We've been harping on Montreal's lack of quality wingers all summer, especially that the roster makeup may even prevent a player like Alex Galchenyuk from finally playing down the middle. Now that Alex Semin has joined the fold, things are looking a lot healthier on the wings, and Galchenyuk's move to centre seems feasible.
As per usual there are always risks in signing a player like Semin. According to some he may not be the best player in the locker room, however I have never spent any time with him, so I can't comment on it.
