Am I the only one thinking this will be good for the Habs in long run?
I was actually expecting this trade. They say: Sell when it's hot and the habs did. They needed to get rid of one goalie, they sold the one who was supposed to be a #2 goalie for the price of a #1. We would have gotten nothing for Price. I also have a feeling that we are missing a draft pick in the deal. Unless they think that the Danish prospect can play NHL next year. He will cost us peanuts. Good for the salary cap.
Let's wait and see Gauthier's next moves!

i agree for the "wait until the next move" part, but i am more curious for the "wait to see for how much st louis signs him for to see what we would have gotten via compensation for restricted free agents.".
If he signs for over 4 million we would get way more than this trade.
if carey price s up next year (like this year), cedric dejardins is not enough to replace halak.

also...i can't wait until next year...because when we don't resign markov it is going to be entertaining. (calling it now)

this move also means that they will most probably sign Pleky...this guy is not good for playoffs, too soft! That I don't like.

i am willing to bet anything that the habs most likely got a better offer than this at the trade deadline which makes it a lose. (for the fans, not the team that raked in an extra 20 mill pure profit then raised ticket prices by over 20% for next year.)
jester
what bs.... Price should have left.

Hope that pleks gets re-signed. He's a more complete player then marlleau just because plekanec excell's on d and pk. As for the trade... Price better play good hockey, if not he'll hear the "halak" chant quite quickly

do you actually watch games that do not involve the habs? I have center ice, and watched quite a few sharks games this year....to say pleks is a more complete player than marleau is like comparing filet mignon to skirt steak.
Marcus007
marleau has everything man
like jay said hes a two way player
pleks is slightly above average at best, and sucks in playoffs... and hes a wimpy lil euro...
