@DenisPMtl@GrumpaDotCA The point made, is draft position doesn't really made after a few years. You trade for the value they are at not where they were perceived.
Knies is a unicorn , they would have made that deal penciling in Hage as 2C. Either way, deal is dead. Doesn't matter.
@JGMTL1991@NHLRumourReport You're adding in the two major prospects. It was one major and another prospect not named Have/Reinbacher.
How many 22 year olds do we have that have posted 55+ seasons and improving year after year. The list is pretty small.
@Fedorov_999@chrismeaney Same position? How
Youngest team in the playoffs
Core players are on their ELC or signed long term
2nd youngest team in the NHL
first time in over a decade, they actually have decent assets to move in trades
Management that understands cap and patience unlike 2014
@Fedorov_999@chrismeaney Rangers have a terribly incompetent front office and management, Habs situation is not at all the same.
Window just opened, they don't need to keep tanking and wasting years of the players' prime
@Fedorov_999@chrismeaney Abandoned the rebuild? Pray tell what assets they gave away to make it to this point in the playoffs? They've improved year over year without giving up key assets or picks (one 2nd for danault only)
