At first I was where is Suzuki and KK. Then I was why is Leaky up on 1st line and I noticed more, then I noticed the word tank and got what you were doing. It might be worth a shot. Put those young guys in Laval, let them go deep in playoffs. Trade away assets, hopefully get a good draft pick and then put pieces in place for next season and subsequent years. The only negative I see with this, is why not try and move both Weber and Price? yes they have no trades, but no trades can be lifted to send player for shot at cup. If you keep those two, then keep all your traded players and add to build around them. MTL needs to make a decision, are they building around Weber and Price or around next crop of Suzuki, KK etc?

Claude won a cup with Thomas and Chara at siimilar points they are now with a team balanced between players with all his star players 25 or under alongside some veterans you love and trust followed by one's everyone questioned .

if in the next year or so we have Poehling , KK , Suzuki , Domi,Primeau and Drouin can step up even half as much as Lucic , Marchand , Rask , Horton and Bergeron did then we're doing all right

i mean everyone counted Thomas out until they put him in a Tandem with a young goalie motivating him to play every night as if he could be benched after a bad game .
Chara as he's done for 10 years since has been a stellar leader for dozens of BOS D over the years as Weber will in MTL

i can see you wanting to move Price but moving Weber makes no sense given unlike Price he takes pride in mentoring young guys and doesnt declare it a burden in the media . Weber's the Captain for a reason and he's the best one we've had since Koivu

It is clear from mangement point of view that they are building around Price and Weber, while trying to make the playoff every year and tanking through the process. This is why the situation is so paradoxal and the process will be long until they draft a superstrar. At TDL they will trade Kovy, Thompson, Scandella, maybe Cousins ans Weise. This is all they are going to get, 3rd, 4th and late round picks and try again next year with more experience and the same core team.

What will happen is what Bigphil said, they'll keep both Petry and Tatar and try to win next year adding youngster every year. 2018 was Kotkaniemi, this year Suzuki Poehling Fleury next year Romanov Caufield the year after Ylonen Norlinder/Harris. But Price Weber Gallagher Drouin Domi will be the vets

Don't forgwet the lottery pick that could be in the first five picks. Could be Drydale, Perfetti, Byfield, Raymond or the first one. Let's have a good goalie rotation and live with the resuilts.

And they will do it with the same coach and GM. This is the way Molson wants it. I do agree with this philosophy.

Still have 2 years on his contract. The team plays with effort every game. They just don't clutch and when they do clutch, the goalie fail. It is pathetic.

He will because we're the biggest joke in the NHL the past 25 years with more coaching changes then any other team bar none and the only team to hire coaches back not once but twice.

Claude's the best for the job as he's actually accomplished something in his career .
Gallant would be the only non french speaking coach i could see them hiring and we will just fire him in 2 years because he's not gonna coach us to a cup with this team .

Want Claude to win ?
Our Gm has to be half as competent as Chirelli was moving out Sobotka , Stuart and Wheeler to make room for more experienced guys who could help win today .
If MTL wants to win we gotta move some pieces to make it work or give Claude time to groom the new core .
