dlbalr Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 The Habs have agreed to terms with goaltender Mike Condon on a two year, entry level contract. Early reports say it's a particularly expensive one at that. He finished up his college career with Princeton earlier this year and got into 4 ECHL plus 8 AHL games this season (including 3 AHL playoff contests). The official announcement is coming today apparently. http://www.westerncollegehockeyblog.com/2013/5/8/4312426/montreal-canadians-sign-princeton-goaltender-mike-condon-carey-price-pete-budaj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett's Magnatones Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Why? What does this mean? The deal confuses me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 6'2" goalie with good stats with the Aeros and Princeton. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=123464 Excellent signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Why? What does this mean? The deal confuses me. They're lacking in goalie prospects. This is a goalie prospect. That's about all there is to it. Mayer's leaving next season for the Swiss league so that leaves just Tokarski (RFA) and Delmas in the system.

Helmethead Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 This is why I wanted us to sign Hartzell. Good move nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 The deal is now official (announced by the team about 10 minutes ago), here's my writeup: http://www.habsworld.net/article.php?id=3082 For anyone wondering what his major was at Princeton, it was politics. A good read about a major surgery he had early in his college career: http://www.nyhockeyjournal.com/news/2013/02/13_healthy_condon_a_big_reason.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Decent college goalie, but he's a project before making the NHL. He'll add some goalie depth for the AHL next year though. Wasn't one of my top picks for goalies out of college (outside the top 3). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 and more then likely they'll lose Dustin Tokarski since he'll have to clear waivers.......so signing Condon is a start It's a possibility for sure. The only thing that lowers my concerns with that a bit is that by the time Tokarski will hit waivers (if they're smart, early October), most teams will be set in goal by then. Is he good enough to make a team dump their current backup for? Perhaps, but I think they'll be able to sneak him down. If not, the thought of a Condon-Delmas tandem in the minors scares me greatly.
