Here are the defensemen available to fill the hole on the right for the Habs

Everyone agrees that Montreal Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes will have to find another defenceman to fill the hole on the right side following the departure of Jeff Petry.

Will it happen via the trade market or free agent market? If the Habs ever want to sign a right-handed defenceman, the list is getting shorter by the day.

Or, here are the current names:

1 - P.K. Subban
2 - Anton Stralman
3 - Kris Russell
4 - Keith Yandle
5 - Ryan Murray
6 - Calvin de Haan
7 - Chase Priskie
8 - Nathan Beaulieu

*Please note that the left-handed defencemen on this list have all previously played on the right.

Which would you choose?

This is obviously a case to watch.
