I did a thread recently discussing Mesar:
https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/820731
Trading Mesar for Berggren is a mistake, they are similar players in terms of style of play, and Berggren is almost 4 years older than Mesar (Mesar just turned 20 in JAN, Berggren is turning 24 in JUL).
As someone else mentioned, the fact Mesar is Slafs best friend shouldn't discounted, not because they are friends, but due to their chemistry of having played together for almost their entire hockey lives, up until Slafs draft year... I mentioned it in my thread about him, but Mesar has played (and they were on the same line together) with Slafkovsky for almost every Slovakian international team (U18, U16, U12, etc.), and they dominated.
As for Soderblom, I wrote in another thread this morning that he doesn't overly interest me, not for Barron anyway. Maybe for Kovacevic, sure. Soderblom for DET is a low risk (being a 6th rd pick) high reward player. If MTL were to send Barron for him (which is definitely selling low on Barron), Soderblom becomes a high risk (due to the cost to acquire him) high reward player. and nobody would be satisfied Soderblom essentially becoming a McCarron 2.0, after sending a 1st rd quality player (which he still is) in Barron.
Just because Reinbacher and Mailloux are above Barron on the RD depth chart in the eyes of Habs fans, shouldn't automatically mean Barron is available at a discounted price... The guy still put up almost 30pts in 87 career NHL games... He's very much still a top4 potential Dman...
