There are no ties anymore.
Anyways, Perrault is with Nashville so, there's a strong second line centre and an excellent face-off man done there.
Montreal is planning on something big, trying to get the NHL All-star game in 2009, the NHL Draft, World Juniors in 2009, celebrating 100 years of club existance.
Also there are three more retired numbers going up, and I can see it all being from the 70's (Dryden, Robinson and Serge Savard IMO)
