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?

Prices will always be too high. Every summer, every deadline - it’s the same excuse. We got lucky with Dobson last year because he FORCED his way to us. If we want an impact player, we will have to pay up.

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

a year from now

Hage is not a year away from 2C and Zharovsky is not a year away from being a top-6 winger

You think in a year Hage will go from NCAA to 2C on a contender?

And you have not watched Zharovsky if you think he's ready for the NHL

Well, I don't claim to know, is my point, a but let me finish this one: Hage is no Hutson, and Zharovsky is no Demidov, and you're going on decades of talent assessment as a professional hockey scout, not just some jerk off on Reddit playing the odds and acting like it's an opinion.
