Carrier buys time for the team’s RD prospects to properly develop — contract duration is just right, can be flipped on his last year.

He isn't a journeyman who would accept that role, Jayden Struble is young and has upside, not the type of player you want to sit.

If he can do clean d-zone breakouts it’s gonna be a breath of fresh air

No rush although if a no-brainer presents itself, then you kind of need to pull the trigger. Ideally though, we have another vet coming back on top of the main ask.....imo of course.

From a glance at some stats, looks like Carrier was really relied on to shut down opposition top lines this year. Probably was in over his head a bit.
He'll probably be tasked with doing the same type of job with the Habs, and he will be better equipped for Top 4 minutes than Barron was for us. Barron struggled even in his insulated minutes on the 3rd pairing.
I wonder if Guhle will be his first partner.

Guhle - Carrier
Xhekaj - Savard

I remember him from the other week, lost his stick to a Laine shot on that 5 on 3 and then had to just watch the second shot from best seat in the house. If you can't beat them, join them

If handled properly, him and Savard should be in and out of the lineup
Savard looks more and more like Douglas Murray out there.

I don't think trotz regrets getting as much head as possible in his youth. Look at him now, even a neck wouldn't save him.
Something is rotten in Nashville. Look how Fabbro performed after being claimed by the Jackets (though while playing with Werensky)
I expect something similar in Carrier’s case: returning to being an nice top 4 dman.

Trotz should have Plekanec as assistant. Better have a turtle neck near him than none at all.

He is from my place: Varennes ( South Shore).
His former coach when he was young was Vincent Damphousse's brother : :Martin : ( Varennes's mayor)
You can't fine a better guy than Carrier...a very good person..great personality

I don't see a future with Struble on the Habs, especially if they plan on keeping Xhekaj. Is he still waiver eligible? Maybe send him down to Laval to get more reps.
