Habs Halifax

You are not remembering the trade clearly. It was one underpreforming problem child for another underperforming problem child. The Habs got very lucky. Maybe all he needs is a hug, to get him going. Oh right you said he's still developing.
I remember the circumstance of that trade just as much as you do. Do you remember how long Galchenyuk was on the trade block where we kept him until we got a player with equal upside? That's the point we are talking about. I don't support trading Drouin for a cheap return cause we want him shipped out of town. That's what some people are saying and it's not smart asset management. If we trade him, wait for the right circumstance... what's the rush?
Lucky? I don't believe so. Bergevin and his team were very comfortable with taking on the "trouble" player in Domi and told us that he will thrive in Montreal. That's not luck, that is being spot on with what they though they were getting in Domi after holding onto Galchenyuk until they got the return they liked.
