<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MONSTER1974</b></div><div>I think between Mailloux and Reinbacher, we are already set for a 2nd pairing d-man.

However, if KH sees a minute eating monster of a first pairing RD in Reinbacher, then maybe Hronek looks good on a second pairing.

Things just don’t seem to match up well though.

I think we need more of a shutdown RD to play with Hutson, provided we play Guhle &amp; Reinbacher on the top pairing.

If Hutson &amp; Reinbacher are a duo, I’m not sure Hronek is the guy you want on your 1st pairing with Guhle to try and counter the opposition’s best.</div></div>

I agree with the questions that come out when trying to project the future Habs. At the same time, I simply don't believe a team can win in the playoffs with a bunch of 20-25 year old defenders. I think you want a couple of 29-33 year old guys who can keep calm and lead the charge.

While I like Mailloux &amp; Reinbacher's future and believe they both will be really good defenders, depth is important, not just in case of injuries, but in the sense of creating internal competition.

If Reinbacher becomes a top pair guy, let it be because he beat out Hronek &amp; Mailloux (and possibly Guhle) for the job.

If Mailloux becomes a 2nd pair defender, let it be because he beat out Hronek.

If Hutson is gonna be on PP1, let it be because he beat out Matheson...

Personally I would love to see a pair of Matheson &amp; Hronek out there. I think the transition play would be really fun to watch!

Next year we could expect:

Matheson Hronek
Hutson Guhle
Xhekaj Savard
Struble Harris

and we should trade Barron &amp; Kovacevic

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>I don't think the Flames would do it. They will still get a really good player at #9. Anderson's cap hit is what kills this deal. They have less than 20M in cap space and need to rebuild the defence. They also don't have an in open spot at forward on the roster for him really. So the current and future cap implications would kill this deal. Also value wise, it would take more than dropping 4 spots to dump Anderson. The player they might want at #5 could very well be there at #9.
After this season Anderson might be easier to dump to a team as his salary will be lower than his cap hit. This season he makes $7M, $5M next season and $3.5M in his final season.</div></div>

I mean... dropping down 4 spots is different when it's 5 to 9 and 37 to 42. Any rebuilding team would jump at a chance to get a higher quality prospect. This is all moot though because Hughes would NEVER offer this. I mean c'mon, you get like 2 or maybe 3 chances to pick top 5 during a rebuild. You're really gonna give that up to dump a player that you could just as easily buy out?
