Thread: Rebuild is ON
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>Montreal doesn't <em>need</em> a rebuild right now. If you guys miss out on Tavares, you can go after a combo of players (like Stastny and Perron). Move Plekanec this year for a decent return, MAYBE move Galchenyuk and Pacioretty for a few NHL-ready kids if the drama is causing an effect in the locker room, and take advantage of a rested Price next season. Keep your picks instead of moving them for rentals, and you'll be fine for another 3-4 years.

Getting a kid like Quinton Hughes at this year's draft gives you some solid defense stability in a few years, even with an aging Weber.</div></div>

I can't agree with that. Keeping Weber and Price for sure, but the rest has to go, rebuild/retool needs to happen.

Thread: Keep Core - 2018-19 - 79M Cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dconn</b></div><div>The trouble with this years draft (for the habs at least) is that they're probably better off taking a D over a winger (which is what BT is) if they end up in that 4-7 zone. Now I can live with your 4th... however, I immediately fire you as head scout just for passing up on Joe Veleno twice after the first pick. Kid is arguably one of the top 3 NA centres available... will likely be taken before 20th pick.</div></div>

But I get what you're saying he's not a 1st round pick IMO. He will most probably drop to the second early/mid second round. I went extreme here with a late 2nd round pick, but even then I think this kid got overhyped earlier on and will not be as good as you may think.

Thread: Yes Pacioretty is worth something
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FryesLeapMaine</b></div><div>You're right about us having no influence on real stuff, but I don't think anything negative should be derived from that fact. I think Fleury has been good this year and is a slow developer, but if you don't like him at all I can see why you'd think that was underpaying. Maybe Gauthier + 2x 2nds + idk. I don't think Pacioretty will land you a prospect who has a good chance being better than him. Maybe you take Gauthier + Roy + Kuokkanen as a deal, but I don't think you're going to get a future #1 defenseman or #1 Center for Pacioretty.</div></div>

Man look at what a rental like Hanzal can get you, he is way better than that, has a very affordable 4.5 cap hitfor 2 more years. That's alot of value right there imo

Thread: Yes Pacioretty is worth something
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FryesLeapMaine</b></div><div>I'm a Bruins fan and I don't really " Hate" on players unless they get overhyped. Pacioretty won't get you more than Fleury + 2x 2nds imo. Fleury is an A- Prospect, he'd grow into a #3. 2x 2nds is like your "re-do".... you should have never traded 2x 2nds for Shaw. It was time to throw some more darts at the board and hope they stuck. Instead it amounted to a 3rd liner who's helping you enough to not get a top 3 draft pick without winning the lottery. That just really seems unhelpful.</div></div>

I'm honestly not confident Fleury is that good... Maybe your not taking to account of that beautiful 4.5 mil cap hit. I would try to get the A prospect for a player of Patches caliber, but I respect your opinion. Even if I or you were right, we have no influence on the real thang.
