Go Habs Go
Am I the only one who prefers Barron to Struble and Kovacevic?
We shouldn’t sell low on Barron. He was playing well with Guhle early on.
I feel Struble has been given kind of a free pass. He has the worst 5v5 metrics on the team.
it doesn't matter who any of us prefer, we just have to wait and see what Hughes does, he's a smart guy so I don't see why anyone would think he's going to sell low after he just carried 3 goalies for most of the season.
Struble is someone that I viewed as a possible less Romanov, I was surprised they moved him up so quickly, and I really wish they would stop and let kids cook in the AHL for a bit. We'll see if he can develop his offensive game more and then we'll see how his season goes as clearly some kids struggle in their 2nd full season.
Kovacevic I still don't know much about as I barely ever watch him play so whatever the Habs opt to do with him, he seems like a solid 7th D to have around for cheap for now but at some point clearly between the draft and the trade deadline I would think 1 or 2 D are going to be traded and he certainly could be one of them.
