It's a good looking lineup. Trades are all plausible. Tatar on a 1st line might be making more points than Radulov and he is much younger. I would be sad to see Danault leave. I think he is still developping and will be a top 6 center, but it is probably the price to pay for Tatar. I have the same view about Jerabek. I have some doughts about Holland, but I don't know him. One thing I don't like is McCarron, in my view, he is slow, brings nothing offensively and is very average as an enforcer. Mtl needs offence and I think Bergevin is going to promote offensive forwards only. I like Lingren very much, but I think he has the potential to become a #1 goaly. So I would keep him in the AHL hoping he burns the league and then give him a couple full season in Mtl with 25 games a season IOT bring his stats up and then trade him for a top 6 forward or a top 4 defenseman.

All around a very respectable and plausible set of trades. Looks like a good team. I'd honestly much rather Hudon have a full-time spot, personally. Since he's waivers eligible, he should not be 13th man, because he will absolutely get claimed when sent down.

In that case, we can just have Mccaron sent back down and have Byron play RW with Hudon playing LW on either the 3rd or 4th line.
