If its possible to move Tyler Myers at the trade deadline, what would be the cost be to get Kovacevic. Seems like a good Myers replacement just a lot cheaper. Any one know much about him or Montreal's situation?

I would just keep Myers and add another defenseman if Bear goes unsigned. 

[Ballisticsports]

Yeah

How cheap will Myers be?

He could be energized on a good team, better big D around him and limited min. with good coaching

I am not worried though as I trust Mgmt. will make the best decision

With Savard out injured Kovacevic is Montreals most experienced right shot D (with just over 100 games).  He's a defensively responsible bottom 4 guy that has a bit of offensive acumen.   I can't see them being willing to move him right now. At least until someone like Mailloux is ready
