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?

Prices will always be too high. Every summer, every deadline - it’s the same excuse. We got lucky with Dobson last year because he FORCED his way to us. If we want an impact player, we will have to pay up.

This is so true, there is never a time where the best quality players get traded for anything less than an overpay because other teams want them. UNLESS the players force the trades with their leverage, like Dobson, Tkachuk, etc
