Thread: I can only wish
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Black61</b></div><div>Habs arent spending a 2nd to acquire a pending ufa. Thats beyond stupid</div></div>

I think you need to read CF67 last sentence again. His opinion states that 'Habs could sign Mantha if they wanted him after the season'. Then he says 'he's not going to the Habs' inferring that 'If they wanted to, they could try but it's not happening'. Then he says 'the trade is terrible for Washington'. It is because they would be getting only a decent 4th liner to replace a 20 -25 goal scorer. This is in fact, not a good move for Washington. Then he gives the opinion that most of us share that if he's going to be moved that 50% retained to get a 2nd rounder back is a good trade. I don't think he was saying that's what Montreal would/should give. It's the deal that should be made, but not to Habs.

Thread: Modest retool to try and qualify
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brady_t12</b></div><div>This team is definitely not making the playoffs at this point. This run they've been on of late has cemented that. Rentals shouldn't be targets, and I think Lapierre should not be moved unless it is in a package for a young player who can make an impact.</div></div>

Ok well then a lesser prospect in that Dumba trade then...I just think this kind of buying I have here, wouldn't kill the picks and prospects pool. And if you don't make the playoffs you can still draft high and do things in the summer to make one more run in September. Or you can continue to move guys and add young pieces this summer too. I just don't see something like I have here as a disaster if they were to miss the playoffs. They probably do what they did last year, sell some and try to add a young guy and I am fine with that but doing some buying might spark the vets and the coaching staff to another level and it might work out, you never know.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ClockReads2113</b></div><div>Pass. This team isn't good enough. Sell all you can and bomb for a draft pick. Trading Lap for a bad rental D is very bad asset management.</div></div>

Well then any top 4 D to push others down would do. There is risk in every move any GM makes and they don't lose a ton here. I have been all for selling but this is just some alternative thoughts if Bmac actually does the unexpected and bolsters the team with 2 added players to try and qualify. I would not hate if he could get 1 or 2 players for the line up with out giving away his 1st rounders. Maybe AZ would take less? I thought of Savard but he is a 2 year rental that the Caps wouldn't do I think, although he'd be a better add to the top 4.
