I think he is actually fairly decent defensively - wasn't he a mainstay on the PK here for a few years, and was a SHG threat?
I still think he is a good player who unfortunately can't play effectively any longer due to constant injuries. I wouldn't be surprised if he still has some concussion symptoms (though I should hope he doesn't, and that the league does a good job of diagnosing it). I agree with the cap-implications - would be very surprised if Edmonton picks him up.
The only teams that can take a chance on him are teams that:
1) Need some size in their lineup
2) Have long-term injuries
3) Have lots of salary cap room next season
I think he clears. Only way he moves is if Montreal retains salary and/or gives enough of a sweetener.
