The Gudas trade was a completely different situation. He was injured and basically a good throw in as TB was looking for help for playoffs.

Scouting report...''aggressive'' defender:
http://forecaster.thehockeynews.com/player/9028
I like the fact that he already has 26 playoff games (and is only 23yrs young). He played 10-12minutes/game during the Stanley Cup Finals for Tampa?? I'm hoping he has chemistry with a healthy-Markov (or Emelin? or anyone else!?)...and if Nesterov can play on the RIGHT SIDE...that would be a bonus...can he play on the RIGHT side?! And, he recently got 6pts in his last 8 games with Tampa...was he a forward or dman when he got these points?! Thanks.
Cheers
Playoffs:
Emelin - Weber
Beaulieu - Petry
Markov - Pateryn/Nesterov
Nesterov
Redmond

Pateryn is much better defensively. Nesterov should be the 7th for now in the hope his hockey IQ gets better.
Pateryn is tall/big/tough/rugged...good for protecting our goalies...good shot, but...I thought he still can improve (at times) his defensive game.
Nesterov has 26 playoff games and CUP Finals' games, so that's good for playoff experience, but Pateryn is also due for many playoff games...he's very gritty, so he could be a good/tough #6 playoff dman.

Coach Therrien seems to hold a grudge against Pateryn (for whatever unknown reasons), so I see Nesterov become a regular on the right of the 3rd pair...
...until he makes a major mistake leading to a goal. Then Pateryn will take his spot on the right of the 3rd pair...

The Therrien loop at its finest.
Pateryn is big and tall thats about it, if he was tough and rugged we wouldn't be discussing his status right mow

Pateryn is very steady. He does everything perfectly fine. He steps up well, he has a cannon and shoots a lot. He makes the odd mistake but it's no more than anyone else on the D core. He's a perfect number 6.

Nesterov just scored the 1st goal as a Habs.
This trade has already paid for itself

Absolutely? Whatever we give Tampa probably would never make the NHL.

That was a hell of a shot!
He hasn't looked lost once out there yet.
At least he's not Barberio
That's true, but his partner Markov plays like a number 1. It makes things easier

Markov is still a number 1.
I cant believe how he gets underrated around here. Dude never gets mention in the top-20 dman in the league. He was better than Weber before his injury.

Since Nesterov can play wing what I really want to see even if it's just for one game:
Nesterov - Galchenyuk - Radulov
Markov - Emelin
A Russian 5! When was the last time that was done? Detroit I assume?

Thats debatable. Skills and IQ still top nutch but he has slow the beat. Nesterov is a great partner because his fast and have more energy to spend. Using Markov the way we actually do is perfect. I wish that Nesterov can become an effective hitter and shot blocker.
