As long as he doesn't require surgery then that's better than a broken wrist. Souray played with a cast/brace on his hand when he broke his in a fight.

I think you hit it with all 3 TBH. Lol.
Trying to gauge which one of these fits best...
LTIR is super complex and I think the Habs will still be under even with it. They should have near 3m in performance bonus to pay and once Chiarot returns they will bust the cap. It only work if he is out for the reminder of the season (or MB trade Byron at the deadline to someone else for picks).

Yeah, that was my suggestion, use the Patrick Kane loop hole (soon to be known as the kucherov loop hole)
I really don't think we want Chairot playing with a cast/brace on...I mean, honestly, fully healthy he's "not great", so playing while under 100% isn't a good idea...

Too injury prone and overpaid for what he brings also has like 4 years left on his contract i think

I can see it. Not right away. But, he'll probably come back a little early with a suitable brace.
Still need a D, and move Chiarot to a #5 role.

Honestly if Bergevin doesn't go for Ekholm or Lindholm he's done in the NHL, its now or never for him. Thats a career defining move.

He should definitely go for them but career defining and be done forever is a little too dramatic.

...and that's the issue; will Ducharme play Chairot where he belongs or immediately put him back with Weber??...my worry is no matter how well (or not) Romanov plays with Weber, they will decide to play Chairot over him...

It is not. He's already on the hot seat as of today. Running with Edmundson/Romanov/Mete as your left side for 8 weeks and into the PO is asking to either miss them or get ejected real quick. Ekholm/Lindholm gets the Habs a ticket to the SCF.
Strongest roster ever assembled since 07 or 09, future is now before KK and Suzuki get those big contracts and Gally, Weber, Price decline while on big contracts.
Caufield + Ekholm/Lindholm + a fourth line with speed and size puts us over the Leafs.

So Ekholm is the 2021 Trade Deadline target we all exhaustively talk about to be disappointed?

Where are we getting the 4th line with speed and size?
We have Perry who has size and Byron who has speed ...
Wouldn't mind getting Max Jones out of Anaheim or Lawson Crouse from Arizona. Really need that type of player. We need some physicality and some protection for the kids.
I can see Bergevin getting a 4th line faceoff - winning center too. Probably a vet: either Staal (Buffalo) or Richardson (Nashville). Could also look into Zajac in New Jersey.
A 4th line C is likely a need for the playoffs. No offense to Evans, but we could stand to upgrade there.

I'm still hoping for a Joel Armia for Sam Bennett trade. Habs need more toughness and Flames need a RW.Where are we getting the 4th line with speed and size?

It appears that inter-Canada, it's now 7 days if you leave or enter the bubble (how long Daryll Sutter was in quarantine and how long it was said Chiarot will have to be in quarantine now that he left the bubble). But USA/Canada is still 14 days. Maybe they want to bring that to 7 days for USA/Canada too? Those players are tested every day, it's not like a tourist.
What!? Evans is very good at what he does. He’s deadly on the PK by his tenacious forecheck and same goes at 5V5. He also creates a lot of chances for a 4th line, gives many good hits + pacing for 20 points with 10-12 min/game.
What more do you expect? I wouldn’t trade for a 5% upgrade in the dot over everything stated above. Give me the young hungry guy that wants to prove himself rather than trading a 3rd round pick for a 35yo guy ‘good on faceoffs’.
just my .02 cents

Not sure what you’re watching but Evans creates one chance every like 5 games. He’s not doing much other than doing well on the PK. That line never has any sustained offensive pressure. I wouldn’t trust him to take a regular shift in the playoffs or even to kill of a huge penalty at the end of a game.

Sorry bro. I think you’re being way over dramatic and there’s zero. ZERO chance of trading Caufield for Ekholm. Did I put enough emphasis on ZERO chance? Because I can’t emphasize that enough.

Go Habs!
I know. How's he going to shoot the puck over the glass with a cast on his hand?!
