With Doughty sign for 4 years, Durzi, Roy, and Clarke, LA has a RHD surplus and a lack of LHD defenseman. With Durzi and Clarke already in the NHL, Spencer is likely the odd man out.

TDL 2022-2023. Edmundson is a top 4 defenseman (he played top 4 minute when STL won the cup and when MTL reach the final) that add physicality, experience and leadership to a team who is looking to win some rounds in the playoff this year. I know some comments will say it’s a lot but look at what Florida gave for Chiarot (1st,4th + B prospect) and what Tampa gave for Savard in 2021 (1st + 3rd). Those type of defenseman are critical to a team succes in the playoffs.

Here’s the splash of the offseason. Dubois made it clear he wants to play for MTL and the habs can’t afford the risk to wait for 2024 summer.

This is based on Eichel’s deal to Vegas (Tuch, Krebs, pick 16 in 2022 and 2nd in 2023). Mtl gives an establish player in Dvorak, Barron who’s a good prospect (1st round pick in 2020) and a 1st and second. Can’t give much more than that IMO
