I figured my comment would get a reaction from someone. I was right.
His numbers are not bad:
4-18-22 (-10), 4 penalty minutes
6-10-16 (-7), 14 penalty minutes
Nothing screams “star alert” ….just okay. Seeing that we have so many hot defensive prospects, I think the Habs will have to trade some prospects away in order to land a decent forward. I figured AE would be one of those guys used for trade bait. He seems to be rising, he is young (21 I believe), would be cheap, and could help a team in much more dire need for Dmen than the Habs.
I think having him below the 4 guys I mentioned- AX, MM, JS, and LH-makes sense, and I don’t think many would take exception to him being below those 4…..Jordan Harris would make 5. Thus, we have a surplus. In my opinion, he would be a Better use to trade him in a package.
