Like the Leafs post-lockout, we’re entering a 10 - 15 years of irrelevancy.
During that time, unlike the Habs when they had up and coming talent, your team’s likely going to win a cup or two.
Every team has a period of boom and bust, however I don't view the Habs as all that bad. Some very good pieces, and a partial rebuild may help. I don't love seeing Price, Alzner, Shaw with those contracts, wish they were moved already (even if Price is unreal) Rads is better gone, but if you could trade a few of those guys above for futures, plus a few good drafts, it could be ok.
When we were bad...... It was dark times boys! Haha we had no choice but to completely tear down. One thing I do know, Habs can never be irrelevant! Plus I love hating and respecting you all at the same time!
