Why not Barrie

If we can’t land Hamilton the habs should absolutely go after Barrie. (As well as Alec Martinez, but he is a LHD, so it doesn’t work as well)

The problem with Barrie is he's pretty crap defensively and the Habs are built around their defensive game. He'd be a great add as a 3rd pairing D that can be a power-play specialist, but asking him to step into Weber's spot is a recipe for failure. Maybe if they went with something like Savard and Barrie, but I think the price would be too high.

I like Janmark, but I think he's more of a fallback option. Getting a solid 20 goal scorer like Saad or trading for a guy like Copp would probably be the better option in my mind, but Janmark would be a solid backup plan.

Hirose is super underrated

Oh I know, he's burning the AHL but not making the jump with the Wings. I don't understand why he fell out of favor in the org, they should've given him every chance to shine while being crap yet they played him six games this year.

He was really good coming right out of college
