POHO anyone?
probably , but if Melnyk wants to win a cup he'd be wise to get Dorion some helpWaaaaaay to expensive and respectable for Eugene to play ball with. Would love to see it though.
Agreed. Rutherford would have my full support. Just being debbie downer since we know it wont happen.probably , but if Melnyk wants to win a cup he'd be wise to get Dorion some help

Even with the Melnyk circus, you have to think Rutherford would be interested in the job here. At 72, he likely wants to go somewhere where he'll have a shot to win in a couple of years.
With our young players, and prospects on the way, we give him that chance. Teams like Vancouver and Calgary, who also may be in the market for a new GM/President, aren't on the upswing.
And I mean... we could use his history in Pittsburgh to lure Malkin here after next season to be the final piece of the puzzle...
Re asset management
Just looking through the trade history of mtl the last few years. Take a look. They consistently turn nothing into big somethings. While we have been turning big somethings into nothing.
Still, I like our future better than theirs. For what that’s worth. Interesting.
Rutherford made a ton of terrible trades in Pittsburgh. Not sure Pierre needs help in that category..
Right... but the trade returns. They get a TONNE more value back compared to PD trades.They are in a different stage ... following years of contending and winning.... that pendulum will change for us and for them again ... past - present - short term - long term

That should be independent of the stage the team is at

You don’t blame excellent trading for lack of playoff success. Could be other things maybe???And that's leading to playoff success how exactly?
Apples to oranges in some scenarios. For instance Dorion would never have been allowed to take on a salary dump like Tatar in the Stone trade like Bergevin did with the Pacioretty trade. Make no mistake Tatar was a cap dump that turned into gold.Right... but the trade returns. They get a TONNE more value back compared to PD trades.

An In-Out chart comparison over the last 5 years between mtl and ott would look crazy. If I had some time.....
That’s one trade. Wasn’t even focussed on that one.Apples to oranges in some scenarios. For instance Dorion would never have been allowed to take on a salary dump like Tatar in the Stone trade like Bergevin did with the Pacioretty trade. Make no mistake Tatar was a cap dump that turned into gold.
I know but it’s one many posters use as a direct comparisonThat’s one trade. Wasn’t even focussed on that one.
