Habsfan Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) A couple rounds would help the experience level of the youth it is worth way more than a mid level pick. That,s a very good point. Most of the youngsters on this team have very little or NO playoff experience. 2 or maybe even 3 rounds in the playoffs this year could go a very long way in developping the young players. I'd rather keep huet this year, and risk losing him for nothing come July than trading him right now for a draft pick!

UNless that pick is a 1st or 2nd rounder this draft will be deep. Also you could use that pick in a trade for Hossa or something like that. I would rather have Hossa or Jokinen or Richards over Huet.

brobin Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Trading Huet right now makes no sense. If he walks you get his cap space which is valuable in itself. He offers more to this team than any return for him this year. A couple rounds would help the experience level of the youth it is worth way more than a mid level pick. I am still stunned that we agree on something. We must still be in the loving glow of the recent miracle on ice. Have no fear, I am sure I can argue with you about something in the game thread, it would just be more fun at a bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no fear, I am sure I can argue with you about something in the game thread, it would just be more fun at a bar. I don't hate Huet. I want to keep him, but the economics suggest otherwise. Ideally we could give Price a couple years to take away the job, but in a salary cap world that is not a luxury unfortunately. I think both give up bad goals, I think both make spectacular stops. But I know one is going to be here in 2 years and one will not. I was critical of Roy, so how could I not be critical of these 2? BTW, that miracle did take the fun out of our argument Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, that miracle did take the fun out of our argument Well I agree again with you. You don't like any goalie as they all give up soft goals. Most of our debates over goals are simply because we define bad goal differently. I agree you are usually consistent, you are just a real ba**stard on the poor goalies. You would bitch about a 4 by 6 sheet of plywood for giving out bad rebounds.... I do agree on Roy, he was no where near steady, but he sure could be brilliant, and usually at the right time.

BTH Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I could see either goalie start in our next game but if we're following the "win and you're in" system than Price should get the next start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I could see either goalie start in our next game but if we're following the "win and you're in" system than Price should get the next start. Yup, neither's playing well enough to deserve the job. It's a time like this where I'd like to see Halak, but I don't want Price sent down, so the only way of seeing him would be Huet getting traded. I'm not saying that I want to see him go, but it's looking like he's not really seizing the number one job, in which case he is expendable.

Fanpuck33 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Man, for the first time since I was a dumb little kid, I am torn between rooting for the Habs and their opponent. On the one hand, the Habs are my favorite team, so my initial feeling is to root for the Habs. On the other hand, the Jackets have firmly cemented themselves as a close #2 for me, since I get to follow them so closely. They're fighting for a playoff spot, so the points are absolutely huge to them. I think I'm going to have to hope for an overtime/shootout win for my Jackets, simply because they need the win a lot more than my Habs do.

I would say that the Habs need the points even more because we are in a realy tight battle for first in the Conference. Lets hope for a Habs OT victory so we can give a point to the Jackets.

Getting into the playoffs is by far the most important thing, as once you're in, anything can happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta remain loyal man... I have solid traction, there is no chance that I would cheer for the Jackets against the Canadiens if it was the Habs who needed the points more, or even better, if the two teams were to meet in the finals.

Cmon Brandon Dubinski did last time he started...Rick Nash makes Brandon Dubinski look like men compared to boys...with dubinski being the boy, of course. Also...Fedorov is back...Zherdev is a threat..same with Vyborny...Colombus has some weapons...they shouldn't be taken for granted. We will win this game IF we decide to get our heads out of our @sses and play a full 60 minutes of hockey...no more of this 20/40 crap!!!

There is only two circumstances in my life in which I would ever vote against the Canadiens. 1. Game 82, Clinched a spot with no chance to move up or down and they are playing a team that if they win the Leafs are eliminated. 2. Game 82, Clinched a spot with no chance to move up or down and they are playing the Leafs and a loss to the Leafs would cost the Leafs a shot at the no.1 pick. Thassit. No other scenarios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
