I don't know why Habs fans are really worried about acquiring a # 1 centre. Hate to be negative the upcoming season appear to be "lost". Going to have a lot of trouble just making the playoffs. Save your assets and money and try to improve the team in the summer of 2018 and reload.
This season, sure I would try to spend to the cap and make the team better, but I wouldn't be trading any assets that would just make you just marginally better for this season. And the Habs really don't that much to offer in trades anyway.
