And watch as Arizona plays him at center, tells him to focus on scoring goals, stick a defensively responsible player to babysit him and have him develop into a dangerous 30 goal scorer.
This has that everything MB touches turns to shit written all over it, but you know what? That's ok. Next few drafts look pretty good.
Well, when I asked him if he'd have traded Subban for Weber he said "not in a million years."
Not defending MB by any means but I don't get how AG "turned to shit" he scored 30 goals here and has been productive.
Why is he not as highly regarded around the league by other GMs as claimed by a few sources like Lebrun, Mckenzie, Gagnon? Why wasn't he picked to play in the World Cup team after a 30 goal season?
There's some perception around the league about AG that we as Hab fans may not see because well we're Habs fans and think our players are worth more than we think.
The issue is we wait til the shit hits the fan . You dont like 27 fine .....move him when he scored 30 goals.
I think this article puts a lot in perspective.
I can agree with some of Mathias Brunet's points but some less.
I think in the end there are people that are being far too dramatic on the trade of AG, in the edn it just seems like a swap of two talented young forward who needed a change of scenary
I find it laughable that people are putting it in the same category as the Roy, Chelios or Subban trades.
Those guys are all stars and AG is nothing more than a top six forward

I have to think that MB also regarded AG very highly and maybe did try and trade him but the offers weren't there.
More perspective...why didn't he make that team NA at the world cup after a 30 goal season?
As Mathias Brunet mentions in his article we may have all over valued what AG is really worth.

Everything turns to shit meaning every player traded away blossoms, every player brought doesn't do as well as the one traded away.
In this case, everything turns to shit means galchenyuk scores 30 goals next season, Domi scores 15.

Yep. They should be moving Gallagher right now.
But they will only trade him if his shooting % goes down and his value as well.
Buy low, sell high.

They should be moving Byron.
That guys game is build 90 percent on speed, and he's approaching 30. How long will that speed last?
It's possible the Domi-Galchenyuk trade could have included a third big name.https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/kessel-ever-involved-habs-coyotes-trade-talks/ …

With a proper rebuild? They should but I cannot see him having much value.

Domi is not a goal scorer, they are two very different players.
Personally, I would have liked to keep the natural goal scorer over the playmaker, that's my opinion, we need finishers.
But I don't think we lost this trade in terms of asset value, we got an equally talented young player with a different skill set.
There's actually several people saying that Domi may actually blossom in a new environment.

True, ok, in this case everything turns to shit would be Galchenyuk going 30gls, 30 ast, 60 pts, while Domi goes 15 gls, 30 ast, 45 pts.
Those same people said that Subban would not do well in Nashville. Or that Sergachev was a unproven asset that wouldn't amount to anything.
I'm done listening to people.
