They actually got a 2nd and Barron. It's not really that great of a return, maybe fair/slight overpayment at best. Barron couldn't even make Montreal's team which had open spots...he's behind 4 rookies on D already.
Open spots? No they didn’t.
Barron could be in the NHL but he’s better off playing top minutes and getting warmed up in the AHL he’s 20.
Savard
Matheson
Edmunson
Guhle
Harris
Wideman
X
Kova
1 or two of these guys gotta go down once matheson is back.
They weren’t adding another rookie.
Guhle is already our best defender so he wasn’t beating him out.
Harris has played 4 years with men and was basically promised a spot to sign with mintreal
X brings factors no one else on the Habs does.
Kova was an obvious depth signing.
Where was barron supposed to play even if he was ready?
