Don't acquire Gost for MTL, Habs need a good top 4 LD who can play well defensively and has a decent body frame.
Yes, Gost is good offensively, but defensively isn't. Pairing him with Weber or Petry isn't going to be good for MTL, Weber isn't as effective defensively as he used to be, has trouble keeping pace, and Petry is even worse than Weber defensively.
As for the bigger frame, when games get more physical, Gost will continually get rocked around and he'll be even less effective. That's exactly what's happening with Mete, currently the only LD who can play with Weber in MTL.
