That package won't get you anything now.
Halak's value isn't on the rise with his terrible AHL performance. Ryder's value isn't looking good with with 2 goals in 11 games (and his goal scoring aspect is supposed to be his forte).
Grabovski might have some value but it's not going to fetch you anything worthwhile.
Package quantity won't always get you quality especially when a those players aren't playing at their best. The only possible scenarios for these guys are team who are giving up on the season and want to unload expensive contracts but even at that point, what would be the point of getting Ryder who's becoming a UFA?
I think we could get a decent player. This same question was tossed up at hfboards.com (where there like thousands of league-wide members) and the replies from fans from other teams was pretty positive. A coyotes fan said he'd offer up shane doan for it. Now, I know that fans arent the GM's, but I still think that GM's can see something in that package -
Ryder - Is a proven and capable 30 goal scorer on a team that suffers with offence. He could be like Cheechoo possibly if playing with a guy like Thornton.
Halak - Showed brilliance when called up last year. Excellent stats, however with only like 11 games played. Probably seen as a pretty good prospect who has a #1 goalie potential.
2nd - welll, its a second round pick.
I can see this package getting us something decent in return, if we trade with the right partner.
-
All I know is that I think it's time to trade Halak Ryder and 2nd for some scoring.

GOO HABBSSS GOOOO
Let Kosty play please Carbo! He deserves a better chance, think about Latendresse his rookie year, went 16 games without scoring didnt get scratched once (i dont think)
-
I wouldn't be surprised to see Kostitsyn on Koivu's right with Ryder on the bench next game.
Yeah, the SHOULD have Ryder on the bench after that performance. If it's going to happen to Grabovski, Latendresse and Kostitsyn it better happen to him; it'll show Ryder that not even the "vets" are safe

I've joined

Higgins takes his visor off....
AND SCORES!~!!!
-
That's it, get Ryder's ass on the bench, Im sick of his crappy play.
Agreed, just awful.
-
wow, good to see kovy score again, but wake up guys seriously.
lets capitalize on this pp heading into the third!!
Oh and about Ryder - I like him, I really do, but maybe we should consider trading him while his value is still decent. I haven't seen anything special about him so far this year
-
Sadly, my soccer will be Monday's at 9 so I'll miss the ends of games.
Isn't the game on Tuesday?
-
-
Yea, they aren't against us, its just natural as Fanpuck said.
However, they can easily screw up alot and some games things really don't go our way, just like in Toronto sometimes.
-
Not much else to say at this point other then GO HABS GO!!!
-
GOOOO HHHHAAABBBBSSSS GGGGOOOOO
Win this baby, lets see some offence out there
-
I went absolutely nuts when Kovy tied it up, soo happy...
Shortly after i was extremely let down to see Kosto (unpressured) gave the Sens a gift...that was heartbreaking.... Although we cann blame Kosto for that, lets look at Carbonneau and ask ourselves WHAT WAS HE THINKING having a player like Kosto out there at that point in time...so painful I want to scream.
Technically we shouldn't expect to beat a team like the sens, but every once in a while you have to steal some games like Florida did to us...tonight was a veryyyy winable game and we couldnt capitalize due to the stupidest turnover one could commit.
-
GO HABS GO!!
Hopefully a big game from Carey tonight, and hopefully a big game from all of our lines
HIGGINS WILL SCORE TONIGHT!!!!
-
Holy man, WHY WON"T CARBO MAKE THE AK46 PLECS KOVY LINE, cmon smokes on 2 and grabs on 3!!! WTF CARBo
Okay enough bitching,
I hope we play good, whywon't dandy play some D instead of boo boo?
Hope Huet can getthe big ole W
I know...For the life of me I don't understand Carbonneau's thinking, but hey these aren't the official lines yet so lets wait and see.
GO HABS GO!!

Ryder? Oh you mean the guy we refused to sign long term? The one so important he will be a ufa end of this season? That Ryder? Teams have been born into the league, became contenders and won the cup in the time it took the habs to get to barely making the playoffs! Hell in one offseason the flyers went from basement dweller to touted as cup contenders!
Don't tell me this god of a GM known as Gainey cant do that here. I thought he was all powerful? If we are crossing our fingers and hoping one day a franchise player will emerge and save the day don't hold your breathe. While we hope and pray, real GMs are out there taking what they need and icing real teams.
Regardless of whether he may end up leaving us next season, how has Ryder not been a factor for us in the past 3 years? The guy competes for the Calder his rookie year, and has had nothing short of a "scoring" season every year on the Habs. He has been the only one on this team who had the capability of scoring 30 goals in a season, and just because we didn't have the talent surrounding him to help him out...he's useless now? If you are expecting him to carry the team on his back your sorely mistaken, but for the Canadiens, he's been a big factor. Your making it seem like he's a piece of junk.
-
Man, I think I'm gonna find a scalper buy tickets for the game, boo Brisebois and go back home.
Coming from the same game who ripped on the heart and soul of the Canadiens...
Anyways, we can win this game, but it's going to be a challenge.
GO HABS GO

He got it today.

It actually looks pretty lame
The best masks are ones that reflect a nickname or a theme. Cujo's looked good and it fit even though a dog has nothing to do with the Leafs, same with Belfour who had the Eagle's. But the Habs goalies always have something similar.
Roy's looked good, and ever since then it has been a blue mask with the logo and some lame airbrush on the sides.
T-Bo had the right idea, a jacques plante tribute. Just very poor execution.
The worst one I saw was last season when Ward put Nickleback with some bad Hurricane swooshes. BRUTAL!!

Goalies now put way to much shit on their masks. I like the simplistic shapes of the 80's like Murray Bannerman, or Steve Baker. Or 90's greats like Patrick Roy (Habs) and Mike Richter

These were actually designed and not just a bunch of bad ideas thrown together.
WTF does a rodeo have to do with the Montreal Canadiens? Why merge them together?
Why not go with one central theme?
How did that conversation go?
Hey Carey what do you want on your mask?
Canadiens logo
What else?
I don't know
Well, what do you like?
I like Bull Riders
Ok, I will put a Bull Rider with a Canadiens logo and throw in some gradients and shadows
Sounds good
Why not just put a raging Bull on the mask? To simple?
Rant complete
In my opinion, it looks kind of cool having "HABS" on the mask instead of some nickname...Its better to represent the team. Also, Price probably doesnt have any cool nicknames so he just decided to go with that lol
-
WWWOOOO ATTA BOY PRICE!!
the higgins/koivu/ryder line was outstanding tonight, and how about kovalev with plekanec?? nobody thought it would work but tonight it looked pretty damn good.
keep the lines this way carbonneau.
-
Very excited for the game tonight...don't quite know what to expect out of Price though, but if Carbo and Gainey felt he looked good enough in practice i bet it's the right decision.
Ruutu is out of the lineup tonight, probably a good thing for montreal.
Tonight is going to be a good one, SHUT DOWN CROSBY.
GO HABS GO

Love the Crosby pic Spidey haha
GO HABS GO

I was at the game tonight...and lets just say we shot ourselves in the foot and let the leafs crawl back into it by making stupid giveaways/penalties, and by not being able to close the game on that 4 on 3 pp in overtime.... Brush it off, its the second game of the season, lets hope they improve for their next game. btw, the habs fans got the OLE going in the ACC...lasted for about 20 seconds but it was cool none the less haha
GO HABS GO (i hate the leafs so much)

it'll be interesting to see what kind of reception Briere receives from our fans after turning us down in the offseason...
