Like you I'm not a fan of the trade either. That being said, I am absolutely excited for the upcoming year. I fully expect the habs to do better even in part because of the trade. Not because I think Weber is better, but because I think Therrien will at least use him well; He is damn good at what he does. Muller should hopefully take advantage of him on the PP as well.
Add to that Radulov, who I fully expect to perform as a competent top 6 forward, with 50-60 points.
I also think while Shaw is a marginal improvement over Eller on the ice, his style of play will elevate his teammates somewhat.
Galchenyuk is a year older, and by all accounts looks to be ready for a big campaign, perhaps upwards of 70 points. My guess is somewhere between 60-70.
Gallagher is healthy, he should put up around 60.
Price is healthy according to some solid play at the WCOH.
Petry is healthy, improving our top 4.
And then the young guns, Hudon, Lehkonen, McCarron, Andrighetto, Carr, Scherbak, Sergachev. You can bet at least one of these guys will be a pleasant suprise this season. There is plenty to be excited about.
