Habs sign Hemsky to a 1 year deal. Gotta wonder if there isn't some
credence to the Anisimov rumour now.

He's not bad at bargain binning, that's for sure. $1M to Hemsky is an entirely fine dive into the dumpster. Hemsky was hurt last year, but he's a bit younger and probably a bit better at this point than the famous ancient guys like Jagr, Doan, Iginla.

I don't mind the Hemsky signing as a bandaid on the gaping wound of failure to re-sign Radulov.

Although it would be nice if one day they just showed faith in their young players. Hudon might be even better than Hemsky at this point. But we'll probably never know, and he'll probably end up lost on waivers or something.

They might want to check out Vegas' asking price on James Neal as well. They've been selling off those D surprisingly cheap. If there was any chance that Neal could get into that category too, Habs should be in on it.

Or maybe go back to the Kovalchuk angle.

Or maybe this is all just a waste of time at this point. :)
