Brandon Prust was signed to a four-year deal in the offseason to essentially make the Canadiens a tougher fight on any given night. He offers some skill from the fourth line and has experience on the penalty kill, but his calling card is that of an enforcer, a role he filled with aplomb during his tenure with the Rangers. Prust's bigggest contribution for fantasy teams will be his penalty minutes (156 PIMs in 2011-12), but his presence on the roster will change more than just the culture on this team, but it will also alter the perceptions of opponents playing the Canadiens.
