Who cares if we save money 6 years from now? Really, what do you care about that?
Can you tell me anything that is set about our team 6 years from now?
So what's the point? Wouldn't you like to have PK for 4M cheaper over the next 3 years now?
over those three years
year 1 : MB, even before knowing how much PK would cost, said he was OK if we had a "step back year" if it meant our youngsters getting bigger roles and improving. And that also clearly means we're not going all in this season.
year 3 : there's enough players who will be without contract and enough $ freed up in the process, that what the team will look like is almost impossible to predict, therefore, least of Habs worries are how much saving will be made on a single player.
I know you have that fantazy about the next 3 years being the ones we should focus on, but the guy who runs the Habs sees it differently.
And yeah, it is fantazy, given what we know, it's pretty clear that at the very very very best we may contend in the last two of those three years, and that is, if everything goes right.
