Comparing them to 4 Hall of Famers - yes that exactly what I intended.
Let me be clearer, given the current top 6 s - which already has two core players under 6 feet - I don't think Hugo wants to add a 5'10 player and Demidov. That would make for a very soft top 6.
Because core top 6 players change teams all the time right?Yes, because signing and trading players is strictly forbidden in the NHL. The roster we have now must remain the same one forever.

Also Habs are in advantageous cap situation with their top players. None of the young forwards will earn 8 M for the foreseeable future. We will live and die with Suzuki, Slaf, Caufield, Dach, Demidov and one more to add through UFA once the team reaches the next step.
NHL team building is not like EA Sport. It's hard to move big contracts. Ask Toronto how easy it is to trade core players.
if it's easier for you, just imagine that we had traded michkov for reinbacaher at the draft nightYes, because signing and trading players is strictly forbidden in the NHL. The roster we have now must remain the same one forever.

Struble is 3 years older and starting his 2nd pro-season. He should look better.This season Laval. Reinbacher rough around the edges. Both Struble and Engstrom looked better other night.
Guhle isn't even seen as a top 4 defender by most of this fanbase and he's clearly a top 30 D in the league, right now. What you say about Reinbacher is a pipe dream.I can't believe we spend so much time reliving the draft can we actually spend all our time discussing David Reinbacher the player.
Imagine what the scouting/media reports would be like if Reinbacher grew up Canadian. If Reinbacher played for Team Canada.
He would be viewed as a can't miss stalwart praised up and down the rink for his subtle play.
I saw Kaiden Guhle coming in to his first camp as this type of player and called him a sure bet for the following year Reinbacher is better.
Guhle is flashier but Reinbacher is a better defender and has that right handedness you can't teach.
Do all of these miserable people lashing out on literal children just move on to other players once their favorite whipping boy busts or makes it? After embarrassing themselves for two years with Slaf, you’d think they’d learn something.
