wtf
not happy with future considerations but it is interesting how well army is building up this relationship with dubas. Seems like these two can't not work with each other. excited to see where that leads in the future.
No draft pick added is crazy, fleeced
Penns traded PO Joseph high, regretted it cuhz they needed him as they weren’t trying to rebuild, and now they get him back. Not sure how he has been playing in st Lois tho. Obvious seems like not well.
You should make a Future Considerations jersey. I think that would be a fun to wear whenever its involved in a trade.
As a Blues fan, I can't wait to see what number Future Considerations is going to wear.
There are just no interesting trades any more. It's been years.
When have Future Considerations ever turned into anything? I am unaware of it ever actually turning into anything. Thanks!
Is future considerations actually really considered a trade? Ive never really heard anyone actually using future considerations for anything worth anything
Not shocked PO was moved was pretty much the 8th best defenseman at this point and they need kessel to play RD. Probably would have been put on waivers tomorrow if they didn’t find a trade.
Like this mini trade deadline day. NHL needs to make it a bigger deal. Maybe make the window last a few weeks longer to up the pressure. Soccer has the 2 deal windows as well
I didn't like Barron in Montreal. Almost almost every time there's a bad turnover I yell at the TV "Please not number 52 again! Turn around! Yep, there it is. Number 52 again."
Future considerations, legend
From what i remember, Joseph was just okay in Pittsburgh, and very streaky. However, if he can get back to that I'll take him over the disaster that is Ryan Graves any night.
Really though, this is a reaction to Petterson being out for a while. With Aho and St. Ivany injured as well, we're playing the bottom of our defense depth right now, so Joseph really can't make anything worse right?
Man, the Blues couldn't have waited until after the holidays to trade PO Joseph? They literally just did all that promotional content with him and his brother. Seems a little mean ngl 😭
Trotz doing Carrier a favor trading him back to home French speaking Quebec
I think this was a case of the Blues not having room for PO Joseph, and it was either waive him and he could end up anywhere or help him go somewhere he's comfortable with. The reason Kessel was sent down to Springfield when the Blues got Fowler was that anyone else would require waivers. And if Leddy comes back, Scotty P and PO Joe were the only D you could realistically get rid of for purely roster limit reasons. I think if it wasn't for the roster freeze, they would have held onto him a bit longer just in case, but between Faksa's unfortunate cut and Leddy's lingering injury, they need the roster flexibility
I feel bad for Future Considerations. Guy never had time to settle down in one place and even worse, for someone that is clearly highly valued no one thinks he's valuable. Sad really.
I think this is a steal for the Blues. Future Considerations, in my opinion, has been flying under the radar as a promising young prospect. While his points-production might not be very high right now, he seems to be trending in the right direction very fast. It may be bold of me to say, but I think he will have some elite talent by the end of his career, and even lead the Blues to another Stanley Cup.
I was sad to see Joseph walk this summer. I'm glad he's back in black and Yellow
As soon as I say OK, I think the predators are done they continue
Congratulations to THG for being featured in an article in Forbes magazine! Well deserved. 👏
wow, what does nashville see in barron that was worth giving carrier up? as a habs fan, i'm thrilled with this deal. gotta say though, trotz is a shit GM. how does he not even get a pick back?
Barry needs to go
I thought with all that money they spent on Stankos and Marchessault Preds would try to make a move to turn their season around. I was expecting them to try and trade for Matheson. I guess they are giving up already.
As a Habs fan, I really don't know what Barry Trotz saw in Barron to force him to pull the trigger on that deal but I really can't complain
Time for an $11.6 Million salary dump by Vancouver. Unload EP40 . He's dreadful.
Barron has been showcased for so long with little to no results that im shocked we got Carier back for him.
Very similar to the Harris – Laine trade in my mind, just not at the same scale. Don’t be shocked if Struble is next, Mailloux ni
hope Barron can have an occasion to restart his career in smashville
Any chance you could add minor peripherals for dmen? Like hits, shots blocked, +/-? Or even mention that he could be a PP2 fit or a PK player.
I feel like having points up for dmen doesn’t really help at times. And yes I love to hear you talk about them, but it would be nice to have a visual on top of you saying “(so and so) is a great depth dman he can play on the bottom pair”.
I hope your mother’s procedure went well!
Thanks for the video! Interesting trades!
I like PO Joseph as a Pens fan, he is sort of a bottom 3 D, he is best on the bottom pair but can play second pair with the right partner, like when he was with Letang.

Yea we got Joseph back cause there’s some familiarity there especially since Petterson will be on the IR for awhile now. Not a bad move!
Baron has a high ceiling, but was not getting the minutes. At 23 he is 5 yrs younger than Carrier, who was a non-factor D on the worst team…whose major attraction is that he is a francophone.
Canadiens have plenty of huge prospects, so it's good to give Baron a walk where he can keep up his progress to being a productive top 4 D in a couple of years. He is a great skater, blocks shots, can jump in and score, and has been showing lately that he can hit. He has better size than Carrier at 6-3 and 200+ lbs. Pred's win easily.
When I was a new fan, I honestly thought future considerations was an actual thing teams kept track of. Kinda like "we did you a favor with the x trade, now it's your turn"
sadly there is a 5 year difference in age and Carriere seems like a stop gap till the players in Laval are ready and Barron at 23 is too soon to give up on and should have gotten more time in Laval to develop. this might be another trade that Montreal lives to regret.
Damn, trading Carrier hurts. Habs are getting a good player and a good guy.
Bold call on the Nashville/Montreal trade. I think you are right but Nashville is banking on potential and sometime "potential" becomes "reality".
Pens are adding because Pettersson got hurt the other day and in Wilkes Barre a few of their defensemen are out injured as well.
This trade for Pittsburgh just for the end of this season. He will be waived before seasons end
Despite their record, I don’t think Trotz is just going to sell. I think the trading of Carrier is to free up more cap space to go after a center, a position the team desperately needs help at.
I think Carrier has more upside than Barron, go Habs go
shoutouts to the blues for posting winter classic promo with the josephs 4 hours before the trade was announced. gonna miss pojo in the lou 😢
I would’ve taken a flyer on coghlan instead of Joseph coming back but with pettersen getting hurt and then not giving up much of anything why not. Never thought he was good but most of their defense isn’t anyway lol
I like the love to get back PO, I thought the pens should've kept him during the summer. Pens needed the help on the left side, he's familiar with the system looked good the second half of last year with Letang. I hope he bumps Grezlcyk out of the lineup
A video on past Future Considerations trades that have actually had an affect on the acquiring team?
Another awful trade for Nashville
