Yannick Weber for Radek Martinek?

There has been some discussion about trading Radek Martinek to Montreal to fill the void left by Andrei Markov's injury. I, for one, have been unsure what Montreal would give up for him. To me, he is worth a third round pick, but the Habs do not have one.

An answer may be found in the player the Habs called up to replace Markov: Yannick Weber. He is 21, has a lot of poise and ability on the powerplay. He needs some pointers on handling bigger forwards and who better than his fellow countryman and former Hab Mark Streit? He would be the ideal second unit powerplay quarterback and would bring youth and talent to our blueline. Of course, he would disappoint his one man Quebecois fan club (see above video), but I will live with that. What do you think?
