I wasn’t old enough to remember watching Scotty coaching Habs, but I’ve never heard such analytical language come out of a Habs coaches mouth in my lifetime “non-negotiables”, “concept vs system” …

I will get banned again soon, worry not.

Each of which they would have lost by at least 4 goals under Dum Dum. And, much more importantly, he has ended our worry that Cole Caufield was going to be “ruined” forever, not that it was an entirely rational worry.

When Gord Nixon (Bell Chairman) picks up the phone and rips Molson a new a*shole as to why he’s paying $65M+ a year on TV rights for a full rebuild, the consortium collectively assumes the fetal position begging for forgiveness

Like, the notion of building through free agency sounds nice & all, but if you take a second to look at our situation...
We have the highest total salary in players on a single roster all throughout the NHL, and barring a trade, as it stands our two highest salaried players who are going to be off the books next season are Chiarot ($3.5M) and Lehkonen ($2.3M). Both of which are going to be traded within the next month.
All of our big salary players are here for a while unless we can trade them. Price is unmovable, Weber's on LTIR, Gallagher is going to be difficult, Petry is likely gone but won't be easy, I heard Drouin's going on LTIR soon because his feelings are too hurt to play right now, and Hoffman/Armia are... Hoffman/Armia.
Realistically, we don't have all that much money to spend under the cap. And if you're looking at the list of UFAs, who's really the one guy you'd want to sign?
Malkin? You want to give $9M for 3-4 years for a soon-to-be 36 year old Malkin? $8M for Claude Giroux? $8M for Forsberg, even though we don't really need another high priced winger? Johnny Gaudreau, Kris Letang, Tomas Hertl? Hampus Lindholm, Nazem Kadri? Vincent Trochek? Justin Schultz?
Outside of Lindholm, I wouldn't give a long term contract to any of those players.

Of course the Habs will look at free agents, doesn't mean they'll go stupid.
Brace yourself Sal , another wasted decade of junk
Cant turn chicken shit into chicken salad
UFA splash on what ......another albatross deal
These guys are on high grade shrooms if they think this a one and done retool
Every team in the division has passed us and in much better shape moving forward
You cant fix this mess on a video game Sal
