If the 2020 season resumes, it's possible newly signed Alexander Romanov could suit up on the CanadiensMTL' bottom defensive pair. But his potential, according to one NHL executive, is much higher than that. (via EricEngels)

For as much as the Canadiens want to manage expectations — and they have every reason to do that with a 20-year-old kid who’s never played an NHL game — general manager Marc Bergevin has already gone on record to say that Romanov should immediately be able to fill a role on the team’s bottom pair. back on Feb.

It was Millstein who made us aware of Bergevin telling Romanov at a dinner in Moscow that the management team refers to him as “The Destroyer.” And it was Canadiens assistant general manager Trevor Timmins who, on a conference call on April 9, was raving about Romanov’s off-ice attributes. We know the five-foot-11, 185-pounder’s numbers — Romanov scored just one goal and added 10 assists over 86 games with CSKA Moscow — certainly don’t jump off the page."He’s more of atype. At the world juniors, a lot of the GMs and AGMs were comparing him to… they said he plays the way Drew Doughty plays," the executive said. "To hit the nail on the head, the comparison with Doughty is to say Romanov wants to take command of the game.

When we interjected — saying we don’t have much evidence of that outside of the world juniors, where Romanov amassed two goals and 14 points in 14 games over the last two tournaments — the executive doubled down on his assertion.
