The Montreal Canadiens trade for Alexandre Carrier did a few things
TSN: Darren Dreger said the Montreal Canadiens trading for defenseman Alexandre Carrier is costing them a bit of experience until David Reinbacher and Logan Maillous are ready for the full season but it fills a hole for an upcoming deal.
“But in the meantime, if someone can make an offer about defensemen like Savard or Matheson, this gives Kent Hughes to think about that between now and March 7. So Kent Hughes is in a good place in terms of trying to strengthen what he already has.”

TSN: It's easy to connect the addition of Alexandre Carrier and the eventual departure of David Savard. There are no contract extension talks between the Canadiens and Savard's camp according to Pierre LeBrun.
” And inevitably, if the Habs are where they stand, around March 7, maybe a rental trade to another team for David Savard, although I don't think Montreal is in a hurry to get rid of him, because that's the whole point. getting Carrier was to shelter their youth from self-defense, that's why they made that deal.”

“Also, we know what the need is for that greenway in Vancouver. Just trying to find the right fit for the time frame, Geno, I think is the biggest hurdle that Alvin and the Vancouver Canucks are trying to overcome, but they're the buzz around the National Hockey League because as we kick the tires and get in the snow, that's the message we're getting from other clubs.”
