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

[Alienblood]

What ummm......... What is Nashville doing? and why are they doing it?

Next trade David Kampf for ROR at 50% retained.

No I don't actually mean that, that's not going to happen.

But WOW Trotz is VERY VERY NOT good at his job.

O'Reilly doesn't want to play for the Leafs. He already said there are 4 or 5 guys there that will never win.

HF's strange delusion continues. Tell me, how many Québecois play for Montreal right now?

Not enough!

Barron was mistake for Habs. Lekhonen was good hockey player

The cornerstone trade both these teams need to finally change their season

I think the Preds are trying to out tank the Habs.

Smart move by the Preds here.

Carrie's a pretty solid defenseman, not overly big but feisty and can move the puck. All Preds fans were content with him until he essentially became the #3D, which was a too big of a role for him. That and his deal was overpaid as well.

That being said, I think this is a move to clear some cap for the Preds.

Yeh ROR knows what’s up.

I read this shit every day on HF, this "joke" is really tiresome and limit xenophobic. People don't care when Toronto or Boston get local kids, they even get praised for it, but somehow french = meme.

The meme isn’t based in any hate of French people though. If it was it would be xenophobic. It’s just a joke cause in the past it seeeeeemed like Habs always targeted and wanted French players. They definitely wanted French coaches right? And French speaking GMs. And I mean you guys were hot after PLD not too long ago.

I used to be able to make this joke and it would be no issue. Sometime in the last 4 years it became such a sensitive topic. I don’t really get it.

Lehkonen wasn’t going to help us tank and wasn’t going to help us compete when the time came. Hughes took a shot on a young mobile RHD with size and skills that showed some glimpses of potential early on but hasn’t worked out to date so moved on for a better fit that facilitates future moves. We also got a 2nd that helped get us Hage so it’s not a fail and even if it was if you don’t f*** up on occasion you’re not trying.

Wasn't Carrier held in quite a high regard once? Haven't followed him a lot lately though. Then again so was Barron like two years ago but turns out he just isn't very good. Obviously the Habs have to see something exciting in Carrier because there is risk in that contract if it doesn't work out, but they desperately need help in defense, especially on the right side, so just based on that I like this trade for the Habs.

He was, but that was mostly when he played with Ekholm. Anyone can look good playing next to him. Carrier's a fine defenseman, just don't expect too much from him. He's a solid #5-6D, with some abilities to chip in as the #4D.

You missed the point of my post.

I think Montreal just wants a veteran who can take the heat when the kids are having a rough night. Once Savard is gone, before this trade, they had a D 23 years old or younger, other than Matheson.
