Stop making excuses. We've had poor teams for years now and the club is making money hand over fist.
This is just a BS argument.

Why do that when your seats are full now, you don't understand the way a business works they already have full seats at every game, they already are making a lot of money, if they rebuilt they lose millions that even a cup could not get back.

Of course they can make their money back. Do you think Boston is going to be making its money back over the next few years? Do you think LA is going to be making money back after its rebuild?
Please don't give me this corporate crap about us not being able to do it. Unlike other teams we actually CAN tank for five years and still be profitable. No matter what the club will make money.
I just hope that Geoff Molson was serious about actually wanting to win a cup. Having a private owner is a good thing. Just ask the Leafs.

Like a lot of poster said the habs already have a solid core at each position they just need maybe a 2nd line winger and a number 1 center ( They drafted him this year maybe he will deliver). We have Price, Subban, paciorretty, Desharnais, Beaulieu, Tinordi, Collberg, Galchenyuk, Bozon, Kristo, Gallagher, not too shaby i think.

It's a smart move from a hockey aspect and a money one. Hopefully Molson is a long term thinker and understands this.
Building a strong team will pay off in the long run.
