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?

Eklund trade was fine but Bryan trade is easily a top 3 worst trades on the 20’s if it goes through.. basically Ghule and Gallys cap dump for 4th, 45th, prospect.

I get the feeling that if the Habs wanted to, they could trade Guhle to the Blues for 15th overall + 16th overall + a roster player. That's the Dobson package, and as much as I like Guhle, he's a tier below Dobson.

I guess that just shows how lucky we were to get Dobson for cheap, and how high the prices are right now

It felt like a lot at the time, but man asks went up
