Obviously overpaying is dumb, but I do not see how he isn’t a legitimate resolution for 2C.

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
Your not liking it doesn't mean it's a backwards step.
By definition if you make one year, and not the next year, it is a backward step (and I guarantee if we miss you will call it a pathetic failure)

No, a pathetic failure would be to abandon the plan by wasting assets in order to get a player just to make the playoffs. That's Bergevin thinking and it's precisely the mindset that caused this team to be in oblivion for 25 years.
The rebuild takes as long as it takes. If more suffering is required then so be it.
Fuck the impatient fans and media.
exactly and the team is already ahead of schedule
Why bother helping one area and depleting your prospect capital that took you years to get here
Keep making smart decisions and building the roster

Hage+ for McTavish would essentially be like for like in terms roster construction and not capital depletion. I mean, McTavish is young.
I’m far more hesitant about Reinbacher because it feels like a sideways move that would need another costly roster fix down the road.

Our PP% was 21st last year.
I would not be surprised if we crack the top 10 this year.
I would trade either one for McT. We already have our top pairing RHD for the next decade anyway.

Reinbacher for McTavish would be Sergachev for Drouin 2.0.

Fixed.
Fucking tell me the winning lotto number if you’re that good at knowing the future
No chance , Drubust was a flake
Mac is a legit 2C and a perfect fit and age
One A prospect plus fillers is ok , not moving 2 A pieces for him
I think Hage is a stud and Bolduc will be a top 6 player by mid season , 30 goals is not out of the question
I dont get WTF Verbeek is waiting for to sign him , Carlsson and Mac is a great 1-2 and McQueen is a few years away
They apparently want to bridge McT and he wants an 8 year deal now instead.

Reinbacher is also a stud. I dont want him traded. You're filling one hole by creating a hole elsewhere. And given the league wide interest in McTavish, whatever team gets him will inevitably overpay.
We need to avoid falling into that trap. Patience and sticking to the plan is the way to go. At a minimum, you see if Dach has anything to contribute before considering trades. Let some other team overpay for McTavish. We can grab a 2C during the season or at the deadline. Maybe Monahan again.
Rebuild is over. We are a playoff team now. Next step is win a round, not be satisfied missing. Your expectations have been so lowered you now accept losing.
