I'm tired to see stupid proposals about signing JT or other quick fixes and all of our problems will go away. No free agent signing will fix the Habs. MB has completely mismanaged our lineup, and now the only way forward is to rebuild. The first step in rebuilding is trading our older assets for younger ones. This summer, we need Pacioretty, Weber and Price to be traded. They could generate first round picks and/or young quality players in trades and allow us to form a new nucleus of talented players. It's going to hurt like hell, and the road is going to be long and painful, but it's the only way forward. We have nothing at the moment to build on. Galchenyuk and Drouin are decent young players to have, but they are complementary players at best. Gallagher is a force, but he is not sufficiently talented to carry this team. We have no decent center, no decent left-handed defensemen, and our prospect pool sucks (aside from the goalie position). Looking at our team, it seems like we only have left-handed wingers playing all forward positions. First step of the rebuild is obviously to replace MB. However, I am not holding my breath on this one. Molson appears to be as clueless as MB.
Please use this thread to advocate for a total rebuild, if you believe like me that it is the best solution going forward.
