• HW Poll
• Rate the Carey Price contract (2 years, $2.5 mil in '10/11, $3 mil in '11/12):

  	Fair value
  	Too much
  	He signed for cheaper than I expected

• Did you know?
• The Habs may not have the highest payroll in the league, but they are leading all teams in the number of $5 million or higher-paid players in the NHL. No fewer than 6 players (Gomez, Cammalleri, Markov, Hamrlik, Gionta, and Plekanec) make at least $5M. The Rangers are second with 5 players in that category.

Weaknesses:	Does not hold an offensive presence, isn't the best skater, and receives very limited ice-time.
Projected Role:	Will need to work very hard on his overall skill in order to make it in the AHL. Likely a career enforcer at the minor levels as the role of enforcer is slowly being eliminated at the NHL level.
