Do you have ANY idea what you are talking about??? The giant f*** up by Kevyn was counting almost 100% on kids and refusing to get vets because he didn't want to "block their path" because he a ridiculous incompetent clown.
The giant f***up was giving away two players who went on to be superstars and led their teams to cups.

As I said... go get vets. I'm all for it. But don't give up key players to do it. Don't try for shortcuts. You can get vets to fill in your lineup but that doesn't mean you should abandon a rebuild.

Nothing to be sorry about. You are 100% correct. I’d take Tage over CC every day of the week. It’s not close.
Wrong.

CC has outproduced Thompson so far in their respective careers. Higher goals, assists and points per game. Take Thompson over CC? No argument. Big center, in his prime... great player. He's more valuable than the small winger.

Not close? Dead wrong.

And again, we're not looking at things in a vaccuum here. This isn't a question of who should be on this year's Team USA team. The question was trading. And no, it doesn't make sense for Montreal to deal CC for Thompson. Certainly not CC +++ as you said earlier. That would be insanity. He's three years younger, coming into his prime and the Canadiens are nowhere near a 'win it now' team. It would make absolutely no sense whatsoever.

The current Sabres with Eichel and Reinhart minus Tuch, Krebs and Kulich would be a strong team. We also received Devon Levi and pick 16 (Noah Ostlund). Kulich was pick 30 that we received in the Eichel trade. Two real bad trades.
