Just because YOU think that doesn’t make it so. Price and Weber are considered as some of the best players in the world at their positions. Not my opinion but the players. Are a player? No, so I’d say your opinion doesn’t count as much as there’s.
Second, we don’t have terrible wingers. We have a top 10 NHL goal scorer. We have 2 other 30 goal scorers and another who’s supremely talented who was asked to play out of position for an entire season.
We have more than enough cap space to pay him more than anyone else can offer. We also have enough cash to sign another 3nd line centre or LHPMD to build the roster.
We’re going to have a top 7 pick and already have some very promising young players coming up like Mete, Juulsen, Lehkonen, Scherbak etc.
We’re the Montreal freaking Canadiens. That still means something to NHL players. He can become immortalized in the winnigest and storied franchise in the history of the sport and help bring this franchise back to greatness on the biggest stage in the country on the most loved team in the country. That’s something a winner wants more than anything.
So to recap, just because you choose to see this team through a negative lens doesn’t mean others share your extremely pessimistic and narrow view point. Habs have a ton of positives that you chose to ignore to fulfil your negative narrative.
1- Weber might be good but alone he sucks , Literally nobody to play with him , including Mete who should be playing in the AHL next season.
2- We have terrible wingers , Lekhonen is a bottom 6 , Scherbak not established top 6 , Drouin not even playing wings , Galchenyuk should be playing center , Byron 3rd liner ,
Pacioretty will be traded at this draft of this summer 100% sure , ill paypal u 150$ if not .
3- Who cares if we have Cap Space? Price will eat 4m of it , Danault will get around 2.5m-3m. here already 6m down the drain ,
Also our Third line Center is Phillip Danault , hes not good enough to play in the top 6. Bergevin will sign dumpster players like Jack Johnson , Paul Stastny , Riley Nash , Tyler Bozak and will probably be super overpaid. Forget John Carlson and John Tavares. Bergevin will sign trash 33+ year olds player to keep his job and laugh at us.
4- Who cares if we have a top 7 pick? Except top 3 that prospect wont be playing the habs next season. Also Mete is barely 3rd pair Def right now , So is Juulsen and Scherbak needs more AHL. Also Lekhonen is a bottom 6. stop dreaming he lack skills.
5- Nobody f***ing cares we are the Montreal Canadiens , we are not in 1980 , people dont give a shit about that , they want money , fame and the freaking cup. (except for couple players
) Bergevin wont ever be the GM that will make the habs shine again. Its sinking deeper and deeper everyday. Molson is also a big idiot. He should hire a Hockey President above Bergevin atleast. Molson knows batshit about hockey. I know 100x more that Molson in hockey.
6- Im not negative , look where are we going. We traded Weber for Subban , we overpaid our goalie by atleast 3.5m. We Traded Andrew Shaw for Debrincat and Girard. We traded Sergachev our future star Defs For a ''fake french center''. Bergevin is destroying Galchenyuk Career by playing him at wings. Our AHL club is god garbage tier. Our GM is an idiot. We have no good prospects except maybe for McNiven and maybe Poehling. Whats positive about this?
This team will finish bottom 10 again next season if no GM is fired and a rebuild is made. We wont go anywhere. End of the story.
