When people try to convince themselves that Mikey Riley is a legit top 4 D, yes you go out and pay for something better

And I don't think the proposed offer is overpaying by any means, especially when you consider it cleared Alzner off the payroll....

Is "Got-his-beer" the answer though, is he the guy you move picks/prospects/players for ? I personally don't think he should be the one.

Better re-sign Benn

Ok, that's fair but:

A) who do you think that player should be? and
B) is that player available?

The problem is that you have to work with players you are able to obtain...remember, trades are hard

I think this is where I'm getting at. I also still see Brook as a top prospect.

If you lose the trade, don't make the trade. Stay with the rebuild.

People often worry too much about the margins on a trade. I'm not advocating trading Brook, at all, however if a trade can be made that makes the on ice NHL team better today, it needs to be considered. Eventually you have to stop stock piling assets and line up to play and try and win a cup. Gostisbehere for his flaws, is the pp QB the Habs need, is 26 and under a fair priced and manageable contract with some term left. The rumour was Shaw or Byron, with some potential plus from the Habs. If you told Habs fans this time last year that trade was available they'd have done it in a heart beat. Eventually you gotta poop or get off the pot.

haha I'm keeping that one.

Boy, future bilionnaire Seattle Kraken #1 goalie
