Description

Regardless of who's the new GM (my money is on Darche or Madden), don't rebuild.

On offense, Habs need a top 6 C to replace Danault. On the wings they are awesome. Don't touch it. Everyone hoped Dvorak would replace Danault, but he's not. He replaced KK (as in both are inconsistent at either end of the ice, although Dvorak is solid on faceoffs).

If Horvat really is on the market. Give whatever it takes imo to get him with the exceptions of Suzuki, Caufield, and the Habs 2022 1st rd pick. Horvat wouldn't just be Danault's replacement, but an improvement. Not to mention seeing him and Toffoli playing together would be awesome.

Still sell at the deadline (Chiarot, Kulak, etc.), and look to improve the defense in the offseason.

Hopefully once Edmundson returns he can knock Petry on his noggin and wake him from from the coma he's been in since the start of the season...

I know you said plus a draft pick but that's really not an attractive offer for Horvat.

Could be a 1st in 2023 (lottery protected), would be willing to replace Poehling with Evans.

There's a reason I put Harris first on the Habs side of the deal. He's probably the Habs most valuable prospect not in the pros at the moment.

Canucks decline. Not shopping Horvat and that deal is very unappealing. Many other teams could do better

A first that's not even in 2022 and a bunch of junk doesn't even come close

Horvat gets a first, an A prospect and probably a decent roster player, maybe more given the high interest in him. The Habs can't/won't make a deal like that. This one isn't even close to that....
