Stoty Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Huet has been traded to Washington...... Carrey Price is now #1. Do you think he is ready???? I dunno about that trade!
walleyejigger Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Love Price, i think he can be #1 in the futur but not right now Huet for a 2nd rounder in '09, probbly be a crappy pick, washington will proably better again next year i hope they needed the secon rounder for anohter trade ex: Hossa Lehtonen vs. Ryder 2nd pick & ?????? (prospect or another pick possibly 1st) how bout leafs tradin belak nobody bled bluer than him sad day in leafs nation GO HABS GO
bbog Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 If Montreal needs a backup they are welcome to Raycroft!
Stoty Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Posted February 26, 2008 Ya, I agree. I think Price is the new franchise goalie for the Habs, but I think its a little to sudden. The leafs....well thats par for the course. Leafs management are a bunch of morons. Keep Sundin, and McCabe, have two #1 goalies, trade away draft picks....... wow, I think I could do a better job.
ShaunB Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 My jaw hit the floor when I heard the news. Montreal has had sucess using rookie goalies in he playoffs before. I hope this is the push Price needed to be a little better and hopefully it is not too much pressure for him. But Montreal is totally getting Hossa!
Stoty Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Posted February 26, 2008 True history has been in the Habs favour, I just hope that this doesnt kill Price's career if he isnt a hero like Dryden and Roy were. I agree, I think Hossa is going to MTL for sure. They have a decent shot at heading into the late stages of the playoffs if they pick him up! Its going to be interesting, thats for sure.
Stoty Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Posted February 26, 2008 Ohhh, better watch out for Washington as well now..... Huet and Federov just added.... Ovechkin, Semin & Federov, that could be a dangerous line!!
walleyejigger Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 caps mean business just picked up cooke from the canucks habs 2nd round pick is getting worse and worse
Stoty Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Posted February 26, 2008 WOW, Penguins get Hossa....... Hossa, Malkin, Crosby, Fleury.... Can you say Eastern Conference winners?????
walleyejigger Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 yeah that came out of nowhere, well looks like the habs got punk'd, unless there's a backlog and it hasn't been processed yet here's prayin for jokinen
lookinforwalleye Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 WOW, Penguins get Hossa....... Hossa, Malkin, Crosby, Fleury.... Can you say Eastern Conference winners????? We shall see! The gave up a lot for Hossa, it will be interesting to see how the Penguins plan on fitting all these star players into the salary cap in a year or two. I am glad Gainey did not give up the farm for Hossa apparently Waddell was asking for Higgins,A.Kostisyn,Latendresse and a first rounder which is ridiculous. Personally I was a little shocked with the Huet deal but Price is Gaineys boy. You will recall at the start of the season Carboneau was planning on sending Price to Hamilton and Gainey but the brakes on that. So the pressure is now on Price he has done it at the World Jr. and the AHL level lets see if he can do it at the NHL level.
ShaunB Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 thank god they didn't get rid of higgins, kosteatsyn and latendresse! Even Ryder picked up the pace a little in the past few games. Huet was going in to one of his funks again. I am pretty sure he has never played more than 43 games in a season....and he may have been crap for the playoffs. We have the best rookie goalie (price) and now the best ahl goaile (halak) for the past two seasons. Go habs!!! Pitsburg looks tough now though
holdfast Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Huet for a second round draft? Are you kidding me, that was a horrible trade especially when you look at what Mtl picks up in their Drafts. Huet could of and should of been the least, a number one draft pick for a team hurting for a Goalie. There was only one worst deal than that and that was what Pittsburg gave up for a rentle player like Hossa who will probably go as a free agent anyways. Im so glad Mtl didnt try to get him as it would of cost too much and hell probably be quiet anyways when they play the tougher Western teams.

DanTheMan Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Not sure what to think about it yet, but, thats the way it goes. I personally dont think Price is quite ready yet.Oh well, doesnt matter what happens, what ever we do this year, is all GRAVY anyway!!!!
Mike the Pike Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) Not sure what to think about it yet, but, thats the way it goes. I personally dont think Price is quite ready yet.Oh well, doesnt matter what happens, what ever we do this year, is all GRAVY anyway!!!! I am in total shock I feel like we are on a detour with a very bumpy ride ahead. I agree with Dan not sure Carey price was ready to be the number 1 goaltender in Montreal. I listened to the radio on the way home tonight here in Montreal in English and French it really is the talk of the town where hockey is like a religeon. The city is in shock the media is all over this What I don't understand we have gained nothing from a player that has done well in the past .Yes he(Huet) has been shaky lately but far to premature to trade him there is something we don't know about. Well it doesn't affect my life cause I don't earn what they do. Fishing comes first. Wait till ya hear the Bla in the media Edited February 27, 2008 by Spiel
SBCregal Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 looks like the leafs got more for hal gill than mtl did for huet...wow price seems to play better in the big leagues than he does with the hamilton bulldogs. been to a few bulldogs games when price has been in net, looked WAY sharper playing with the canadiens. theres alot to be said for experience in dealing with pressure when it comes to the playoffs we'll see how it turns out
DanTheMan Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 As long as they score 5 goals a nite like tonight, we should be ok But, how about those SENS???? Dont they look good as of late

Cluck ClucK Cluck Les Canadiens Les Canadians Les canadiens, Cluck ClucK Cluck Les Canadiens Les Canadians Les canadiens Hey Hey Goodbye What do you mean when you say look at what Montreal picks up with their drafts, you obviously have no clue as to what you are talking about!( no surprise here) Lets look at the number one picks of the last few years since management got their act together. 2001- Mike Komisarek 2002- Chris Higgins 2003- Andre Kosteatsyn 2004- Kyle Chipchura 2005-Carey Price All but one is playing in the NHL and making major contributions. Now add to that the following players from the 5 drafts that are playing with the big club, Thomas Plekanec Maxim Lapierre Ryan O`Byrne Jaroslav Halak Mikhail Grabovsky Mark Streit Guillaume Latendresse Sergi Kostistyn Thats 12 players on the big club in those 5 drafts IMHO thats pretty damn good. Now come back and tell me their no good because they are European or they played in Quebec!

SlowPoke Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 The Huet move was a shock to me at first but after thinking about it and listening to the radio hacks, it does make some sense... -Gainey may have made the trade to free up cap space for more trades... Hossa? Richards? -Huet is as good as he will ever be. He's not a 22 yr old player getting better, he's 32 with little upside. -Habs won't do any worse without him - unless Price is injured. There's the risk. I think Gainey rolled the dice in anticipation of other moves and fortunately for Hab fans, he didn't beat the Pen's offer for the likes of Hossa. -Brian
lunkerbasshunter Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 best thing for them was to let huet go in my opionion. Price is ready just like roy, dryden, As a leaf fan i hate that you have 2 great goalies in your system but its sink or swim time for one of them and it will make at least one of them shine! Cheers!
holdfast Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Thomas Plekanec Maxim Lapierre Ryan O`Byrne Jaroslav Halak Mikhail Grabovsky Mark Streit Guillaume Latendresse Sergi Kostistyn Waste of Rations
Jer Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Keep Sundin, and McCabe, have two #1 goalies, trade away draft picks....... wow, I think I could do a better job. What draft picks did Fletcher trade away?...I musta missed something.
Jer Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 We shall see!The gave up a lot for Hossa, it will be interesting to see how the Penguins plan on fitting all these star players into the salary cap in a year or two. I don't think they do...Hossa is just a rental. He'll want at least 9 million come summer time, and no way Pittsburgh can afford that under the cap. Makes for a great team short term...make a run at the cup...never a guarantee though. I think all the GM's are still on a steep learning curve...trying to figure out how to build and maintain a good team for more than a year or two (or a few weeks) in a salary cap world.
Stoty Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Posted February 27, 2008 What draft picks did Fletcher trade away?...I musta missed something. I was talking about the leafs management over the past few years. They have traded away their top picks for the two goalies they have now. And what is to show for those goalies...? Not too much. But then again, why do they care? They are the biggest money making team in the league no matter how poopty they do. Everyone on that team is making big bucks, even though most of them are horrible. And these "no trade clauses" are the stupidest things I have ever seen. I guess it works in the favour of a McCabe, because no one in their right mind would want him anyways. After seeing the leafs basically not do anything yesterday, I hope they finish dead last in the league.
