly somebody like Nylander? I think everyone here in Montreal would probably like Briere the most of the three, personally I'd like to see Chris Drury as a hab. He played incredible during the playoffs. I saw one clip where he blocked 3 shots in a row, two of which would have gone in had he not blocked them.
The habs have plenty of salary space, and with that in mind, it's unlikely they won't at least sign a play of the same calibre as Danus Zubrus. Who I definitely think they are going to take a good look at. Another possible signing which many might not predict, but I think Radek Bonk might get signed by the habs, imo it would be stupid not to sign him, but those aren't the sentiments of most people I've spoken with. Remember these are only predictions. But I think the habs are definitely also going to look for scoring depth on the LW.
This quite possibly may be the best chance for the habs to lock a mint UFA for 5 years, that I've seen in a long time, since I've even been watching hockey. As many of you know, the habs haven't had a fifty goal scorer in many years and now is their chance to aquire one. Will it be Briere? I predict no. Will it be Drury? I predict Buffalo signs him. Will it be Nylander? Believe it or not, I think he would fit our team perfectly and I'll leave my prediction at Nylander.
