Yup 1 year vets builds a culture.
They buy time , better than a culture of 3 fingers Gally and his decline for the next 5 fuken years
Your getting vets in trades as well

I’d never hire someone with your philosophy as my GM. Too many differing issues. I disagree.
It can’t be forgotten - it’s the reality of the Habs business landscape… it’s not some kind of fantasy league team buildingWe can agree/disagree all we want
The 10 year Nero fiasco ended in tears with a roster and cap in shambles , and the 18 wheeler fell off the cliff 2 yeas ago
The retool six years not go all in on Weber would not of put us in this shit mess team is now
I give you full control Habsy of hockey operations
Forget the background BS , politics , and any other crap related to revenue
Fix this this mess , give me your plan ??? How do you get back to being a top 10 team in the league .
Remember every team in the division is either better , further ahead in their rebuilds or have better prospects or cap space
I want your plan to get this team back in the top 10 ?????It can’t be forgotten - it’s the reality of the Habs business landscape… it’s not some kind of fantasy league team building
Pack up the team and move it to Houston - they’ll be a Cup contender within 2-summersI want your plan to get this team back in the top 10 ?????
I specifically mentioned forget the BS ......you’re in charge full autonomy
WTF do you do ? Give me your blue print
Another thing: If you're a good drafting team, you can aggressively trade prospects away for players in their prime. That's what they did for Stone, Pacioretty & Eichel.
Who's better, Brannstrom Suzuki & Krebs, or Stone Pacioretty & Eichel?
In that year when we got to the Eastern Finals & lost because of Price's injury, maybe we would have been able to overcome it if we had traded our 1st or one of our top prospects for a rental or even a player with term left.
But alas...

Ryan Johanssen was a hold out in 2012, had MB traded that 3OA pick in a package would he have had that 1C?Another thing: If you're a good drafting team, you can aggressively trade prospects away for players in their prime. That's what they did for Stone, Pacioretty & Eichel.

Who knows. Johanssen's never been the same since he had that serious thigh injury in the playoffs. Maybe in an alternative universe, he gets traded here and doesn't get the thigh injury. Maybe he regresses naturally, we'll never know.Ryan Johanssen was a hold out in 2012, had MB traded that 3OA pick in a package would he have had that 1C?
The other thing - need to have a better hit rate than 1-good 1st round selection every 10-15 years..
Point being CBJ had the 2OA pick, were clearly rebuilding which the 3OA would’ve added to & Johanssen would’ve been a strategic addition to the young core (Price, Subban, Paccioretty) at that time (2012).Who knows.

I don’t. He’s not the gm.I want your plan to get this team back in the top 10 ?????

So basically what you're saying is that if the team was in Houston there would be actual pressure on them to win because their profits would be tied to winning in a way that they aren't in Montreal. In other words, the Habs don't win because they don't really try to win, which has been my contention for years.Pack up the team and move it to Houston - they’ll be a Cup contender within 2-summers

The only "reality of the business landscape" in Montreal that we need to know about is that the Habs are a license to print money. There is no good reason why they refuse to rebuild other than their myopic ownership valuing short term profits over long term glory. With their economic clout the Habs could literally do anything they set their minds to. They just have to decide to want to. A rebuild? "Oh the fans will never accept a rebuild" Boulchit. The fans have shown time and time again that they will accept whatever they're told to accept and will pay top dollar prices to do it. The only ones preventing a proper rebuild from happening is the greedy ownership group, not the fans.
Oh I'm totally with you there. Now is the time to trade him. Sell high.Thats fine , let him get the Goodrow contract elsewhere and give us the first rounder or good prospect now
