I fall among those who viewed Romanov as one of the more overrated players on the Canadiens. A physical defenceman with limited offensive ability can be more easily replaced in free agency or trade than a large, rangy center who is on the possible cusp of an offensive breakout.Romanov tops out as a defensive #4 dman in my opinion. We already have a bunch of 2way dmen that can replace him or have even more potential. It just hurt that the Hawks used that pick on one of my favorites in Nazar, but we only traded Romanov to get Dach. Even if Dach tops out as a 40 point center, I'd take that over Romanov any day of the week and Dach has the potential to do more.
