sbhatt Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Not impressed with this one. A second round pick?! Woulda been better to hold onto him as insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAussiePosse Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Not official ... please not official ... TSN's just speccylating now. And the Caps are back in our building in not too long... It's gotta be part of something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyhasbeen Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Kills any doubt in nets. Going with Price. Halak? Danis must be happy as well with this trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might kill doubts as to who's going to play. It sure as hell does nothing to calm my doubts about the quality of our goaltending though.

nhfarber Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 this could be: -picking up a piece that's key to a later trade -clearing cap space to make a larger move -getting something for an asset that the team had a)lost confidence in or b)knew they would lose for nothing at the end of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAKS-AVENUE Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Not impressed with this one. A second round pick?! Woulda been better to hold onto him as insurance. Include it in the Hossa deal. Ignore what it seems like. That second pick is going to Atlanta. It is time to shit or get off the pot with Price. Gainey is not dumb.

habs rule Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Price is now the #1 goalie Halak will back up or Danis will. We were not going to sign Huet after this season so Bob tried to get the most he could for him. While we might love Huet I don't think he commands a lot of respect around the league.

HabsWEST Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 I hope its ugraded to Washington's first pick if Washington signs Huet. But, he is UFA, and he can be signed back, and get a free 2nd pick... Here is HALAK's chance!!! Is Gainey looking at a bigger deal, and a Goalie back? Someone like Roloson??? I hope not... I cant help but think a Goalie is coming back... I would just go with Halak and Price.... TSN panel sure have no confidence in Halak, but more of reflecion that everyone thinks Montreal got to little for Huet and this is a shock... I personally dont think it is that bad a deal......

habscout Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Wow! Not a bad trade. I must be one of the few Habs fans that think Price is not ready yet for a #1 role, but it's been thrust upon him so I have to hope for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be one of the few Habs fans that think Price is not ready yet for a #1 role, but it's been thrust upon him so I have to hope for the best. I'm not sure he's ready right now, but I think he and Halak could really push each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokyohabs Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 If washout finish short of playoffs, I'd think Timmins with that pick might be productive. However, I don't think he'll ever get to use it - it'll be packaged. Anyway, guess Huet told Bob to take a hike during contract talks.

Trizzak Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Considering the goalie market, a 2nd rounder for a UFA goalie is pretty good value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Huet isn't ready either. Accept that Price did carry the World Junior team to gold, and a middle of the road AHL team to the cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I think this is a cap clearing move to bring in Jokinen and Hossa Who knows what is going on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habsfan84 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 What a crappy trade. What the heck is Gainey doing here. Come on a second round pick. Couln't we have at least given Huet to the Lightning or Detroit for a little in return. Very dissapointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
