A tremendous move for Les Glorieux, a steal.  A emerging talent, French-Canadian to boot, this works.

I mean, this is the trade Vos Canadiens shoulda made at the deadline, but better late than never.  Be bold, good for Bergevin, maybe now he's finally figured it out that standing pat and tinkering with 4th liners won't get it done.

TB was most likely forced into this deal, salary cap, lots of forwards to sign, thought they would go for a d with some NHL cache.
