Roster looks to be set.

In Montreal, Habs GM Ben Gallant has been very busy since given the keys to the team.

The habs faithful saw former captain Saku Koivu, Trent Hunter, Pavel Kubina, Guillame Latendresse, Roman Hamrlik, Yannick Weber, Robert Lang, possible goalie phenom Carey Price, Many Legace, and Alex Tangauy leave the team.

Also leaving the team were short term stayers Chuck Kobasew and Ben Guite.

While the team added one player through free agency, Keith Aucoin, the returns from the trades included many picks, Jonas Hiller, Oli Jokinen, Ben Eager, Corey Crawford, Ian Lapperiere, Brett Sterling, Craig Rivet, Marc Andre Gragnani, Cody McCormick, Scott Hannan, Matt D'agostini and most recent additions Martin Erat and Maxim Lappierre.

Many prospects also switched the teams they would suit up for in the future including the addition of Brandon Yip, who GM Ben Gallant is very high on.

"With the additions we were able to add some youth, and some experience, some grit and some scoring ability. We did what we thought was needed and we got this team under the cap which was the main concern coming into the season." - Ben Gallant.

Has the team really improved is a question asked by many of the fans. The answer from the GM was "It's hard to improve and pay less, the better a player is the more money he makes, so we haven't destroyed ourselves in making deals to get cheaper salaries, we added players we though would help the team that are younger and have more potential or fit into a specific role on the team."

The projected line up seems to be fairly obvious for fans of the team.

The only question now is, is Hiller capable of being a starting goalie? What will Ben Gallant do about it? I'm sure he has some sort of trick up his sleave to aqquire some goalie. And with all the trading that has taken place I wouldn't be suprised if it was through that. But right now rumour has it he might go back to the free agent pool and search around there for a bit.

Ben Gallant is very high on many things.

John Lu finishing the story now after Perry and Tangauy have been shipped out a long with veteran back up Many Legace and Oversized goaltending prospect Jason Missiaen. The Habs brought in Hemsky, Latendresse, Erat, Lapierre 2 1sts, and 1 2nd, 1 3rd, and 1 4th along with prospect Nathan Gerbe.

While Benjamin Gallant is high on very many things he is currently low on cheap shot jokes by Rival GM's.
