<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dom1422</b></div><div>I’d do it. Already have an incredibly strong defense core offensively with Mailloux and Reinbacher still on the way. Mailloux can run a PP. Buchnevich is a 30 goal scorer, Neighbors will be a 30 goal scorer. We would be highly competitive as soon as next season after this deal. Suzuki, Caufield and Slaf become the 2nd line with Dach centering Buch and Neighbors on the 1st, drops Newhook to 3c (don’t need Mesar) still have Beck in the fold in case of injury. That 2nd line would dominate if they aren’t the other teams main focus every night, and that 1st line would be possession juggernauts.

Never said I wanted to move Hutson, but he’s our most valuable piece at a position that is already a huge strength and this deal is steep but at the same time as a Habs fan on this website we have to overpay for every deal because all of our players and prospects apparently suck. You could remove the 1st or Mesar and the deal still goes through. Whichever you’d rather do.</div></div>

I don’t see the need to compete for a cup next year, and that first line isn’t a first line that’s gonna win us a Stanley Cup. No reason to trade an actual first round pick, a prospect picked in the first round a couple years ago, and a prospect that deserved to go in the first round. Especially for Buchnevich, who might not even sign back after next season. Might as well home build our players and if it turns out we could be competitive for 10 years, instead of trading our prospects to win as soon as possible and be good for 4-5.
