The Habs need a new captain. Brian Gionta signs with the Buffalo Sabres.

I could see all six Canadian teams missing the playoffs next year, with maybe 4 of them racing to the bottom.

I assume by six Canadian teams you're either not counting Montreal as being Canadian or not counting the Leafs as being a team.

I think Montreal is the only one with a real chance.

Kind of an odd signing.

@CTB: I think MTL and VAN have a shot.

Vancouver will need to add a handful of solid forwards first. They won't stand a chance with their current group, especially in the West.

Depends on if Miller is truly done.  But you've got a point.
