The recent signing of Douglas Murray has garnered some mixed reaction from the Habs’ fanbase.
The Habs appear to have added some toughness to their blueline on Thursday as the club announced that they have agreed in principle on a one year, one-way deal with defenceman Douglas Murray.
Strengths: A punishing hitter who is also willing to drop the gloves when necessary. He is also a quality shot blocker.
Players entering the final year of their entry level contracts without yet having played in the NHL always have something to prove but Joonas Nattinen may take that mindset to a new level.
It took a full month longer than anyone anticipated but the Habs on Monday wrapped up the last of their restricted free agents, inking goalie Dustin Tokarski to a one year, two-way contract.
After a disastrous debut in 2011-12 upon being acquired from Calgary, Rene Bourque’s first ‘full’ season with the Habs was a step in the right direction.
The 2013 Lake Placid tournament, a tune-up for the World Juniors in December, was held from August 4-10.
Strengths: A punishing physical player who is particularly strong in front of the net. His skating is also a plus for his size.
Strengths: He is very mature for his age and is responsible in all three zones. He also isn’t hesitant to mix it up physically.
