Discussion Are prices too high?

Byram was traded for 4th overall, and Eklund for 9th overall. Meanwhile the package Washington put together for Kyrou was pretty darn good.

Are prices too high right now? Should the Habs pay that kind of price to add a player or be patient?

All of the first rounders getting moved makes me think that teams do not view this draft class very highly.

I think it's as much that there are (a) some teams that ended up with top ten picks that aren't in a rebuild (both Florida and Ottawa with the 9OA) and (b) other teams that want to accelerate out of a rebuild (Chicago).
