Montreal Canadiens fans expected a defenseman trade this offseason. With prospects coming up, the trade of Kovacevic to the New Jersey Devils makes sense. No guarantees for Reinbacher, Hutson, or Mailloux to stick with the team. Who will fill the role as the Canadiens' "seventh" defenseman?

Options include Adam Engstrom, David Reinbacher, Lane Hutson, Logan Mailloux, and Jayden Struble. Struble is in the best position to secure a permanent spot considering his potential and performance.
