Quoting: Artsy19
Carrier is an attractive target, but he's small and brings alot of what they already have. Kovecevic is BIG
and has alot of what they already have!
He'd be worth the price after looking at this year's draft.
Kovacevic and Ceci are close enough, assuming Kovacevic is ready for more minutes. I personally feel he is, especially if he gets the same deployment (he's 40/60 or worse in Montreal, compared to Ceci's 50/50).
The big differences are size, experience, age, and cap hit.
You can't fix everything, but if losing Ceci and adding Kovacevic allows you to fit another vet 6/7 RHD and a winger for the 2nd line, it might be worth considering.
Might be too much of a risk this close to the deadline, but even if adding Kovacevic is a depth move, you could see what he has to offer and keep Ceci as well, then make a permanent choice in the off-season.
Kulak is similar to Harris and Harris-Kovacevic have worked well together.
