that Harris trade is so bad, the habs have significant cap coming off the book this summer, we dont need to trade assets just to dump armias contract.

IF and i mean IF Jordan Harris gets traded its for either:
-A big Profit
-Huston turns Pro

In either case Harris who was coached by both MSL and Hughes growing up and then Captained both Hughes and MSL sons in NCAA .
Well he'll be going to a Real NHL team likely a contender like LAK when he has former teammates Madden and Hughes in the system on a Contender for the Cup.
Thats the type of Situation that Hughes might put Harris in.

More upsides in moving Xhekaj at a Profit then Harris at a loss.
I mean im not suggesting nor do i want to see Xhekaj in any jersery but MTL's
I just think with how injured we are yearly have Xhekaj and Barron can take a trip to the minors and expect a call up after the TDL.
Then the year after we got Savard and Kovacevic we will be moving .
By that point we'll be entering the final 2 years of Matheson after rebuilding his value we'll flip him around this time for a maximum profit.

Then

Ghule-Barron
Hutson-Xhekaj (played RD in junior his LD had career highs and was CHL player of the year. Plus anyone who bumps Hutson wrong gets crushed and warned)
Harris-Mailloux(Mailloux will need the balance Harris provides)
Engstrom

Engstroms the darkhorse here as he's a Athletic Freak who trains with his Pro and Junior clubs daily before doing his personal workouts. Pandemic whipped his already intense Training to a new level and he's now 2nd in SHL rookie scoring behind only the 1st round pick Bystedt and closing in just 4 points out with 7 games left He's still young i mean we just drafted him but at this rate if he continues his pace of Evolution we're going to have to move him or someone else. Given he plays both LD and RD at top levels suiting up for Sweden's SHL team on his RD this past year. He continue's to work on all his weak area's cause he said his Strengths speak for themselves.

I love this kid .
Heard him speaking at the world Juniors and then again more recently when doing an interview for MTL media.
He's got that Arturri Lehkonen super grounded and happy tone where you can just tell he's a team guy first and foremost.
Super hard work ethic and great speed for his size.
Given time to pack on another 20-25 lbs of Muscle he'll be a dominant top pair worthy force if he can transition to North American hockey
