As we find ourselves in the dog days of summer, arguably the slowest month of the offseason, there seems to be many questions concerning the Habs right now then answers

On Monday, the Habs continued to add free agents to the fold, this time adding to their prospect base by signing Swedish centre Andreas Engqvist to a 3 year entry level deal.
Just when you thought the Habs were done, GM Bob Gainey struck again, this time with the signing of free agent LW Travis Moen to a 3 year contract.
