I think our strategy is a stretch, might be yours. We need to wait for our prospects to develop, not displace them, so many are so impatient. Team building takes time, binman's mess even longer.
How does signing Toffoli for 3 years displace our prospects? Only guy we got that can crack the top 6 is Roy and Toffoli doesn't block him bud.
Team building is going to still happen. But our forward pool lacks quality. The 5th pick won't turn the needle in the next 2/3 years in our top 6. So yeah, if there is no Dach/Newhook trade to be found, I can see us considering Toffoli as small bridge.
I'm assuming you want to stay bottom 5 or bottom 10? Respectful. But I do think this Habs roster moves up and our management wants to move up the standings. I doubt it's going to be bottom 10 and then rocket up to playoffs. There will be picks in the mid range of the 1st round to come.
