Description
I don't want the Habs to trade any of their top picks or prospects this year. Its not worth it. This team is still retooling. They've surprised some people at the start of the year but that doesn't mean they should start selling the farm to try and make the playoffs this year. Frankly making the playoffs this year is bad thing! Yeah sure a couple guys would get experience but it'll be bad experience. A MTL vs TB 1st round exit in 4 games will not help Kotkaniemi whatsoever. You know what will help Kotkaniemi? Better defensmen to get him the puck like prospects in this years draft like Byram, Broberg, Robertson, Soderstrom, etc

Our defense is a joke. Aside from Weber and Petry, every other dman is a bottom pairing guy/AHL player made to play 15 mins a night MAX. Guys like Mete and Juulsen are still developing, it'll take them some time. Our lord and savior Josh Brook will not just come into the lineup and play 20+ minutes a night. He's still years away.

Habs are playing entertaining hockey again. That is all they needed to do this year as a goal. Making the playoffs with a sub par team and drafting outside the lottery is more detrimental than Habs finishing in the lottery with a chance to move up and drafting a potential core piece but not make the playoffs for 1 year.

Additional Details:
TDL move - depth to a contender. He's the odd man out and we have to many dmen as is. Anaheim could use a bottom pairing dman apparently.
2.
MTL
  1. Del Zotto, Michael
Additional Details:
Saw this somewhere else. Makes sense if both teams want to give both guys a new start. Habs give an extra pick just to offset the extra year Schlemko has on his contract. If DZ doesn't work out, habs can just not resign him where as Van has one more year of Schlemko.

This all makes perfect sense, still - given that Price and Weber are going nowhere - MTL doesn't look like they have a choice but pry their way back into contender status within the next year or so. And since the forward corps is about to peak and d-mens take more time to pan out, they should consider trading picks for a young top 4 LD (mid-20's max) before next season starts. Let's say MTL trades for Klefbom, would the team become an obvious contender a la TB or WIN? No. But who would have guessed at season opener last year that cup finalists would be VGK and WSH? As long as you're in the playoffs, there's a chance. Judging by his actions, that's how MB seems to think anyway.

I agree, 100 percent for this year. Although the age of weber and price makes it necessary for them to try and make a run in the next 2-3 years. Find a good young LD this summer through trade, free agency, or draft whatever it takes, and set the team up for a run in 20-21
