O'reilly makes no sense for where the team is at the moment.
TSN: McKenzie | O’Reilly would be absolute godsend to Canadiens

I guess we can ignore what their fans are saying on the Rumor Forum.
From their perspective, why would they want a player on an expiring contract? Wouldn't it take a sign and trade to entice them?

That makes him an asset for the Habs. Our scouting department evaluates players on a whole other scale.

Dahlin is the only D prospect in the draft that may be able to play Weber minutes next season.

I totally agree. Bergevin's vision is short term, I'd say he has to deliver a playoff team that gets mileage, in the next 2-3 years, after that he's not likely to see his contract extended and won't care what the next GM is stuck with. His tenure has been completely destroyed by his failed work over the past 2 years at least and he has sold ownership a bill of goods that involves a quick turnaround based on adding now-pieces to complete Price and Weber. Trading away draft picks and prospects would not be a surprise in this type of situation.

You're rooting for the wrong team, if that's what you're hoping for.
As am I, by the way. I'd like to see some kind of rebuild but all the signs are pointing to it not happening.
We need to find a Plan B team that does things right.

With the way things are going, we might end up tanking for many more years.

Teams don't always trade base on player's value.
For Buffalo, they gotta get rid some money first.
I'm sure they would like to get rid of Okposo and Moulson first to achieve that but not sure how it's possible.
Their biggest need is on the Left side. Biggest strenght is down the middle.
If they want to trade him, MTL could be a good trade partner.
Always like the player so my opinion is not rational on this one...

Don't think the Habs had the tradeable assets to get that done then.
Which is ultimately a knock on the GM

Unfortunately we're mismanaged so badly that we are never in line to get a centre. If we didn't ruin all our prospects and didn't create the worst farm system in the whole league, then maybe we would have the chips to actually trade for a decent player. Instead we are trying to trade scraps. Shaw has been OK but the fact we lost two 2nd's for him was a massive F*** up.

My fear would be Bergevin gives up this year or next years 1st round pick.
Not sure how everyone here would feel if Galchenyuk had been traded nor do I know how including him in this deal would of helped at all.
Sure we'd be better down the middle...but we'd be weaker on the wing and no Juulsen on the backend.
Would this team be any better today minus Galchenyuk, Scherbak and 1st (Juulsen)
But with ROR?
Maybe...but if so, only marginally better.
The idea is to add an ROR to what we already have

I love ROR but it's gonna cost at least one top asset that we need to trade in order to shore up our defence cause I hate to break it to ya but the dice are stacked against us winning the lottery.
Tavares, Stastny and Bozak are most likely going UFA. In an ideal world (the same one where Drouin is not a center) MB signs Tavares and Stastny or Bozak. I know ROR is a better centerman than those last two but he is going to cost in assets. If we can manage to acquire Tavares and Bozak then the asset you wanted to use on ROR you can trade for a defense partner for Mountain Man. Maybe Goat Boy or Sasquatch Kid.

I think the team has done a poor job drafting past the 1st round, developing players and accumulating assets.
All of those things have contributed to our inability to trade for a center IMO as well as develop one ourselves.
if we had a delorean we could fix this.
that one dimesional complimentary player ship has sailed.

Here we go again......
Our team is supposed to be adding skills/talent, not replace them. Chuckie should not go anywhere. (I wouldn't be surprised if that idiot GM trades him though).
