Quoting: F50marco
The only way to guarantee the tank is to remove the top line and Monty. That's simply not happening. I think you have to come to terms that the Habs will not be bottom 5 and they could be anywhere from 6-15 probably.
As bad as the Habs have been this year, believe it or not, they are better than a lot of teams above them in the standings. Just having Dach not get injured probably would mean this team would be in a wild card spot right now. Let that sink in.
Yeah, I know.
That's why I want to tank one more year to get a missing piece in the top 6.
A guy like Demidov, Lindstrom and even Eiserman would probably sound the end of the "tearing down" part of a rebuild. From then, it would only be about growing as a team (which I believe we are already doing).
a top 6 of :
Slaf - Dach - 2024 Draftee
and
Newhook/Roy/Mesar - Suzuki - Caufield
Has the potential to be enough to contend, especially considering the Dcore we are building with Hutson, Ghule, Mailloux, Reinbacher, Xhekaj, Struble and Barron.
We won't be top heavy with huge superstars forwards - we would be well balance IMO.
