I am in EDM for the hab game on Mar 6
Chariot was the most overrated d-man we had in the last 20 years. Overplayed 3rd pair d-man who got overpaid to Detroit after that. It shows that GMs don't look far enough when you waste a 1st pick for a guy that produce more icings in a year that the rest of the D squad combinedThat's why you're not an NHL GM
Chiarot has been useful for a LONG time for us, even if some people on this board were whining about him. Of course at the end he was a liability but Savard is not there yet.
Omg lolol Savard is not blocking anybody! He's the only right hand d we have. Spots are there for the taking if Mailloux and Barron earn them. Besides Barron is the one that will be traded.Exactly!. How do you expect Mailloux, Struble or Barron to progress with out any ice time. I love savard. But, he will be 35 in 2025..... He will also be looking for a 2-3 years contract. Signing him for 2 years will be mistake.
agreed. Barron has quickly gone from over-hyped to under-appreciated awfully fast. RD with size and offensive potential are not throwawaysUnless they overpay, we still need Barron especially after we trade Savard.
Good metaphor.That market is drying up faster than a light rain in the desert.
Habs were confident they could get a 1st for him last year apparently.Unless they overpay, we still need Barron especially after we trade Savard.

Barron has the advantage that his cap hit is less than half that of Savard and he's younger. He might actually interest teams more, even if there is stil some hiccups in his development.

Savard will only be traded if Habs are out of playoff contention.We're not keeping Savard. If Barron is traded, it shouldn't be before next summer.

Yes. Likely the only players that would be moved out are players that they don't believe would help a playoff team.But then Barron wouldn't get traded either, no?
Barron could be traded before the season start if he gets outplayed a camp like last year. Habs lose him if they waive him, so they might just trade him.But then Barron wouldn't get traded either, no?

Would you consider keeping Armia if he plays the way he did after resolving his confidence issues?Savard/Armia/Dvorak all gone at the TDL please, the BargainBin DNA purge must continue.
No; I would trade him for sure. Almost 30 y.o. and great timing to sell high. The plan isn’t to pay well the bottom 6 players.Would you consider keeping Armia if he plays the way he did after resolving his confidence issues?

Plus it's good for Laine to have a compatriot lolDepends on the price. If he comes cheap, I would think about it. 6'4" with those hands on the bottom 6 is always valuable. It also depends on how the younger players with bottom 6 upside develop. Gallagher is the one I find there's no room for, whatever the contract is.
Yeah. He's 31. If he has a good year they should offer him a reasonable contract (not long term).No; I would trade him for sure. Almost 30 y.o. and great timing to sell high. The plan isn’t to pay well the bottom 6 players.
The plan is to have a young -cost efficient bottom 6 (elc’s) to afford an elite top 6 (Suzuki , Caufield , Slaf , Laine, Demidov , Dach).
