Montreal gets a Fan Favorite in Dale Weise who put up 30 points in his last season in Montreal. They get Folin who Philadelphia retains 19% on (Byron and him basically swap contracts). Weise is going to the AHL. Folin can play on the 3rd pairing and we can send down Alzner to play in Laval.
Philadelphia gets David Schlemko who was buried in the Minors. but can be a #7 defensemen if he can stay healthy. They also get Byron Froese who was Laval's captain, good leadership for the Phantoms.
I would say this is a null trade unless Weise can rejuvenate his career with Montreal.
Pretty even trade ... i guess. Sad that it never worked out with Schlemko in MTL, though it was a good pick up back then. Well it happens. In the end no clear winner for either team in my humble opinion.
Canadiens get a guy that’s great in the room, and might be an ok call up, and a 7th defenseman for 2 players that would never play for them again. I’d say the Habs win this deal, since Folin>Schlemko and Weise>Froese (both slightly).

I would say Schlemko > Folin. It's just that Schlemko is always injured.
Weise must be jumping for joy right now lol Going back to the only place he ever had success.
Happy to be rid of Schlemko and his contract, you get back Weise’s contract, but by any chances he plays like he did with the Habs 1st time around. It’ll be worth it. If not, bury him in Laval and it’s no biggy.
Any Flyers fans can give me a scouting report on Folin?
Marc Bergevin just fleeced the Chicago Blackhawks two years ago. The trade was: Phillip Danault (who was a number 4 center at the time) and a second round pick for Dale Weise and Tomas Fleischmann. Now the trade looks like: Phillip Danault (who is now a number 2 center), Alexander Romanov (who dominated in the world juniors) and now they get Dale Weise back (who has played the best hockey of his carrer in Montreal). What a difference two years can make for both teams.
Depth final guy meaning depth. They want to start younger guys Folin wasn't letting that happen.
BRUHHH
They got rid of a 28 YO defensemen and got a 31 YO defensemen with an awful contract. I think you are trying to say Schlemko has cleared waivers so he can go to the AHL, but Folin would've cleared.
