Brown is still an NHLer.....Alzner isn't. Can't think of a good reason why long time Californian waives his Pacific Ocean home for the St Lawrence River.

Totally agree. IMO, if this offer is on the table, MTL should consider it, but it's reallly not a perfect trade. In the next year, Domi and Suzuki have good chance to play RW. With Gallagher, Armia and young guys like Caufield and Ylonen, the RW position is stacked. The only good reason to make this trade is for value, which means MTL would try to sell Brown at the TDL for something better than Alzner, but it doesn't make sense.

Habs better off burying Alzner in AHL than adding anything or even if it's a one-for-one deal ....
