    The Canadiens have acquired defenseman Jon Merrill from the Detroit Red Wings, in return for a fifth-round pick in 2021 and forward Hayden Verbeek.

    Sweet. Watching the Habs three-game losing streak, I figured everything would be better simply if the Habs had a seventh defenseman who could be a healthy scratch for half the games.

    To he honest, he's an improvement to Kulak and Leskinen (and quite possibly Romanov at this point) so I don't see him scratched.

    They have none, that's why he is a top 6.

    They have Hronek & not much else. He's a veteran stay at home D who has an expiring contract and they are going nowhere this year. Perfect time to trade him.

    Knew he was going to be dealt from the day he signed.

    In Montreal, he's probably a top 4 Dman.

    He's not a fantasy darling but a decent real life Dman. Good shutdown guy and hopefully can help some of Petrys defensive shortcomings. Something Kulak hasn't been able to do due to his own shortcomings.

    Ok. Sure.
    They signed him to help the PK and play with Romanov. That’s it. So he’s a bottom pair guy. Not sure where you got top 4 D from.

    Because he is an upgrade to Kulak, who's playing in the top four. Did you not read my full post?

    And they didn't sign him, they traded for him.

    Sorry - traded for. Thank you. I’m pretty sure they don’t see it that way...

    We'll see, but I won't be surprised if it doesn't end up this way. It might not start this way, but I won't be surprised if by the playoffs, that's where you'll find him.
