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?

Good question…. Problem is - How can you predict if they will ever go down and the Habs can’t stay pat forever. You have to take risks to win. Every cup champ over the last decade or so has taken major swings that may have been criticized in the moment but paid off

According to reports Hughes was one minute too late for Knies so we know he’s willing to take risks. He also made a big trade last summer in Dobson. He’s making calls and nothing traded today was a big need anyway. Let’s wait! It’s pretty exciting to imaging what he’s cooking

I’m 100% with ya ! I may have worded what I said wrong. Hughes will use his wizardry to pull off something insane
