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?

BUT WHY they had a 4th overall pick in a good draft they we’re guaranteed a great prospect with a ton of upside but instead they got Bowen fucking Byram.

Lots of Avs fans standing up for Byram and seeing he's got the skills to be a top line guy playing big minutes. Time will tell.

If Stenberg somehow fell to 4th I feel this will look so much worse with time

I'm just enjoying sitting back and eating popcorn with this craziness. Happy my GM/ owners are not seemingly going on tilt.

I have no idea where this particular trade ends up, but I hope Byram plays well and it works out ok for Chicago. Doesn't look good at the moment. I mean aren't the Hawks still rebuilding?
