Rivet was not great last year with the habs but we will really miss his leadership. They still have D with a heavy shot. Hamrlik has a very underrated shot and given the pp time Komisarek has a hard shot as well. I think Hamrlik and Brisebois will combine to pick up some slack. Their PP won't be as good but i think they will still have a good one. In his rookie year Higgins caught fire for the last 1/3 of the season and last year he followed it up at the first of the season until he got hurt. I don't think Higgins being Mr October is an issue. They can be a surprise team if the young players step up.
