Sit Savard?

Savy is a leader, a great teammate and always gives his best. Unfortunately father time is undefeated and he's taken Savy's skating ability away.

 

[Apfle Strubble]

Guhle must be like a caged lion right now. He's a very competitive player and seeing the team rallying for the playoffs like that while not being able to contribute has to be the worst... I bet he's VERY diligent with his rehab lol

Sit Savard?

Absolutely.. his skating is at late career Douglas Murray level now.

The more I think about it, the more I think we should trade Guhle straight up for a young C rather than package quality futures (1st and 2nd round picks) and good prospects (Hage, Fowler, Beck, Kapanen, Mailloux).

Matheson could be extended and would remain a minute-munching top-4 LHD (2nd pairing minutes to limit his exposure against top lines) for the next 4 years with a team-friendly extension.

That would leave enough time for Arber Xhekaj or Adam Engström to mature into a top-4 replacement for Matheson.

Jump forward to past the trade deadline next year, once Reinbacher has eased into the NHL on a third pairing:

Caufield - Suzuki - Slafkovsky
Laine - 2C - Demidov
Newhook - Evans/Beck- Heineman
Anderson - Beck/Evans - Gallagher

(Kapanen #1C in Laval)

Hutson - Reinbacher
Matheson - Carrier
Xhekaj - Mailloux

(Engström #1D in Laval)

Montembeault
Dobes

(Fowler #1G in Laval)

(Fowler #1G in Laval)

Because of his injuries, his value won't be high enough to fetch what the Canadiens would need, even though he's the best defenceman from his draft and one of the best defensive defencemen in his age range.
