So what have not been working for the Canadiens?

Question

So the Habs are 15th, and they really fail since the beggining of the season. But I don't really understand this huge fall. Its not like if the team have changed a lot last, summer. Hamrlik left. But then Campoli, Cole and Petteri the Sniper (idk it sounded good lol) were added to the team. The inclusion of two good young defenders: Emelin and Diaz. The good progression of Pacioretty, Desharnais, Leblanc, Eller, Subban should have helped but no the Habs still suck like hell this year. 

So, I would like to have your opinions on this guys, why despite good additions and few major departures the Habs still fail that much this year?

There are many reasons why the habs aren't doing well this year. 
1. Their powerplay is 29th in the league
2. Firing coach Martin a bad idea, Cunneyworth is absolutely doing nothing with this team
3. Resigning Markov, another bad move, we could have just resigned Wisniewski for that much money. 
4. They can't win a shootout to save their lives. 3 wins, 8 losses
5. Injuries: Moen, Markov, Gionta
6. Pierre Gauthier
7. Scott Gomez

And the positives:

1.#1 Penalty Kill in the league
2. 2nd in the league for blocked shots
3. Good Goaltending (most of the time)

Just about everything.  They have poison in their locker room, too, (PK Subban) and that doesn't help.  He may be a good player but all the fighting with his own teammates is wearing thin.

PK Subban has been a locker room cancer.
