They acquired the rights for Brian Rolston of the Minnesota Wilds for a conditional draft pick 2009 or 2010. Last season, Rolston scored 31 goals and added 28 assists for a total of 59 points.Brian could become unrestricted free agent tomorrow.
Alex Tanguay with the habs
The Montreal has improved their overall forward offensive production with the acquisition of Alex Tanguay. I think Alex Tanguay will be a better fit with Montral then Clagary Flames. Montreal is a more finesse and speed team. Calagary was more of a bang and crash hockey team so i think Montreal will be a way better fit for Alex Tanguay. The guy is a 80 point a year kind of player. Montreal needed a good top line left winger and that is what they got with Alex. In the same time they just reinforced the’re third line.
