carolina needs to add for alzner. he's a pure stud

Alzner is in the AHL. Besides, Habs are getting around twenty picks for Alzner and Aho.

Why does everyone say that Alzner's a good player?

he's elite

he's elite

no he's not

He's not elite but he's extremely durable and teams need players they can count on to not miss time with injury - he played 8 straight seasons without missing a game. That alone is worth Aho, 3 1sts and 4 seconds. Steal for Carolina really, a lot of picks never pan out.

he is elite

Fire Bergiven if he gave him up this easy

he is developing in the ahl

Yeah but he's in the AHL which is doing Montreal no good.
Besides, we've got some good young d-men (Juulsen, Mete, Kulak)

That's a crazy trade. Even though I personally think that Montreal wins the trade, I wouldn't do it as Carolina.

Here's the trade breakdown:

To MTL: Sebastian Aho, 1st rounder, 1st rounder, 1st rounder, 2nd rounder, 2nd rounder, 2nd rounder, 2nd rounder
To CAR: Karl Alzner

alzner is a norris caliber defenseman

yes, it might be too much to ask even for Alzner, you could make one of those 1st conditional on Carolina resigning him to a long-term deal after his current one is up. If he walks for more money elsewhere, Canes keep the pick.
