[Engels] Habs announce they’ve loaned defenseman Justin Barron to the Laval Rocket and placed forward Mitchell Stephens on waivers. I expect this means Tanner Pearson is soon to be activated and Arber Xhekaj might be coming up to Montreal.

   Doesn’t that mean we’re missing a center? Wonder who they would put in the middle

   3 centers? Is there a chance this means a trade coming up?

   Laval could have used Stephens back but I don’t see him clearing at all

   I’m not ready for them to split up Arber and Logan

   Barron needs to work on his defensive game so this makes sense. Still a great prospect. Side note, does anyone ever get Slaf and Barron confused on the ice ? They skate the same way

   Thank god I was starting to worry Arber wouldn’t be able to afford his rent

   Shakeup after some bad losses makes sense to me, although a bit surprising during a rebuild.

   Good, Barron needs to polish his defensive game, a lot.

   I thought Guhle on the right side was a short term thing, but this makes thing clearer. Barron and Kovacevic have both been pretty poor recently

    Literally the best news I’ve heard in a while!

    Swapping Barron for Xhekaj is what I’ve wanted for the longest time now.

    So, if Barron is out for Laval, does it mean Kovacevic is back on the lineup? Been a while I’ve seen him play recently.
