When a team is interested in a player, but has doubts, this is the ideal solution. In his most recent piece, Marco D'Amico identifies a few players that could interest Kent Hughes and the Habs.
Here is the list:
Anton Stralman
With nearly 1,000 games under his belt, the 36-year-old can still play 20 minutes per game. The defenseman would be very good at framing the CH's young defense.
In particular, he has been a good mentor to elite D-man like Victor Hedman and Aaron Ekblad, who are quick to talk about the great positive impact Stralman had on them when they were young.
He would be a solid 6th or 7th defenseman, who could bring a lot to the dressing room.
With ten seasons behind the tie in the NHL, de Haan is still without a contract for next season. A reliable, defensive type defenseman is never a no-no in any lineup.
Antoine Roussel
A fourth line player who could provide a tremendous amount of leadership to this young team.
And last but not least :
P.K. Subban
The chances are pretty slim, but why not? It would definitely sell some tickets and spice up the Montreal Canadiens' 2022-2023 season, which could be tough at times.
Why not offer P.K. Subban a trial contract?
