Take off your glasses.
Hanzal is a pretty good top 6 center.
McCarron will never be more than an effective 3rd line center with grit.
Well, yeah, as advertised: you rejected reality and substituted your own version. Awesome.Hanzal?
Martin Hanzal?
The 29 yr old who hasn't played a full season in 6 yrs?
The guy who only broke 40pts twice in his 9yr NHL career?
That Martin Hanzal?

You buy moving vans and only date virgins too, right?sell your used car to someone else, I know I know Hanzel is great and was only driven by an old lady from upper Vermont and parked the car every winter as she went to Florida. I don't want your used car.
You forgot the two way play, the size, and the fact that he has consistently been one of the best FO guys in the league. But he's worth a 2nd rounder, ok.
Nobody seems to watch the Pacific

The Hanzal that shuts down your opponent's best player night after night. Pretty valuable in the playoffs.
Deadline: Hanzal(50%)+White(50%) for McCarron+Desharnais
Hanzal is a third line center on most teams in the NHL.
Anyways, we'll see where the Canadiens are at the trade deadline and if Hanzal is serviceable.
Even with the win tonite we got destroyed in the face off circle again tonite. Hansal immediately helps that. Dressing the deal up with desharnais frees up 400000 more salary which I believe is worth close to a million at the deadline. Hab fans would appreciate him more seeing him all the time. Andrighetto desharnais and a first which will be late anyway.
We don't need hanzel
We already have plek
We need a pure offensive 2nd line center
See him more?
When he's on the IR!?
No thanks.
Don't need part time players.
Part time Hanzal is better than full time desharnais
We don't need hanzel
We already have plek
We need a pure offensive 2nd line center
Hanzal would be at minimum an elite 3rd center on any serious playoff contender, average 2nd on some. I'm curious which teams you think have a better 3rd line center then Hanzal?
I understand but you also need to realize, Hanzal would need to play on the third line in Montreal. Would he be an upgrade to Desharnais in the playoffs, probably.
Like you say, other teams might slot him in their second line, so they may have more interest in his services. Right now if we need size and grit on the third line, we can call up McCarron.
Deadline: Hanzal(50%)+White(50%) for McCarron+Desharnais
