For $1.1mil. 1-year deals usually bring out the best in Semin, this should work out pretty good for the Habs. They've been desperately searching for some scoring, especially on the right side.

With that said, a Therrien-Semin partnership has the potential to be a complete trainwreck. Even if Semin does produce points.

Seems like a pretty good deal for the Habs. At worst there's very little risk if things don't work out.

Yep.  Low-risk signing.  Hard to argue that this is a bad gamble.

A motivated Semin could be a great pickup for Montreal. Obviously, the question is whether such a thing actually exists. He's not the elite offensive forward he was once thought of as, but more of a 20-25 goal, ~50 point type, but, even still, for $1.1M, that's pretty good value.

not much of a risk at that price, even if he gets 15 goals it's not bad..wish we would have done that
