Although moving one of the top players is always hard the Habs felt the upgrade on the point was worth it here. We have been struggling with shots against all season and even though goaltending has been stealing games for us that can't last forever. Wideman is a player that should make the Habs defense one of the tops in the league. Giving up the 6.5mil that Salei will make next doesn't hurt either. I have continued my trend of trading forwards for defense but I am hoping that the current 6 will stay for the rest of the year.
Bourque and Hudler should fit in very nicely with my group and I will try out a few different line options with them added to my mix.
