Hemsky was Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin's knee-jerk response to losing Alexander Radulov, who bolted Montreal for more money and a better team in Dallas. The 34-year-old Hemsky was given regular minutes on the third line and even received power-play time most would say he didn't deserve (2:35 per game) but lasted just seven pointless games, before suffering a season-ending concussion. Hemsky dealt with post-concussion symptoms and openly admitted to La Presse in March that he's considering retirement. As an unrestricted free agent who's played just 22 games over the past two seasons, he's of little interest. Throw in his thoughts of retirement and steer very clear of the once-upon-a-time skilled forward.
