Thread: Montreal Canadiens signed Adam Engström (3 Years / $950,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpsnow13</b></div><div>We say the same thing. I wrote Harris OR Barron gets traded this summer.

Harris is the obvious expendable one. Good stats, no obvious quality. Just a good all around regular season player. His trade return would be limited though.

This is why Barron should be considered as a trade chip. An offensive RHD 1st rounder could allow to get a future top 6 piece.

As for trading Struble, I would keep him at least until he's close to be UFA. He would bring a lot of stability/physicallity for cheap. IMO you keep him until he's 26 y.o.</div></div>

That's fair, I hope it's another Romanov type trade. Whoever you can oversell, do it. I don't think anybody would've thought we could get the 13th overall pick for Romanov, not to mention at the time, he was a fan favorite and looked like he would be a future top 4 defensemen in Montreal.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ste_Catherine_Street</b></div><div>Norlinder was never that great. Habs overhype their prospects. Sometimes ppl just don't pan out.
Engstrom will get top4 minutes in Laval with Reinbacher which is great for him.</div></div>

Norlinder put up 10 points in the SHL as a 20 YO and was one of the best defenders ever night for Frolunda. Montreal absolutely wrecked his confidence the following year and he's never been the same. Now he's playing 3rd pairing in the AHL and looks like a shell of himself. He wasn't overhyped, he was just that good.

Not sure how you think he's going to play top 4 time in Laval

Matheson
Hutson
Xhekaj
Harris
Struble
Enstrom
Trudeau

He's definitely not the 5th best defender there.
