its not the fact that they got him its when and for how much. They overpaid for a ufa when they should've been slowly building and instead paid 11 mil which made the young core envious and forced them to overpaid all their players. they literally had a 3 year rebuild and dipped. At least habs did a retool, acquiring a bunch of pieces before
Good point, I think under Uncle Lou it would have played out differently. Still it's hard to say no to someone like Tavares.

They had guys like Marleau, Plekanec, JVR. Nothing wrong with them but I think they wanted to take that next step and get a more established (younger) player.

Yeah if Lou was still there, the core 4 wouldn't!
