No one used to push around the Habs. No one.
The Gauthier/Martin experiment just continued that tradition -- now is the time to return to pride and for Habs to start stick up for themselves -- and for each other.
There's room on the roster -- we missed out on Konopka last year, let's not make the same mistake again this year. He hits, won't back down, and he can win faceoffs [if only he would learn not to take so many penalties].
Alternatives?

I gotta think that Mr. Konopka will have a lot of suitors, is he an UFA? If so I'd love the habs to get him, but would be ok with Staubitz and White taking care of business.

Do we have any prospects or players in Hamilton that can come up and fill that role, what about this Schultz kid? www.hockeysfuture.com/prospects/ian_schultz/Looks like a borderline at best NHL player. I like Zenon also because not only does he fight and play tough but like you said Franko he wins faceoffs. As a team the Habs were horrible, only one player above 50% that took regular faceoffs, Nokalainen and he's gone to UFA I think. That is something that they really need to improve on, I was disappointed with Pleky's faceoffs last season, he's too smart to go 49%. He did get kicked out a lot trying to cheat, which tells me that the only way he feels he can win is to get a jump on his opponent. 15 days til the draft!

I'm guessing your fav player was Carbo back in the day Chris?
