The point is to acquire a couple of guys to actually help your young players along. Have the games mean something at least in March. Have Demidov a little something to play for. Give Dach a real solid winger. Nobody's claiming that signing one of those guys makes us contenders. It's specifically designed to help your young players instead of them staring down another season where they're out of the playoffs by December. It's deflating for the team (something they've already acknowledged.
it is called: rebuild.

There was many 2 or 3 guys you could have added this summer making this maybe possible. They have signed elsewhere cause they want to win. Signing guys like Monahan or Zadorov wont help us getting close to a playoffs spot.
I tend to avoid using specific names because in the individual there are endless possibilities (i.e. does the player want to sign, family situation, contract, etc.) so I'm talking about a general step or direction I'd like to see the team take.

Too many people think success is something you can turn on like a switch and multiple rebuilding teams in recent years have shown that this isn't the case. It's gradual and it needs constant work and it requires all aspect of team-building and culture-making, not just making draft picks.

I want this team to say 'Come help us go a little higher!' to Demidov instead of 'Save us!'

If you rebuild, they will come.

Maybe just maybe....we should aim at the teams who lost on the players that are signed today..and offer them graciously Anderson, Armia, Dvorak and Gallagher? I mean...teams that are willing to sign players on stupid money could trade for players that are already signed on stupid money?

Who needs a comedy special when you have the NHL free agent frenzy?

Only the Marchessault deal seems fair so far, among the major deals.

Welp... I can definitively see now that Habs will have another tank season being a punching bag most of the nights. Sigh. Plus ca change...

Like seriously. you're sitting on 19M in cap space with more of it coming off books next season. Get a couple of knuckleheads and bench the creampuffs currently occupying the 4th line. FFS!
