If they don't trade those picks to get Andrew Shaw #2.

Well statistically your chances of finding an impact player decreases drastically after the first round.

But I agree that the habs don't have enough punch on offense to be contenders and should keep their picks at this point and play the odds.

the odds of not making it past the 2nd round are very good.

Shaw has provided some offense here and there.

You can talk about prospects all day long, but the core of this team is not getting any younger.

There's just no way he was worth two 2nd rounders, Hawks weren't in a strong position at all since they knew they wouldn't sign him. To me it looked like MB felt bad for fleecing Bowman on the Danault deal.

No but I still think they could've given less for Shaw, doesn't matter what they got for Eller.

The Eller trade was a very good one for the Habs.

If Eller still suck, why not?

Shaw is producing at about a 40-point clip and providing a bit of edge and nastiness. i think he's been a good addition and he's been very solid since Julien came to town.

The Eller trade was a very good one for the Habs.
