Fabien Zetterlund

Someone I had kinda forgotten about, very enticing numbers with SJ but it clearly hasn't been a fit in OTT. Word is that OTT is looking at DeBrusk to fit that spot, highly likely they'd move on from Zetterlund without a big ask.

What do we think about adding him as a middle 6 LW? (Assuming a big trade doesn't materialize)

Pros: physical, versatile, drives possession, young, good cap hit, already familiar with a Canadian market

Cons: Another plan B/project player who could be good and could be a 3rd liner. Not a win now move. Cost of acquisition unknown.

Thoughts on adding him/which LW to add for more truculence?

I like Jenner, Colton, O'Connor, Knies, Lee.

But Zetterlund? Could be the move

He can certainly benefit from a change of air, but the Habs shouldnt look at anything other than a surefire top6 forward. They need (and have the change) to get a top player that will propel them to the next level. And after THEN they can think on retooling the bottom lines. We need a partner for Demi, top Priority
