I recall posters complaining when the Habs lost Aaron Palushaj.

Carrier > Kovacevic

This board has pretty much planted their flag that the best move was to keep Kovacevic and waive Barron.

Instead Hughes gets a 4th and Carrier.

Habs could have both : Kovacevic and Carrier.

I don't think they need both.

We had Kovacevic. He wasn't that good. If we had both, that means both Xhekaj and Struble are sitting.

And Barron has offensive ability. They needed to be sure that he doesn't have the IQ to be adequate defensively before moving him .

You never know when an injury will occur. Usually, with the past seasons’s Habs, it was very often for very long periods. The way Xhekaj was playing the first 20 games of the season, he was AHL material. Same with Struble when he has to play on the right side. And we never know which version of Savard gonna come out.

Ya still should have held on to Kovy but Hugo corrected their mistake with Carrier so all good

I don't get the big deal with Kova. They wanted to give Barron oe last try and it did not work out they traded him for Carrier and honestly is Kova better than Carrier? Barron's value was at most a 3rd round pick imo so at the end of the day we got a 4th instead of a 3rd and we made sure to give Barron one last chance to prove himself. I really don't get it the whole panic around trading Kova last summer it's crazy

I think it's more about keeping Savard over Kova. Many wanted Savard traded last deadline. In hindsight some people might be wishing something like this:

Hutson - Carrier
Guhle - Kovacevic
Xhekaj - Struble
