Yup.

The one advantage of a rebuild/tear down is that you can take your time. You're not the team who needs to get better/fix their team for "this" season.

The Habs should take their time and do it right

Yeah, will be interesting to watch other teams get desperate or have a major injury they need to fill, and be the one to try to take advantage of that.

Habs have some good pieces to trade, that can bring back interesting picks / assets from a desperate team(s).

So they need to rush in a guy with no long term skin in the game to make a franchise altering trade? Makes sense

Splash Gorton..

This Girard opportunity is here now. It fills a need for the Habs. I don’t think an interim GM has full autonomy. Gorton and others in the brain trust would be involved.
- Minnyhock

didn't the Girard being available rumors start because they had an interest in Jack Eichel? from what I understood the Avs aren't necessarily looking to trade him anymore.

Chiarot and Lehkonen are must trades by deadline. The rest you can take your time, even to the draft if needed. The next Habs contender won't be built in a day so to speak

You’re right it started with Eichel. But now a better younger healthy LD in Bynum makes him expendibe.

they need to move away from being a team that wants to be a team for only French Canadians and be more inclusive for all Canadians.

Good to see some fresh faces come in. Hopefully they rebuild it right and get the best people available to improve their scouting and development.

A process to recruit, as soon as possible, the team's next General Manager is under way. While the next General Manager will bring significant hockey expertise to the organization, an additional criterion of that person's role will be to communicate with fans in both French and English.

Well, nice to see where their priorities are
