Confirmed Trade: [MTL/NSH] Alexandre Carrier for Justin Barron

[MMC]

Mfs just giving players away today for some reason

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

Trotz just is not a good gm

 

[Viqsi]

Yikes, no.

Totally different style to Savard and cannot play the crease clearing role that Savard does.

Carrier is an undersized, 3rd pairing defenseman who doesn’t really make mistakes and doesn’t do anything of significance. Can log minutes for a bad team. Strong shot but rarely uses it.

If anything, he's a Harris replacement. But on the other side.

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

Kevyn Adams won’t stand for this wheeling and dealing.

 

[The Great Weal]

But he’s Quebecois so Montreal had to get him.

Yes because when I look at the Habs lines, it's all French guys and everyone else was dumped for future considerations

 

[RoyIsALegend]

If anything, he's a Harris replacement. But on the other side.

This is much more accurate.

Exactly. Glue is yummy.

 

[Romang67]

Back in my day, Carrier for Barron was a respected job

Gotta be some Dune joke in here, right?

 

[Viqsi]

No, no, no. The Habs obviously include non-Quebecois. They just covet every Quebecois out there regardless of need or team fit. Everybody knows that.

You need to take the reins from him. At least the mock drafts you do some fun trades.

 

[Rock Paper Sissons]

Carrier been pretty bad so not going to miss him for the Preds. Barron is much younger and bigger so I guess that’s a win for us. But either way, just a change of scenery trade for both I believe.

Sometimes bigger defenseman take more time to develop so who knows. We know what carrier is though and he’s not getting any better.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Trotz just is not a good gm

Carrier sucks and has a bigger contract. Kind of an overreaction, here.

 

[Bobby Holik agent]

GOOD LUCK BARRON BOI.
Barron got potencial but he has yet to fully being back of being rekt by Trouba.
Just don't die on the ice my man, protect yourself.

 

[Jee]

No, no, no. The Habs obviously include non-Quebecois. They just covet every Quebecois out there regardless of need or team fit. Everybody knows that.

Straight up not true. But okay, whatever fits your narrative.

 

[Romang67]

Some Habs fan was really pissed off at me last season when I asked if Barron was at risk to be lost to waivers this season since it didn't seem like he was progressing like expected.

Guess I should have asked about either waivers or trading him away for a bottom pairing veteran D-man.

 

[cheesymc]

Makes sense for both teams.

 

[Cloned]

If Drury and Trotz made a trade, would there be a winner?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Carrier sucks and has a bigger contract. Kind of an overreaction, here.

Trotz is an idiot. No way he makes a good deal.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Trotz is an idiot. No way he makes a good deal.

Maybe but this isn’t a bad deal

The contract is what I hate about this deal.

 

[BKarchitect]

Carrier is overrated and Barron sucks. I’d rather have Carrier at least there is a baseline NHL defenseman there. I suppose if you squint really, really hard Barron has more upside.

Almost as mad as jets fans were when they were told they’d pay a first for monahan and like it

 

[VanillaCoke]

Trotzy yikes

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Trotz is an idiot. No way he makes a good deal.

Not saying Barron is great but Carrier also sucks and just signed a bad contract. He didn’t make a bad deal here.

I guess you should have because having Carrier is clearly more valuable than waiving Barron or else Hughes would have done that instead.

 

[habs_24x]

Hughes gave Baron away for free.
