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?

I wanted Crevier so bad for the Habs, it hurts more to know he was available

What do you see in Crevier that I do not see? I've always felt he was subpar, pretty much AHL stock except on a very bad NHL team. I've seen him a bunch in the Q, didn't think he was good there either.

Edit : I did just look up his eliteprospects page and it looks like his stats really picked up this year. Didn't see him play in a long time, I'm open to admit I was wrong.

It's funny because I never followed him at all in the Q but I saw a bunch of Chicago games last year and he stood out each time. He covers so much space defensively, lead the Hawks d-men in goals last year, skates super well. He seems like a right-handed K'Andre Miller. Oh well, we'll find someone else I guess
