Halak Traded to Blues - CONFIRMED!

Agreed. This is as if Alfie got traded 3 weeks after he took the sens to the finals.

From that playoff run, only Halak, Cammalleri, and Suban shoudl have been untouchables. Pleks kinda disappeared after the 1st round.

Anyways, I'd take this opportunity and laugh at the habs fans. They were all pretty high on their horses during the playoffs.
"we got our next patrick roy!"

I guess this is why we're not in the NHL as GMs because I would have been very pleased with Halak and I 100% would have traded Price, then signed Halak to a $4 million X 6 years.

I also would be overjoyed with Cammalleri, Suban, Gionta, but less than enthused about Gomez and Plekanec. I would have made sure to acquire what I thought would be a good 2nd line center on a SHORT contract for Price - which I guess Lars Eller is, but again, I would have made tweaks to the roster that kicked arse in the playoffs, not trade my number one goalie just because the other nerd is younger or whatever.

word around here(MTL) is people say they saw this coming. i was expecting a little bit more freaking out but it's going dow alright. i guess they are boosting the hell out of eller. he is probably the best prospect they have(not counting PK).
i thoink we're not going to be able to say who won this trade for at least another year. if halak puts up the same numbers & saves next year then we'll see.
IMO price should of gone, he dosen't look like he can handle the pressure.

oh and for the record about Halak being able to stand the pressure... what pressure? from the moment the guy has stepped on the ice to replace Price last year the guy haas been aclaimed by fans. its nothing new. for 2 years now people have wanted Halak to be number 1. it's only gainey(and now gautier) that have made price the poster boy.

i don't know. PK might replace markov one day. if he can tighten his defencive play, he's going to be massive.
