Would be sweet, for sure. But with TInordi and Beaulieu struggling to earn a full roster spot, aren't we already clogged down at this position?

 

[chaosrevolver]

I've seen him a few times and I like his game. Big kid, has a good shot and is good in his own end. Not sure how he will translate but I wouldn't be opposed to going after him at all.

 

[Stjonnypopo]

Get 'er done Bergevin.

Exactly the type of player Timmins loves!

Not in the rd position

 

[Hackett]

If the kid wants immediate playing time and less competition, I can't see how Montreal can compete with Ottawa and Edmonton.

Could point out to Schultz say his development path would probably have been better served in a more competitive market

He's right handed so no. We are in dire need of NHL caliber right handed dman. Lets get that swede signed up

He should be able to fill the hole left by Ellis, Pateryn and Nygren. Although we do have Thrower & Dietz on the right who could potentially fill it.

 

[Smokey Thompson]

Yes do it MB!

 

[Wats]

I wouldn't get hopes up, Habs historically have issues luring UFAs that have a lot of demand. However, it's nice to see the Habs involved in talks.

Is there such a thing as too much depth at D?

Plus every quality prospect or young player is a gateway to one on another team.

Well Diaz was a surprise.

Chicago and Anaheim were front runners for him and the Habs came out of no where for him.

 

[Garry Valk]

This would be a coup for MB.

 

[No More Subban]

He is a righty too so it makes sense for the Habs to go after this guy.

He could replace Weaver next season.

 

[Analyzer*]

If we did get him that that might help keep Nygren in Hamilton.

 

[JAVO16]

Our defense will be very crowded next year in Hamilton (Bennett and Thrower coming in) and we will also have 4 guys (Tinordi, Beaulieu, Pateryn and Nygren) knocking at the door of the big club come training camp. I doubt we can offer him the spot he'll demand.

Maybe he doesn't care about getting a spot right away but will join a much better team in Montreal.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Can never have enough good dmen prospects.

 

[Fazkovsky]

He is in his sophomore season and we want him? He must be helluva good , statistically wise he isn't dominant either. Stats are stats though and I havent seen him play cant judge.

WE have a lot of depht on D, lets not forget we also have Dietz and Thrower.

 

[JayKing]

scouting report on this guy from those who've seen him play?

 

[vokiel]

If we did get him that that might help keep Nygren in Hamilton.

Why? Cause they both speak Swedish? That's a rather weak argument if you ask me. Hamilton is still Hamilton regardless of in which language you're talking about it.

Healy is much better when he's not talking about the Leafs.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

6'3 210 RD... we need this guy

Really? It sounded like he didn't have a clue what he was talking about.
