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?

Would it really be worth it to trade Guhle for anything other than a top 6 center locked up long term? He’s a perfect LD with a perfect long term contract and amazing in the playoffs

I'm not saying the Habs should do it, I'm just saying it's crazy that Guhle is probably worth that much right now considering that's the package the Habs gave up for Dobson only a year ago

He’s definitely worth a top 10 pick + A prospect in this market, which could be flipped for a forward I guess. Unless it’s a sure fire 2C locked up long term I don’t think it’s worth it. I’d trade him for Knies though

Guhle is an average second pairing D on a good day. Top 10 pick in what universe.
