He's a UFA after this season, so we're only trading away 3 months of play from him, and even if the Habs have a leg up on resigning him, he may well retire after this season.<BR/><BR/>Add to that the fact that he's been racking up the holding/hooking penalties like Norm Maracle racks up frequent diner points at Tim Hortons. He's still got a lot of talent, works hard, and is a smart defenseman, but he doesn't have the speed to keep up anymore and it shows in the number and type of PIMs he gets.Razor Catch Preyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03295587180920939928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345962750124330515.post-89065337041438514622009-02-16T16:03:00.000-05:002009-02-16T16:03:00.000-05:00Actually, we're getting Anaheim's second rounder. ...Actually, we're getting Anaheim's second rounder.
