Carey Price
Habs get size and cap relief. Jets get a starter. Win/win.
That's a huge overpayment for Carey Price. They need to add in a big way.
OK they can add Tangradi.That's a huge overpayment for Carey Price. They need to add in a big way.

After seeing the Boychuk contract, trade Buff this summer. Buff will get 7 years and even more money than Boychuk. That's too much IMO, trade him while his value is sky high this summer.
Yeah the Boychuk contract was concerning. At minimum Buff can demand a couple million per year more based on past performance.

If WInnipeg was a big market and the Jets spent to the cap and buff was 25 and not almost 30, i'd say sign him, but... Winnipeg isn't, The Jets don't and he's going to be 30 soon.
Trade Buff this summer while his value is high. I think we'd get a good haul for him, probably some pieces that will help us more than Buff does. Let's be honest, with buff, with ladd, we are a bubble team at best. IMO, it's time to move on and shift the leadership to the younger guys. It's just time. 3 or 4 seasons now of not being good enough, you gotta move some guys out and change the culture a bit. Change the leadership up. I like Buff but... signing him to a long term big money contract with a team who doesn't spend to the CAP and never will is suicide.
I don't see how we will be much better next year. Even if we signed some of our rentals. I think this is what we get with this core . I don't think we can count on shief to explode to a dominant 2nd line Center next year
If we put another rookie or two in there will be the same growing pains we had the last couple years with shief. I think this was the year we peaked with this core, if you could call it that. We have been in the exact same position after 65 + games last four years.
We have a great future but our prospects won't be huge factors for 3 years at least in my opinion
2 words. Better goaltending.

A little excess of negativity I think. We were not just 1 point out of a PO berth the last 3 years. Injuries have hit us unusually badly this year. Our goaltending has let us down again and we have slumped lately but we have 14 games left and are only 1 point out. Recent results are a little discouraging but it is way too soon to quit.

What is a dominant 2nd line C? thanks
I can only sight one dominant 2nd line center, Evegeny Malkin and that is only because he plays behind Crosby.
Bergeron, Carter, Johnson, Zetterberg (when he's playing there), Dubinsky, Kesler, Couture, etc.
Only 1?!?!?! I mean, maybe not Kes or Dubi, but you get the point. Those guys are all great 2C's.
Anyways, you're kidding yourself if you think Scheif is a good 2C (right now). He's just not there yet. He absolutely can be with time, but he's not yet.
I think you have not been paying attention lately. Scheif has been very good. Not good for a 2nd year player. Not good for a 21 year old. Just very good.
Trust me, i've been paying attention. There's a reason he's my avvy and namesake. You're exaggerating how good he's been. He's got a lot of parts to his game that need work. I think he'll get there, but really he's not yet. I know he's capable of more. He's playing well for a second year player and a 21 year old. He's not a good 2C yet though.

Scheifele in his 2nd year, is already in the top half of 2nd line center in the LEAGUE.
He plays 200ft game. If he has an Achilles , it is his face offs. He said he is working on it everyday in one of his interviews. Also, was it Tavares, mentioning that a lot of cheating is going on during face offs now. Most likely the vets does that.

Though your right this year and hope next year is the peak year of our core.
After that, they will support the Schiefele, Trouba, Lowry, Myers, Perrault along with Ehlers, Morrissey, Petan and Hellybuck.
