When did Milbury take over as GM of the Habs? What a horrible fucking trade.

With taking Price 5th overall, they clearly don't want to give up on the guy. They should have gotten more for Halak though. Obviously they didn't want to take on contract so they should have gotten at least a draft pic out of it to go with the Prospects or something.
From reading around, Eller is a decent prospect, who will be a solid 2 way player when pans out. If Price plays well next season, all will be forgiven.
Maybe it was a good salary cap move...

I think Price has potential. He didn't get along with Halak so with him out of the way, Price might start to play better because he'll have less pressure. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out for MTL.
I still can't believe we haven't resigned mason raymond yet.
half way through the season Darren Dreger said Mason Raymond will be traded in the off-season.... looks like it may happen. I would do the same if his salary demands are wayyyy too high for 1 good season.

We're more than likely waiting on both the draft day and july 1st for the offer sheets and what not.
MTL fucked themselves badly on this one. Trading the goalie that single handedly got them to the Eastern Conference finals and would've won the Conn Smythe trophy had they gone deeper into the playoffs is a very stupid move by the GM. Not including the part where he doesn't even bother setting up a meeting to ask about his asking price. I can see trading Halak would get you decent prospects + picks whereas Price's value is at an all time low.
Anyways, STL just got A LOT better with Halak as their netminder. With Oshie, Perron, Pietrangelo, 14th overall pick, Backes, Berglund, Boyes, and Johnson, things don't look so bad.

Halak thrived during the Play Offs because of the system they employed. Price had 1 chance in the 1st round to steal the show but couldn't.
However, I doubt MTL will be playing the same system that will have Halak's defensemens absorbing 50 shots per game in an 82 game spread when they already couldn't handle the wear & tear in a shorterened tournament format. This is probably what factored in the Halak deal as I doubt they'll be using the same system and will be looking at a different direction instead.
MTL probably sided with Price because they project he's the better goalie individual to the system. Theoritically, they made the right choice. Realistically however...

Agreed. I believe the system made Halak more of a star than he ought to be to an extent. Price was given a chance in that system too but it did not work in his favor.
Im still on the fence with this trade. I believe MTL could have yanked some better players in return though.
MTL's blueline does look sick though...with Subban, Markov, Gill. I think theyll have a great season coming up.
