Winnipeg bought a team with a lot of potential. I don't think that they will win the cup this season, but they should make the playoffs. They're stuck in the east division for this season so it should be an interesting race for first place. Watch for Winnipeg to become cup contenders during the next few seasons.

Montreal doesn't need a personnel change so much as it needs an attitude change. It's time for the Habs to concentrate on performing as hockey players and not trying to win Oscar nominations as Best Actors when it comes to trying to milk penalties out of non-penalty "infractions."
