Canadian: we must continue to blow on the embers of the fire sale

Things change quickly in the wonderful world of sports. We just have to think regarding what’s happening with Canadian (it’s pretty easy, we think regarding full-time Canadian). Just a few weeks ago, we were salivating at the prospect of getting draft picks for Sean Monahan, Tanner Pearson or Jake Allen at the trade deadline.

But since then, clever calculations have made us realize that the Canadian is playing for .500 and more and more people who know regarding it are saying that it would be crazy to trade Monahan since he might promote access barely in the “real season”. The probability of losing him this summer for nothing does not shake these certainties. Even that some would be ready to grant him a big contract for the future, ignoring the intermittency of his production and the fragility of his joints.

Others even propose sacrificing youth to seek reinforcement. It’s as if in the space of a few days, we forgot that this team was rebuilding. You can’t imagine people like that managing a construction site. Plans to live in a house with tarpaulins for roofing and permanent, temporary chemical toilets. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither were the Tampa Bay Lightning.

It’s been barely two years since Jeff Gorton arrived in Montreal and we understood that rebuilding was going to be the way forward. The Canadiens are still missing three or four young power forwards before going there all-in. To give in to the euphoria of a not-too-worse record would be to forget that Jake Evans plays on the second line. It would be devastating for the future.
