   Lyle, while it is true that every team can use a big forward with grit and scoring touch, the need in Montreal is more pronounced than for most other teams.

   8 Habs forwards are 5’10” or less, and then there is Cole Caufield in the pipeline. There is little benefit of getting to the playoffs only to find your roster can’t compete with the physical reality of playoff hockey.

   Another might be the Flames. Just announced that Valimaki has suffered a torn ACL and will be lost long-term. That likely puts to rest any talk of trading Brody. Although something needs to transpire with that roster if they are to re-sign Tkachuk and Mangiapane

     Wow, tough break for the kid. Hate to lose a full season like that when you are starting out on a promising career.
