This makes so much sense for me.
I made this trade on Jan 1st (see my AGM) based on switching similar level players (age, salary, etc.) to a team needing a Dman and willing to give back a big winger.
As a Harris 1 on 1 deal, I can't see a better option. Another less appealing deal was Harris for Pospisil in CGY.
Texier just has a bad time in Columbus. Left the ream because he was homesick and got back only to fell on the 4th line. I'm convinced he could develop better in MTL where he could feel at home. Not only because of the language, but the French community is huge in the city. If he can fix his defense reliability he could become a home run.
On the otherside, there is zero risk about Harris. Does everything right (on both sides), but just doesn't have a high ceiling. He would help stabilize a not very good Dcore. Some CLB fan told me they don't need him because they have depth on the left side, which I laught at because of Werenski injury history.
