Horvat is 29, planning to compete when he is 34 is a bold decision

He's suggesting we dont QO him which is hilarious.
we could tell Hutson to stay in BOS U for his 3rd year to play with his Brother Cole and Eiserman who will be joining them.
We could also suggest Engstrom build on his SHL ECF push he's currently on next year as a top pair guy not just a top 4 guy this time.
Reinbachers the only one we cant risk sending back of the 3 as he wasnt in a winning situation there like those 2

We could easily fit Barron in the next 3 years with Savard and Kovacevic leaving next TBL
Mailloux's close to ready and Reinbacher should take a year in the AHL so he can adjust to his first NHL style Schedule ever.(his seasons are usually over a month ago and start later.)

Barron just needs MTL to trade a Harris or Struble to take care of our log jam
They've been reduced in their minutes on Left by Matheson who eats up 25
So that 3rd RD spot has become the rotating spot for LD's to get minutes

Thats not what I'm suggesting genius. five years from now he will be 27. If he is a free agent then, it'll be as a UFA. Read the f----g post lmao

Hes a placeholder. I think he is gonna be really good in 5 years so this was fair for a mid 20s great second pair imo

Sorry , usually Descriptions of your build are in the Description area that Capfriendly conveniently included so someone can Summarize their builds , but i digress.
You're right i jumped to the comments when i heard Barron for nothing was your idea

Barron had some REALLY Good games for MTL he was sent down to find consistency on Laval's Playoff Run as Barron seems to be a streaky player .
Doesnt mean he is less important as Reinbachers showing he's an Eric Johnson type and damn good at it but he's not an offensive catalyst.
Mailloux will be big but Captain Kony will be we'd move in your scenario as he's an unproven variable who will be just a year younger then Barron
Its like the worst suggestion you could offer marketing a replacement for someone we'll be building up for years for someone who could be Good or Bad but will 100% take time to adjust Barron wont

Captain Kony is great for many reasons but he's also not really an option even if Barron leaves as Engstroms still ahead of him in the RD pecking order for a reason

Its actually even easier for you when its directly under the name of the trade, marking it impossible to miss!

Im making a post for 5 years from now. Barron is an RFA this season. What happens when he signs a four year deal then walks as a UFA because Montreal has a rat infestation in 2027 and he hates rats!!!

Mailloux, Reinbacher and Bogdan are on the right side. One of the four has to go

Barron will be the oldest then and likely too expensive (reminds me of Roy in LAK right now).

We are talking 2029 bro, cmon
