Last year Montreal finished 28th spot and were the same heartless mess that the Flames current are:

The LOSERs on that team that are currently challenging for the president's Cup are:

Alexei Emelin, D
Andrei Markov, D
Brian Gionta, RW
David Desharnais, C
Gabriel Dumont, C
Josh Gorges, D
Lars Eller, C
Max Pacioretty, LW
P.K. Subban, D
Raphael Diaz, D
Rene Bourque, LW
Ryan White, C
Tomas Kaberle, D
Tomas Plekanec, C
Travis Moen, LW
Yannick Weber, D
Carey Price
Peter Budaj

The Montreal blow up was to get Cammalleri, Gomez, and Cole out of town

add Prust, Armstrong and a couple of rookies Gallagher and Galchenyuk

They signed their franchise player, Subban, to a 2.8M / year deal that he held out for..... For crying out loud..... ROR is making making almost twice that because of the Flames to play on the only team that is almost as bad as the Flames.

Don't tell me that the Canadiens were that much better off this time last year than the Flames are this year.

Last year Price was 20th in save percentage.

I wonder what would have happened if Hartley had gotten the Canadiens job and went all Swiss , (small skilled) on their strategy.

Not all teams go Edmonton and take 5 years of getting pushed around.

The Flames have the skilled guys...too many.. It should not be that hard to get some guys like Prust, Kostopolus, Armstrong, Regehr, Hannan to replace some of the "talent"

Montreals biggest move was to buy out Gomez.

The Flames have already made that move by getting rid of Bouwmeester.

Now they have to get rid of a couple of the the weaker skilled guys....Tanguay, Cammalleri come to mind to make room for Bouma and the UFA.(Clarkson)

Montreal saw that Cammalleri was actually part of their problem and that Bourque was an upgrade as far as TEAM went.

PS. The Flames already have Baertschi and the #1 pick for next year.
