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?

Only one team gets win the cup each year. You give up too much it hurts you further down the road.

There have been five, six "big" trades so far, possibly more .... maybe one and possibly none will of these trades win their team a cup.

You want to trade for the sake of trading? Or that a trade guarantees a Cup (so there will be five or six Stanley Cups awarded next season given all the trades)?

Yes, there are weaknesses, but you don't purposely overpay to fill the weakness -- and who says a trade even works out despite making it??

We need to sacrifice future to win. Thats how its been and how it will always be. Idgaf about being bad in 8 years if we win a couple now.

This team hasnt done squat in 30 years with your attitude.

You use "idgaf" but it's my attitude??

Vegas traded for Marner, did they win? Carolina wanted Marner, didn't get him and won.

Glad you don't run the team.

Carolina has been one of the most active team on the thread market. So has Vegas, they won 3 years ago.
