I feel a Couturier-Galchenyuk swap...
Swapping a top 6 center for a 3rd line one?? I certainly hope not.

If you sign Radu, you trade Galchy for 1C. You can add Lindgren too. You can add our 1st rounder this year and next year if people think we will be worst next year. You can add Gallagher if you need to. You could add Juulsen if other teams are high on him. Some teams might love Mete. If you somehow decide to use Drouin at C...maybe you can get Bryan Little as your #2C. Yeah, smaller players...THIS IS NOT A PERFECT TEAM. But the ideal is to improve. If Drouin looks great at C, and Little, this is better than Danault/Plekanec. You could go Elias Lindholm for the Canes. You CANNOT get Malkin, Scheifele, Getzlaf and all those real #1 C, so you need to get guys that could potential play that role on a team that actually has to use Danault and Plekanec as your #1 and #2C. Can you be perfect? Nope. Can you improve. You are ****ing right you can. AS OF NOW, we improved. You hate to see that Drouin is a winger? Fine. But he'll be the playmaker that centers usually are.
don't care.
should have started sooner by doing some fixin' last season.
Anyways, just to show that a good prospect pool will get you some good players, something Bergy did not have at his disposal in 2012.
Hard to catch fish when you have no bait

For ****'s sake dont trade Galchenyuk, let's have a totally talented line for once.

Mckinnon/Barrie

pacioretty/galagher/bealieu/2nd round
I don't think the Habs are that far off. I think it's realistic to get a puck moving D, while hoping Galchenyuk fills the hole at centre.
I do that deal in a hearbeat! Don't think COL does. I would even consider swapping McKinnon for Duchene.
It's hard when you don't go to the store and buy bait. (Draft/development)
Withh Drouin on board now is the time to move Max. He is the most valuable piece. Weber is ready to be captain. If we can get a good C for Max or maybe a C and D for Max and 1st/prospect go for it. Last playoffs showed that Max time has come for me. Not even 1 goal in that series.
Yeah...fix everything
Have the only perfect team come October
Seems realistic
Waste years for nothing because being a GM is hard!
We don't want a perfect team: we want to contend. You want to move towards maybe one day being able to contend.

Writing was on the wall when Claude put him on the 4th line in the playoffs. He's done.

I think this trade is a move in that direction, don't you? Not the best day for MB memes when he pulls off a move like this.
I do. This little skirmish is an offshoot of a previous row between me and 417. We agree on the things that need to be fixed. He seems to think that we should not expect these things to be fixed immediately (before this year's playoffs). He's never offered an explanation for why we should plan to enter the playoffs with major unanswered questions in our lineup.
