Say we keep winning and we go into the wildcard race. I think we should do a blockbuster trade at the TDL and just go for it. Not sacrificing youth or anything like that but like say trade Gally + for a Seguin, something like that.
Bergevin remains our largest limitation. A limitation with biceps, look at that.
A "blockbuster" trade is a major, major move. We need to be realistic and look at his last full press conference + the quotes Lebrun & Lavoie have been gathering over the last few games. He ain't moving big. He found Kovy at the discount counter over at the Salvation Army, this is typical Him. He has no locker room problem whatsoever, the only little hill on the horizon is Domi's raise in the summer. He and the fans love all of Price, Weber, Petry, Tatar, Domi, Danault, Drouin, Gallagher, Armia and Lehkonen. All 24+, some +++. There will be no blockbuster, he doesn't want to upset the room I'm sure. Weber is his dream captain - point blank.
And since he will "not mortgage the future" I can't see a 1st (even in 2022) being traded for help at the TDL. Expect the 2020 version of Dwight King. Just the thought of 'going for it' roughly a month before the deadline with a long break starting now, is the very definition of hopelessness if you look at the standings.
