Going into 2015-2016, there seems to be two different trains of thought among HF Habs fans. Either we need to make a push for the Cup while our core is still young OR our core is still young enough that we should manage our assets and continue to draft high and develop our prospects.
Our core`s effective ages: Patches 26, Subban 26, Galchenyuk 21, Gallagher 23, Petry 27, Eller 27, Price 29, Weise 26 (arguably)
Still earning their spot: Beaulieu 22, De La Rose 20
Significant veterans: Plekanec 33, Markov 37
Top Prospects: Sherbak 19, McCarron 20, Tinordi 23, Reway 20, Hudon 21
The implications are this: If we are pushing for the Cup then we are keeping Markov and Plekanec and making our picks and prospects available in order to gain those pieces that will take us over the top. If we have time to continue our build, then we hold onto our picks and prospects and perhaps guys like Plekanec and Markov could be available for more picks or prospects.
We can`t be inbetweeners and hope that we can move players not listed above for significant assets, while waiting to see how guys like Galchenyuk, Beaulieu and our prospects develop.
