I've been on the Hudon badnwagon all year and thought he played pretty good before he got injured. That was bad luck. I hope he can make it back to the lineup - do the Habs seriously think Desharnais, Andrighetto or De La Rose are better than him? I would also rather see Hudon play instead of Carr and McCarron.
This D has me depressed. They need to fix it asap. I've given up on Beaulieu. If we can't package him for Duchene then package him along with Plex for an upgrade.
I agree. I'm starting to wonder if packaging Beaulieu, a prospect and a high draft pick to get a bonafide top 3 dman is the way MB should go? Going into the playoffs with Weber/Emelin, Petry/Markov as our top four scares me.
Okay, so my point is they have an 'open' roster spot to fill with somebody. I was asking whether an injured player was close to returning to fill this spot. Or, they recall somebody from the AHL.
Ek's latest rumour has MTL sniffing around on Alex Burrows. He has 7 goals and 9 assists this year. He could be a decent rental heading into the playoffs... but his $4.5M cap hit is hefty. I wonder if Desharnais and a pick going to VAN gets the deal done? Thoughts?
