Value of: Habs veterans between now and Deadline.

[Habs 4 Life]

I lost hope on those guys bringing back something nice in return, Savars should have been moved when he was actually playing decent hockey.

Evans will most probably be extended.

Dvorak and Armia aren't worth much, maybe a 3rd at best. I don't really care about late picks, I just hope KH doesn't go full Pejorative Slur and extend either one of them!

Koivu, Komisarek and Danault even Charlie Lindgren went for nothing....

Lindgren wasn't worth much of anything, the others left after the team made the playoffs.

You don't risk missing the playoffs to rent out players...

we could use a veteran in rd or a forward that plays hard in the top 9.

Most playoff teams can use them. Make good depth for 60th pick in draft. Could be difference between a cup or not

The year Koivu and Komisarek left they got spanked, As for Danault, no one saw that run coming, not even us.

If they were a real contenders then fine but keeping a guy just to make it in knowing you will likely get smashed is poor asset management.

Maybe if they make those deals in 2009 they have an asset or two to help them win in 2010 or in 2014.

Its pretty simply to me, if they can help the team then re-sign them but if they will for sure test the market then they have to go unless they are one of the favourites to win it all.
