what I would do with the habs is this:
Trades:
Brian Gionta to NYI for NYI 2013 2nd Rounder
DD traded to WPG for Mark Stuart + 2nd Rounder
Raphael Diaz + 2013 1st Rounder traded to NYR for Ryan McDonagh
Rene Bourque traded to COL for Steve Downie
Draft:
if all the trades would happen that would give us 5 2nd rounders to continent our rebuild to the stanley cup and if we really wanted to get a 1st rounder we can easily trade CGY's and NSH's 2nd rounder to get up to the 1st in the 25-30 range but in my view, its not worth it. Unless if CGY was willing to trade the 22nd overall and if Zach Fucale was available and I know habs fans would love to have Zach Fucale. Plus we have price for 5 years and that would give Zach Fucale enough time to develop into a #1 goalie.
UFA signings:
Viktor Stalberg 4 years 1.8 mil av (aka Moen's contract)
Bryan Bickell 4 years 2.5 mil av (aka Prust's contract)
Nathan Horton 6 years 5.25 mil av
David Steckel 3 years 1.5 mil av
this is what our team would look like next year
Patches/Pleks/Horton
Bickell/Eller/Gallagher
Stalberg/Galchenyuk/(Downie/Kristo)
Moen/Steckel/Prust
Subban/McDonagh
Markov/Emelin
Gorges/Stuart
Price
Budaj
this is a great way to build our future and keep our hopes to win as many as Stanley Cups without hurting our prospects pool. it also lets us ease our prospects into the line up and let them develop into NHL players. plus we don't have bring up Nathan Beaulieu and Jarred Tinordi up right away and let them play in the AHL for another full season. Plus if we get an injury they are more then capable to fill in.
