Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Not the trade I was expecting but maybe they had to clear spots. It seems like Montreal and Calgary are getting comfortable talking trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Well, its a trade i suppose. Always wondered, is future considerations, just a "gentleman's agreement" or is it actual binding deal of some sort? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be nothing or an actual tangible asset (for example, a 7th-round pick if he plays in __ NHL games). In this case, it's clearly not the latter.

Easily an expendable guy at this point. I hope he can find some (probably AHL) playing time in Calgary. He's worked hard for a ridiculous number of teams, I really do wish him the best out there.

Sir_Boagalott Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 This makes me wonder if this is possibly related to what I said in another thread. i.e. they could trade Allen and promote Monty to backup, and keep Hamburgalur for AHL duty next year. ex: if Price or Monty gets injured next year its unlikely that the Hamburgalur would be stolen off waivers. However, if they dont trade Allen and 1 of their Goalies get injured next year and Monty is the 3rd goalie he could be stolen off waivers.

He's a sub .900 SV% goalie, even in the minors and in junior. Teams don't view that as NHL-calibre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Missed this from a couple of days ago but it sounds like McNiven may have originally been part of the Toffoli trade but his injury forced them to split this into a separate move: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
