Without even touching the trades - I think you've bought too low on Strome, way too high on Klingberg, and trading Savard RIGHT after signing him looks really bad - philosophically, no there is no fixing the Montreal Canadiens this season. Bergevin and the Canadiens brass will have the luxury of pointing to the vast number of sustained injuries to start this season and they're within every right to do so, but the Canadiens have over-achieved for a while now.

There is so much money tied up in middle-of-the-roster players and a very noticeable lack of the top-end talent that is going to be needed to remain relevant in an ever-improving Atlantic division. Suzuki is excellent, Caufield will get there, but every other facet of this roster is questionable. Petry and Price cannot be solely relied upon until their bodies wind up failing like Weber's did. The Armia and Hoffman deals look particularly bad given this team's circumstance.

The cup run was fun but the Habs should seriously consider gutting their front office top-to-bottom and purge any non-RFA player with 2 or fewer years left on his deal. Move forward with the Caufield-Primeau-Romanov-Suzuki core and bring in some genuine top young talent over the next two drafts.

Hawks aren't going to touch that for Strome. Reason being...

1) Hawks don't need another LW
2) Strome is 24 vs Lehkonen 26
3) Lehkonen has never produced at the rate Strome has
