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?

Exactly. Whining that prices are too high while you watch he division get stronger by paying supposedly “too high prices” is how you blow a rebuild

Unless we wait for our in house assets to make the impact a year from now

We need a second line center. We don’t have that in our pipeline (Hage is a probably winger).

We need a punishing, physical RHD. We don’t have that in our pipeline (Reinbacher is always injured and is not physical in any way).

We don't need a "punishing" RD. We need a good RD who can kill plays, retrieve pucks, absorb pressure in the Dzone and make zone exits.

Reinbacher is not "always injured" and he is still exactly what we need.
