## Resource

Montreal Canadiens are stuck in rebuild mode, desperately needing a reliable second-line center — and patience is their only real option. Trading for stars like Dylan Larkin sounds tempting, but the cost (top prospects) could cripple their future. Young talents like Michael Hage, Alexander Zharovsky, and others are too valuable to sacrifice now, even if they’re not ready yet. With injuries and inconsistency plaguing current options, GMs must resist the urge to overpay for quick fixes — waiting for Hage to mature might be the smarter, long-term play.
