No one is giving up a boatload of unprotected and swap picks for a decade

No, but they are stuck in the middle of being a rebuild team and going for it
Habs are in a similar no mans land.
I hope they all hit including Primeau and Yolenen in 3 years , however we need a better base for these guys to integrate with

Last summer we traded Galchenyuk for Domi, and later Pacioretty, the year before we traded for Drouin, the year before we traded Subban for Weber and added Radulov.
Your narrative is completely wrong.

I didn't want overpaid mistakes either. But, I was hoping for someone better than Chiarot to upgrade the weakest link on the team. I was hoping for some help up from. A top 6 guy like Dzingel or Ferland would have been nice, especially after losing Shaw.
I am not confident that this team is better than last year. Most of it remains on the shoukders of our young players.
We have way too much cap space for the Montreal Canadiens. We should have gotten the pick for Marleau if that was the plan.
I'll wait until camp but for now it's a disappointing summer, it's only good in the sense that we haven't made huge mistakes although I think Chiarot might end up being one.
You can't trade every veteran, especially younger ones like Gally.
There's a reason: the owner is cheap.

I was talking about signings, but sure, he does usually pull off a trade.
Sure you can if Gally nets you a heist like the Max deal
He is younger at 27 but his contract is up at 29 . Chances of him playing at this level on his next 5-6 year contract are slim
Same for Petry and Tatar , no one is untouchable

Hilarious how Carolina outplays us. They keep Aho, they land a 1st pick for taking on Marleau and sign a 26 goal scorer for cheap on a 2 year deal when we said the Aho deal took them to the Max they want to spend. And they land Haula on a steal of a trade.
An impressive offseason for a nobody team.
I’m sorry but I think MB is just bad at his job, doesn’t have the brain power to build a proper strategy and execute it. He improvises and dresses like a pimp, that’s about it.

Gallagher is one player that I would wager will keep this up into his mid-30s. He's a gym rat and he has proven he will give it his all every shift. I agree with the general logic behind not signing players on the wrong side of 30 to long-term deals however Gallagher is one I'd gamble on.
That said, I'd also take a king's ransom for him if someone offered.

A perimeter player like Pacioretty who has a better shot and wheels is already in decline heading into his biggest payday
Players train all year round but most players now slip at 29-30 unless your HHOF caliber .
Sure he could be the exception but its going to be a 7 mil a year deal to offset his salary now .
Your going a bit overboard here
Aho was getting matched unless we were stupid with an insane AAV
Laffs were never going to deal with us for Marleau
There were only 2 legit UFA`S who could make a difference and were not landing them
Dzingal had a career year at 27 and played like shit in the playoffs where it was his time to get paid
Why no 4 year deal at 4 mil for this guy if he is so coveted ? It was reported he wanted to on a warmer climate team but like Jake no home run deal is being offered
Plenty of time to use our cap space when these RFA`s get settled and teams need to adjust
They’re not trading Gally any time soon, and you know it.

Gallagher is one of those guys that every team wants. We're lucky to have him.
