OK, but that is not addressing my point which is that it could have gone worse and we always look back and imagine taking the best guys... but at the time of those same people, many wanted Kotkienemi or worse.
To your point, I don't agree that Ottawa is a show in to become a great team again. They have some good young players but they may have some more bumpy roads. As for the Habs... they have a good group of emerging young players. Of course the big question is.... how good? Oh and how long can Cary Price be effective (if at all....)
I never said the Sens would be a 'great team again' , I just said their rebuild is on track and moving fast. They got rid of EK, Hoffman etc when the stock was high, that's how its done. What does Bergy do with Webs and Price? The only good news for Weber is that Nashville has to eat his contract if he retires early. That Josh Anderson contract is huge as well, and 10 years later we still don't have a #1 C. He has been looking for a Dman to play with Weber for 5 years. This team is going to be in trouble when Price is gone, who is going to stop the puck?
You have to invest in better scouting. Montreal has 'quantity' in scouting, but not 'quality'.
