Quoting: Subbanator7667
Ya let's add two contracts that are likely to anchor the team and handcuff them in the future, all to still be a mediocre team that isn't a contender
We'll there's your opinion, and then there's the opinions of more knowledgeable people like Max Lapierre who says the Habs just need to add a couple (2) of top 7 forwards in order to be a playoff team.
With the amount of 1 goal games we've been in, the idea of adding an entire scoring line of Lindholm, Monahan, Dach, makes me think we score at least another 50 goals and since they are all relatively responsible defensively we can expect to prevent maybe 25 goals against.
A margin of 75 goals puts us in a position goal differential situation on it's own.
Now factor in player development and growth from guys like Slafkovsky, Newhook, Caufield, and Roy, we could be very competitive IMO.
Anyway, thanks for sharing your perspective. I do not believe in the Ottawa, Buffalo, Anaheim model, I much prefer the Detroit model of rebuild. Hence this post
