    There are many ways to build a winner, but I always thought the "roll 3-4 lines" model would work best for a team like the Habs that doesn't tank. You can't count on generational super-elite position players, so you have to overwhelm the opposition with wave after wave of good players. That seemed like the kind of team we were building around 2014, but...Bergevin.

     

    Actually, given the number of OK young FWs we have, this kind of model might still be in reach. That may be one reason why a RNH-type deal appeals to me, it seems consistent with this non-top-heavy philosophy.

     

    It depends on your slant.

     

    Most regard hockey and american football as weak link sports. As in, you're better off improving the bottom end of your team rather than paying through the nose for elite talent.

     

    Basketball runs counter to this.

    The thing for me is that I would always rather a young centre in that #3 role or a cheap veteran. In an ideal world of course a top six calibre centre pushed down the depth chart but the cap doesn't really allow that most of the time.

     

    I was fine with getting rid of Eller because we had Danault. But I would hate to see us then spending $3.5-$4M on Danault. I always prefer to spend the bulk of the cap on stars and as little as possible on the depth.

     

     

    Vegas would be a strong counterpoint to your argument.

     

    I say that a uniformly strong 1-4th line is better than an elite 1st line and mediocre 3rd and 4th line.

  3. I don’t know about you guys, but the most exciting part of this season is when my phone dings. In that brief instant, there’s the small possibility that MB will begin to redeem himself. That we’ll begin to see the retooling of this team into something befitting of the most storied franchise in all of North American sports.

     

    Until then, tank baby tank.

    Every time the Habs are making a game out of it I’m reminded of how unequivocally my fandom is too them. No matter how tough the season, there’s nothing better than a solid game. By no means are they dominating but this game has been fun. 

     

    Sometime me I have to remind myself not to get too down. It’s all for fun, might as well enjoy it while we can haha 

     

    That’s a great attitude but I’m looking long term and high draft picks.

     

    Double shift our “character guys” and put some shrooms in Niemi’s water.

    Leave the guys wife out of it for crying out loud.  That is one of the worst posts I have ever seen on this board.

     

    I am not a fan of Bergevin ads Habs GM either, but come on...

     

    Does no one have a sense of humour anymore?

     

    This isn’t the UN guys. This is dudes talking hockey.
