Voted to chill it out.
We have a semi good but young squad, with great young talent ready to emerge. No point in going wild. Let's just stay put, give everyone some playoff experience, and deal if need be during the summer. Then again, if someone offers something ridiculous, you take it and run, especially if it's young players with great upside or topend picks. We're not contending this year.
Buying is not a good idea. You still have Subban and Markov to sign. Let's keep the cap low, and buy in july.

He could sell from the C position where he's got 4 guys capable of playing C in the top 9 in Pleks/DD/Eller/Briere. I'd include Galchenyuk as 5, but they won't, but still you have depth there and redundancy in the type of play/size/skill that DD/Briere have, so move one of them.
He could do the same with the all the 4th liners he has. Moen could probably net you a nice return this time of year and Prust/Bournival/Weiss are still going to be available for 2 4th line winger spots.
Any assets returned for those two moves could be picks/prospects you keep or he could turn around and use those assets for help on the wing or the back end. He could actually buy and sell if he were inclined.

The only move I would do is trade Markov, to be honest. His value is the highest it'll be from this point on. Depending on what we could get in return, I'd pull that move off.
Otherwise, stand pat. Don't give up the future to *try* and make a run for it when we're clearly not there.

Just good enough is not good enough!
We are an average team.........not gonna win the Cup this year, next year with current roster and current prospects aren't gonna do it for us. We need big, young scoring prospects to continue to progress into perennial contenders.
Keep Markov, trade Markov.....it really doesn't matter unless we get bigger, meaner, tougher and can put the puck in the net consistently, night in and night out.
If we can help ourselves by trading the guys that won't be around in a couple of years....then I say do it. Short term sacrifice for long term gain.
I just dread more of the same..........mediocrity, mediocrity, mediocrity. Since when has making the playoffs become the Montreal Canadiens Stanley Cup? Does the Molson family need the 1st round money that badly? Is MB afraid that if he misses playoffs he's done? Therrien?
Something has to change or we will be stuck in the mud for a long, long time.

And Prust...
They also drafted McCarron and Crisp.
Bergevin does value size and intensity, more than me actually.

We will do nothing as usual. (Presser details below)
- in on a few deals but nothing materialized
-teams were asking for too much
- teams inquired about DD but we felt that he was a big player for us going forward.
-do you guys like my hair?

The best deals you make are often those that you don't make.

Since your not allowed to do a FYP, let me do my own analysis of the presser
- in on a few deals but nothing materialized
-teams were asking for too much
- teams inquired about DD but we felt that the Habs forum on HF boards would have nothing to talk about so in the interest of building interest in the sport, we are keeping him

New management team but the same freakin stay put and do nothing result. It would be nice to have a proactive gm. We are happily in the middle since 1993.

You are really reaching here. Beaulieu had a couple of bad games when he was sent down, but has since stepped it up big time. I think it was always the plan to give both Beaulieu and Tonordi time in Montreal this year.
Why didn't you raise the same red flag when Tinordi was sent down this year and it took him over a month to get his game in gear. As a matter of fact, Beaulieu has been than Tonordi overall in Hamilton.
