Frost

With Beck and Kidney needing NHL spots next season, i dont see a reason to trade for a 24 year old who isnt elite

Well that depends if Beck and/or Kidney are ready next year. Habs certainly don't need to rush them.... not to mention there is competition for spots all over this line up.

So, let's assume Hughes has interest in Frost..... who I would suggest would be a nominal upgrade on Dvorak offensively on the 3rd line.

Given where Philly is at, and looking at that roster, my thinking would be someone of comparable age of the blueline. I would suggest organizationally that would be their biggest need at the moment - and as luck would have it, the Habs have a few of those.

Something around Frost for Barron as a framework.

upgrading the 3rd line does nothing but get the Habs a worse draft pick. If Beck and Kidney arent reedy then you sign some vet on a 1 year deal

Frost isnt good enough to warrant a rebuilding team to spend assets on him. Only a contender would do such a thing

I think that sort of value makes sense unfortunately given the Habs current injury situation, we are very thin at RD for the next 2 months unless Mailloux shows he can be called up and not only excel but stick for the remainder of the year

I said assume lol.

Frankly I agree with you. But, I do question if Beck or Kidney are ready.
