Now on this point I will agree - they may be heading more into "Leafs territory" now. (As has long been rumoured about the Leafs where management doesn't care about success on the ice given that the money keeps coming in. If they wanted to, the Habs could likely pull something like this off for a good number of years. Especially if the Nordiques don't come back right away.)
I am not 100% sure but some of the signs might be there.
