I still can't get over the fact that Bob McKenzie said there was zero contact between Halak and the Habs following the playoffs. It's obvious Halak would want a pay raise, but even with the threat of him going to the KHL, wouldn't you negotiate at least a little bit? There's got to be more to the story, because otherwise I don't know why the Habs wouldn't make more of an effort to keep the reason the Habs season wasn't an utter disappointment. Maybe it would mean Gauthier would be forced to make some salary maneuvers, but isn't there a good chance Halak has a contract's worth of good play left in him? I mean, there's just as good a chance his playoff performance will never be replicated again in his career, maybe he'll fall back to earth and be merely average, but as Kifimbo said, I don't know why you wouldn't do everything possible to take him over Price, because the Habs simply win with him in net. With Halak, Montreal can feel confident they have a goaltender in net that isn't going to shit the bed every second night.C-Jo said:For whatever reason, Montreal must've known that they wouldn't be able to resign Halak. Maybe he wanted too much, maybe he wants to play in the KHL. Cuz if he was ready and willing to resign with the Habs for a reasonable amount and they straight up chose Price over him... :lol
X26 said:WHAT. THE. FUCK.
This makes no fucking sense at all, getting rid of our best goalie in years for practically nothing and giving the job to a little bitch like price. This is so fucking stupid
Coins said:Eller is fucking awesome. Theres a reason his nickname in the SEL was the Danish Forsberg. As a Blues fan, Im kinda bummed we werent able to fleec the Habs by offering Boyes instead of Eller.

And I'm the motherfucking Ukrainian Gretzky.

SCHUEY F1 said:I'm not sure what to think of this. Money was obviously a factor. Maybe they didn't want to get Jose'ed again. What worries me is the insane fans in Montreal that will go mental when Price has a an off game.
Clockblockers said:I thought they'd at least talk to the agent first and just find out what the asking price would be. I had to read that twice to believe it.
His agent kept posting random tweets when Price was getting the starts. And also demanded trades (him and Halak) during the season. The fact that neither side initiated talks to keep the goaltender in Montreal says another thing.SCHUEY F1 said:Thats true, you would have thought they could have atleast done that. Must have been some bad blood between his agent and management.

Alucard said:Hey guys, let's trade the only reason we made it out of the first two rounds. Sounds good? Great! Done deal!
:lol Habs management :lol

This would have gone to arbitration, because there is no way in hell they're going to give Halak 3.5 or more. And in arbitration, all you do is downplay everything the player did for you, trying to find all his flaws.
Good trade imo.
Oh yeah, I forgot what a horrible season the Wings had.....CrazedArabMan said:Enjoy it while it last's, last year still stings for me...
Alucard said:Jesus Price better show up in the upcoming season.
Hitman said:Montreal fans who are upset at letting Price go need to realize that he really did only show up for a month out of the whole season. Don't be so quick to judge your GM, the Oilers also had a miracle cup run, after that cup run we overpaid so many playoff performers that year that it crippled our team for years to come.
I'm sure Gainey and the coaches have had a good look at Halek this whole year, they probably know how he usually plays, what the fans saw was how he'd play if he killed him self for 2 weeks, but the coaches know it only lasts 2 weeks.
Really? Halak won two cups? Halak played 7 years for the Habs?Solo said:He won't. This is Patrick Roy 1995 shades of awful.
:lol :lol :lolSolo said:A franchise goalie for a bag of pucks is a good trade? This will fuck us over for the next 5 years. That ECF run we just enjoyed? Remember it fondly, because we wont get that far again in the Price era.
Marvie_3 said:Oh yeah, I forgot what a horrible season the Wings had.....
Yeah, must have been a bad offseason when they best they could do was 100+ points and the 2nd round.CrazedArabMan said:Hey, only talking about the off season, not the full season
Marvie_3 said:Yeah, must have been a bad offseason when they best they could do was 100+ points and the 2nd round.
Boohoo. Welcome to the salary cap era. Wings can't win every year.CrazedArabMan said:Not the best when you lose a few good players like Hossa and Hudler and only bring in Bertuzzi, Williams, and Eaves...
Anyways, you won the cup, and you're still angry, relax and enjoy it man.

MPW said:also habs made 18m during this playoff run thanks to halak
fuck this trade
fuck price
fuck our gm
fuck next season

Come on, man, you're just proving everyone right about the silly nature of Habs fans. Today, the trade looks bad. We don't know shit apart from that.
expy said::lol :lol :lol
Also the reason why game 5 didn't go to overtime.
Also relies on the team sucking, meaning getting 40+ shots on net. No thanks. If he can't stop half the pucks shot at him in a 20 shot game, I'd rather not have him... Plus his agent was a dick and the guy himself was asking for trades... he got what he asked for.
You can put them on a pedestal all you want, just stop whining about your "shitty" season.CrazedArabMan said:This wouldn't be an NHL thread if I was not allowed to put the Wings on a pedestal every year, just like it wouldn't be an NHL thread without an epic post by Manics every so often...
