10:05 AM ET 06.16 | The Canadiens have announced the signing of Russian defenseman Pavel Valentenko, but fans can expect a more significant signing out of Russia in the near future. The Canadiens are very close to signing Russian national-team defenseman Alexei Yemelin and he could be in a Habs' uniform next fall.

The future is looking very bright for the Habs. Gainey has been very busy this offseason. Hopefully he can unload Kovalev for something descent. I can't beleive he got someone to take Samsanov! Gainey's got his mojo back.

Gainey got rid of Samsanov but is stuck with cinder-block footed Cullimore,and underachieving Salmelainen.
