Halak officially requests trade

That's true, they're pretty big. There was a cool one of Clouston and him side by each. Did you see that one? He looks pretty serious in it.

I like yours though, it's cool.

Halak is better than Price, IMO. At the moment anyway. I still think Price has been ruined by being in Montreal and being thrown to the wolves so soon in his career. Not sure he'll ever bounce back from that.

Who will they have as backup if Halak is gone?

Sad day for Montreal fans for sure.

I'd ship Elliott and 2nd for Halak in a heartbeat.

That ship has sailed now IMO.

I don't know, but I remember when the Habs hadn't signed him, there were a few of us here trumpeting for the Sens to make a 1.2 million a year offer sheet to him X 2 years. That way the Habs probably wouldn't have matched because you can't trade a guy who you match for one year.

I thought that was the right thing to do back then, political correctness be damned, but...we didn't and we have a guy who's arguable better in Leclaire, so I guess it all worked out.

My point there specifically was that we had our chance at Halak and now we don't really need him. Besides, Halak wants to be a starter - and we have a starter already.

Right?

They could split the games 50/50 or 60/40. We absolutely need Halak.

What are you doing with Elliott then?

That's what I said earlier. Elliott + 2nd round 2010 for Halak. I might even sweeten the pot with a mid-level prospect

"They" as in Elliott and Halak or Halak and Leclaire? Leclaire will be back soon... I don't see us making a move for Halak...

EDIT: I see now what you meant. You're saying Leclaire + Halak > Leclaire + Elliott.

They as in Halak and Leclaire

Gainey says he thinks Halak is worth a second-rounder. Period.

Talk about overpaying for a sideways move at best.

So Elliott to Chicago for a prospect and Halak to Ottawa for a second rounder.

Swirlominoes!! Fun for the whole family I tells ya.

He is playing some amazing hockey at the moment, just FYI . Stole about all Habs' last 5 wins when he was in there.
