So... Habs have been tanking for 3 years straight now... can anyone honestly say they are close to being a good team than they were 3 years ago? Anyone watching the SJ game? Tank all you want but neither current players, not the pipeline aspire a lot of hope.

Demidov alone changes the whole dynamic of this team.

Oh man... I so wish, but he so will not. Maybe for a short priod of time. Habs need good vets, and they desperately need a new coach. Watching this team run around with no purpose on the ice, do you think Demidov will make a difference? Sure he is better than anyone not called Suzuki and Caufiled, but it takes a lot more to consistently win. Habs are soft as butter and Demidov won't change that. THey have no system and Demidov won't change that. THey got not 1 and 2 D and Demidov won't change that.

We need a to aquire another RD like Carrier through trade and hope that one of Reinbacher or Mailloux pans out.

Offensively all we need to acquire is a young veteran 2C preferably who is a left shot. We have the assets necessary to acquire that player.

I will trade slafkovsky for such center. A proven center who produced... not Dach or Newhook type center.

We know the organization won't trade Slaf and there's no need to trade him. We have excellent draft picks we could use, plus we have a couple interesting prospects we could part ways with. Our 2 x 1st round picks should be in play once we know what position we are drafting at, we would be ripe for a blockbuster trade. Exactly What Bergevin could never pull off, "centers are not available". We should be looking to acquire a name brand player who is in his prime. Then we have a great top 6, and it pushes better players down to the bottom 6 and we improve there too.

Slaf - Suzuki - Caufield
Laine - x2Cx - Demidov

Heine - Dach - Anderson
Armia - Beck - Gallagher

San Jose has been rebuilding longer than Montreal and they are still worse than Montreal. Why? Because rebuilds don't end in 3 years. They rarely end in 5. The most commonly end in 7-8 seasons.

Wanting it to end quicker than it ever has for a rebuilding team is just putting unrealistic expectations on it and getting mad when they're not fulfilled.
