no idea what they want/need. but they sure look like a team ready to rebuild.
my bet is a bad contract, a prospect and a pick.

Should the Habs be sacrificing picks and prospects right now? I for one think they should be adding as many as possible...

1st and a good prospect or a «good» young player?

Me think a 1st and Lehkonen. Something like that.
- deadpoulet

yep.
I would still prefer Provorov from Philly but that will not happen

Any scenario that involves the first for a player over 24 is a no for me

I would be ok with a young defenseman coming back, but not Keith. Like you said, Tampa, Toronto, Buffalo, those teams will own the division for a while.

right, we wouldn't want to miss out on the next Scherbak
but I agree, keep the picks, unless you're 100% sure to make the playoffs, like TB or TOR

Scherback was draft at 26 I think.

They still could have a pretty nice pick this season.

I fully expect them to draft top 10, top 5 if we're lucky

Yup... he would be more along the lines of what they should be looking for.... but hes already established and would be near impossible to pry away!!

Andrew Peeke, a Columbus 2nd rounder, would be a great add... Vince Dunn in St.Louis would be fantastic, Valimaki in Calgary, could take a shot on Honka in Dallas, wonder if Jersey would consider trading Ty Smith at all?

Absolutely... a LD between 19-23 should be their #1 priority.... and they have pieces to make it happen

the problem here is that if you don't want to trade away picks and prospects, you really don't have any assets to make a serious offer for a dman.
so we'll wait, draft and cross our fingers

I'd trade picks and prospects for the guys I mentioned and they do have pieces to trade off the roster to make it happen... Tatar, Petry, Lehkonen, Byron, Danault

ah ok, my bad. thought you said they should be adding as many as possible.
because you don't get a promissing young d for tatar, hope you know that

nah, we're basically saying the same thing. just takling before puck drop

You don't think Tatar has value? Tatar was just involved in 2 blockbuster deals where the returns were pretty good, Vegas is already retaining part of his salary, Habs could keep a chunk as well, a team would get a top 6 winger for this year + 2 more for about 3.5 million, that's value! Add a 2nd rounder and a guy like Cale Fleury and you got a decent package

they have to target a team in the playoffs race, with a surplus of young LD,
the obvious one I see is CAR

I am the best.

I'd get a boner
