	Habs 6th in Bang-4-the-Buck Rating Posted By: Rick Moffat rmoffat@cjad.astral.com · 3/13/2013 7:25:00 PM GM Marc Bergevin may have won plenty of admirers for his worst-to-first turnaround of the Habs, but he still is not even Top 5 in the NHL for Salary Cap Bang for the Buck. The Canadiens rank 6th overall in a CJAD analysis of "Bang4theBuck" ratings NHL clubs in points/$1-million in spending against this season's cap-hit. The Canadiens rate .588, trailing only Pittsburgh and Ottawa among Eastern teams (.640 and .595 respectively). The most "fiscally efficient" teams are Anaheim (a forensic accounting Cup winner at .775), Chicago (.708 under Stan Bowman) and the unlikely Phoenix Coyotes (the orphans of the NHL are .651 under Don Maloney.) The NHL financial basket cases and GMs who given drunken sailors a good name? Calgary a league-worst .323, Washington .332 (Brian Burke's landing as GM?), Buffalo .350 (clock's ticking Mr. Regier). The state of Florida should apply for Obama Disaster Relief: Panthers .369, Lightning .362. Other notables: Detroit's reputed Ken Holland has the Wings at just .491, worse than the Leafs .510 (yet the axe fell on Burke). The Islanders, often the league's laughing stock over deals like DiPietro and Thomas, are a reasonable .533 (in a case of you get what you pay for---the Isles are 29th in payroll but escaped the basement).

Umaga posted on 03/14/2013 08:02 AM Useless stats . Based on 25 games of contracts that in some cases last 5 or 6 years . I guess if " Les Glorieux " don't have players that show up in the Top 10 of any legitimate categories the faithful will make up their own . Oh wow !! Look at that Lars has the most game winners of any AHL forward traded for a top 10 goalie !!!! reply· like· report Loading Rick posted on 03/14/2013 08:23 AM Dear Hopeless Loser, most Habs fans would rate him #1 for the worst-to-first miracle. This stat puts him 6th, so hardly fabricating to blow smoke for the CH. It is, like any other stat, a snapshot of a moment in time. A time that sees the Habs in 1st and yet leaving their fans feeling like they're still capable of more and still growing. You must hate that. See you at the 25th Parade. reply· like· report Loading showing all comments Comment Like Please fill in the CAPTCHA below to like this content anonymously. x Submit x Reset Password Simply confirm your registered email address below and click "Reset Password."
