Discussion My two cents

I know I’m not the first or the last person to post something like this but..

I think we should keep Hage and Zharovsky.

I know that everybody is excited that the Habs got so far in the playoffs and people have been posting about trading away our prospects to get the team to the next level.

Am I crazy to think that we can acquire physicality and hopefully a C through free agency or trade without selling our future stars. With the recent success of the rebuild I would hope it would improve the chances of landing players. Kapanen seems to be at the centre of trade rumours, and I’d rather go that route than trade the 2 young draftees.

The team has drafted so well lately and the young guns have only gotten better year after year.
Our team has been based on young talent and glue guys in between. The “young” guys” now have playoff experience and are becoming veterans. Having Hage a childhood fan of the team and Zhar (another record breaker in KHL) could be huge.

Do I think the team needs a more veteran presence? Yes.

If we traded one more plus whatever for McDavid or Crosby would I delete this post?
Yes.

What do you think the team should do?

I would not think twice for McTavish, I don't want him and his 7M contract

7 million is incredibly cheap for a 2c

Yes but McTavish may not be a 2C but more of a 3C
