Now from a Leafs fan. Gotta ask you a question does getting lucky and winning the lottery and drafting Dahlin, then signing Tavares win the Habs a Stanley Cup? Does it turn the Habs into the next dynasty? I say No. You have to bite the bullet an suck like the Penguins did, the Blackhawks did , and the Leafs have done recently. Am i certain the Leafs will win a Cup or multiple... No. But I love or chances, we have a great stable of young talent and more to back them up in the system. The whole Habs system is broken as it was in the Kessel era of Toronto, talent was around just not the right mix at the right time. Gotta blow it up in Montreal.

Thanks for the reply. I actually do think the above roster would be very competitive, 2 impactful players like them at key spots can completely transform a team because it has a trickle down effect on the rest of the roster. Dahlin-Weber would probably be reminiscent of Josi-Weber and one of the better top pairings in the game. I think Tavares-Pacioretty could be pretty explosive and Drouin-Galchenyuk on a second line is good depth. If we assume that Price returns to being a top 5 goalie in the game, all of that combined could be good enough to make significant noise in the playoffs in my opinion. Win it all? Tough to say, it's a bit of a crap shoot these days with the parity, but yes I think they'd have an actual chance.

Listen, Im all for blowing it up but if a strike of luck the Habs landed both Tavares and Dahlin, then by all means we could be a contender. Price, Weber, Dahlin, Tavares, Pacioretty and Drouin would be as formidable as any starting 6 in the league.
