Here we are folks, at the crossroads of the season. Half of it its in the book. The Habs perform way better than I thought they would, Ill admit. But when I look at the standing this morning, while drinking my coffee , I cant help but feel sadness with the states of thing. We are one point away from a playoff spot and I dont think we can make it. The second half of the season is always tougher, teams are preparing for the series and the intensity climb a notch. So what are we gonna do? We are in the no man's land , just a bubble team who doesnt make the playoff and doesnt have a good quality pick in the first round. By quality I mean at least a top 10.
The status quo would be unacceptable in my book, we can afford to lose another season for nothing. There is two way we can go, either we make a push for the playoff by trading young assests and picks or we sell high on some of our good older players to help the team sink and add some prospects and picks to our already interesting youth. Finishing a couples points from the playoff would be the most disastrous scenario for our team. The same rinse and repeat cycle we are doing for a good quarter of century now.
So what would you do if you were in charge?( poll mods)
1. Trade assets to get a LD to help the push for the playoffs ( I read a lot of posts where people seems willing to go down that route)
2. Trade older players with good value in exchange of prospects and quality picks
3. Status quo. Stay in lane and just hope we clinch a playoff spot.
If I was in charge I would put Petry, Byron , Tatar on the blocks. I feel theses players can fetch us a good return and their departure would result in a dive in the standing for the habs. Get closer to a top 5 picks. That would be the best move for the near future of our club IMO.
