All Playoff talk all the time.

You are taking a contract no one else in The NHL will, that's why. If you think Murray isnt going to exploit that situation, you're wrong. There will be some sort of prospect or pick coming back with Campbell, garenteed. That's if Murray actually gets him and by the sounds of it he is looking for a stud puck mover... well that's Campbell.

Halak's a great goalie NOW, behind a good goalie.

Then Hemlock's reply:

Hemlock wrote:Hahaha, I remember you, myself and others talking about just that on HB. The logic was perfect in that they'd get to this past July 1 with a dozen or more free agents, and if they'd retained Halak, they would have less to spend. It was very devious I remember. It was all about pitchforking Gainey. cool)

So maybe the discussion was on HB.

I wouldn't call him a stud, but I would gladly take him. That deal you suggested would be a good one.

I've always thought he was the better goalie and I couldn't believe a team offered him an offer sheet last two years ago. I said Ottawa should have done so, even if it meant Montreal matching and being forced to pay more than $750/year.

If I had the time and energy, I would go back to the post where I suggested Ottawa throw an offer sheet at Halak.
