How possible would it be to draft Hughes and Lafrenière in 2019 and 2020?
Lafrenière - Hughes - Suzuki
Drouin - Kotkaniemi - Gallagher
Domi - Poehling - Scherbak
Keep dreaming !

I'm discouraged about most Habs fans thinking that Suzuki is a center.
See my point with this post below.
Trading a signed Pacioretty for 2 wingers and a magic beans is terrible to me.....and it's not because any of those things sucks. Again, we got rid of a player instead of going for what this team need,
Are you high or something? Price has won a Vezina and a League MVP .. do you understand that?
What has Max pacioretty done? except score a couple goals with his best friend midget for a couple of sorry years
Even Marinaro is playing it dumb that way this morning

Dont waste your time, he's out of his element that posterTBH, who cares. This is not a team that is going to win something soon. Did you think they would rebuild instantly in a summer's time? Did you believe this team was close to being a playoff contender?
Are you suggesting to spend 7m on a good player to separate us even further from the 1st overall pick???Better that than having more than 7M sitting there doing nothing.
I don't believe for a second that an equivalent contract would be 9 million because of taxes.You want to pay max 9 mill a year then you go on right ahead bud

people thought we were going to get a 25 year old 40 goal scorer for Max, its hilarious
Hey thats great, and it was fun, and its alllll in the past.He's one of the top goal scorers in the NHL over the past 6 years and is one of the best era-adjusted goal scorers in Canadiens history.
...Which is closer to his real value.He just a signed a 4 y contract worth 28M.
Redux91, I do respect all posters here, though. It's their opinion. Just like mine. So I have no problem with that. All I want is to understand the mindset of the regular Joes I read on RDS and Facebook, who want this team to become a winner instantly.
If this trade is not a proof of a rebuild, then I don't know what people need...I guess Weber. THEN, they will see the light.
And maybe that's why Molson can't talk about a rebuild : Montreal fans are like religious fanatics, who would just go jump off the bridge if they'd learned that ETs existed. Montreal fans would go nuts and stop buying tickets if they knew that the R word is what they are doing in reality. From what I'm reading today, I can see why.
Suzuki will possibly still play at OHL level. Tatar can score 20-25. Domi between 15-20.

Bergevin could have gotten more at last year's deadline but this Suzuki kid looks really promising. We weren't going to get an established number 1 center in return for Pacioretty. According to all the hockey prospects sites this kid is listed as a center what makes you think he's a winger? If he is a winger then sure it's a bad trade.I'm discouraged about most Habs fans thinking that Suzuki is a center.

One position at a time. I would think the 2019 draft will be about top wingers and defencemen.
Did I say that he was going to be a center? Don't tell me that you were one of those fans who truly believed this organisation was going to rise up from the ashes of mediocrity in one summer?
I'm all for Bergerien leaving. And he will leave. But this trade is not about getting Tatar. It's about getting a very talented prospect. And Habs just got that.
Better not pray for better results in the next 2-3 seasons. You will be disappointed. This organisation is going to fall farther down before rising again.
Fair, BUT he remains a top and highly touted prospect nonetheless, of course we WANTEd a better one but we got what we got, and the reasons for that could VERY well be because our bumbling GM unfathomably waited until SEPTEMBER 9TH to get this done, damaging a lot of pacioretty's valueBut I'd rather have a REAL young prospect centerman like Borgstrom or Chytil or Thomas or Villardi. Suzuki might be just another winger (small) à la Drouin.
Of course we're rebuilding, youd have to be one of these people you are talking about not to see that weve been rebuilding since the season ended, and i completely agree, of course they cant SAY we're rebuilding, ..you just unfortunately cant say it in montreal, as embarassing as that is, its just the way it is like you said, Toronto was able to pull off the feat because shanahan gives no ****s, but the cowards bergevin and molson, they will "pretend" allllllll day everyday that we are contending for the playoffs
But everyone knows, well anyone with half a brain knows, that we are rebuilding for the Future, and Max had to go and bring future assets back, and it was done, rejoice.
