Strengths: He’s a very strong skater who can skate himself out of tough situations. His shot is an underrated (and also underutilized) asset.

After making a pair of deals in the morning, the Habs continued to add just before the trade deadline struck.
Marc Bergevin has made his second trade on deadline day, adding some depth to their forward group.
Last year, the Habs made a big move just prior to the 3:00 PM EST trade deadline.
The Habs stepped up their play this past week, playing a trio of strong games to extend their lead atop the Eastern Conference.
Since taking over as GM, Marc Bergevin has been steadfast in his opinion that a team can never have too many defencemen.
Earlier this week, Marc Bergevin made a trade to change up the look of Montreal’s forwards by dealing away Jiri Sekac for more grit in Devante Smith-Pelly.
Tuesday’s trade of Jiri Sekac for Devante Smith-Pelly caught everyone off guard.
The trade deadline is now less than a week away and it’s expected that GM Marc Bergevin will still look to add another player or two to the mix after making a move up front on Tuesday.
Strengths: A very strong physical player who is strong on his feet. Despite being a heavier player, he’s a good skater as well.
