Hfboard dream is to build a young exciting team full with own drafted players and have more than 7 picks in every drafts.Sometimes I think if someone trades a seventh round pick for Connor McDavid, HF would get mad at trading a seventh round pick.
I agree that there are always fans on both sides of the fence for teams that aren't legit contenders, but at the same time, a team like Montreal has had a "let's make the playoffs - anything can happen" approach forever now. This approach meant trading our prospect pool to maintain the status quo. Meanwhile, teams like Pitts, LA and Chicago have proven that selling your assets for meaningful futures and growing them together is what builds dynasties nowadays. I would personally love to see that in Montreal; id rather have a team that takes another 3 years to make the playoffs but that can hope for hte cup every year than this status quo crap
A good young prospect >>>>>Late 20s 40-50 pts forward or 2’d pair DA youth focused forum like HF has a lot of people who never want to stop rebuilding. We have guys that get upset when playoff teams don't trade off their pending UFA's.
HF is a Bizzaro world where the best prospect pool is way more important than actually winning the cup.
Or a rookie who has never played a game is better than an All-StarA good young prospect >>>>>Late 20s 40-50 pts forward or 2’d pair D
Bizarre HF logic
I do agree all teams are not created equal when making deadline decisions. I'm not going to speak for Vancouver fans and if they think this is the first of many trips to come or if it was a fluke and the rebuild still has years to go but I think all fans can agree it's more fun when your team makes the playoffs and actually tries to win. Hoping my Leafs face them in the final .
Schaller is an asset? It's a fair deal and playoffs record has nothing to do with it...small price to give it a shot. Not going to cripple them.Absolutely garbage trade. You haven’t made the playoffs in 5 years and you deal 3 assets.
****ing joke
I don’t like many decisions made by Jim Benning, I think he lacks patience especially now with his job on the line.I do agree all teams are not created equal when making deadline decisions.

ExceptAgree.. i suppose the habs are going through what the Leafs are just getting out of. I just tired of 8th place finishes, or lineups that only require the other team to block one player to win.

Except
The habs is lacking in franchise talent
They have absolutely zero franchise changer, Poehling, KK even Suzuki, none of them are.
Find someone who can draft, hit a god damn blue chip in the first round FFS, who was the last franchise forward the Habs got?
People be like: WTF Van you spent assests to acquire a quality NHL player? Could have had him for free.
On the KingsToffoli had 34 points last year, and hasn't broken 50 points in 5 years . . .
Honestly, I doubt Benning is worried about his job or is in danger. His draft record here has been great, are you really going to fire a GM that added players like Pettersson, Boeser and Hughes to your team and added a top line power forward winger like JT Miller. Benning didn’t make this move out of concerns about his job... he made it cause he’s sees a shot to go deep into the playoffs and he took it.
Little personal for HF don't you think?Just curious. How big are you?
Dont understand this trade at all??? Nucks acting like they are a Toffoli away to make a run for the cup!
A top 3 prospect in their org. for 2 months of Toffoli + picks thats really bad, the Nucks problem hasnt been goalscoring, its the D with terrible depht, Marky has saved their bacon game after game.
They also have to deal with Tanevs and Markys eventual extensions off season, so if the do sign Toffoli at 6m , wheres the cap to sign the other 2?
The Nucks is n my book the worst team among the teams fighting to clinch, i bet they misses out anyway , only needs some normal goaltending for them to fall like last season!
I’d say they are better than the Oilers and Flames. Oilers have no depth and questionable goaltending and are running their two star players into the ground. Flames have some good talent but just not performing this year. I think they get it together. I’d say the Oilers as the weakest likely miss again and the rest is pretty wide open with the Canucks having as good a chance of any of the teams fighting. Markstrom is an elite goalie. This is his new normal.Dont understand this trade at all??? Nucks acting like they are a Toffoli away to make a run for the cup!
