Before getting down to business, congrats to the Chicago Blackhawks for winning the Stanley Cup. Even though this ends their 49 year old cup drought, the longest cup drought is still held by the Leafs at 43 years (appearently 43 is higher than 49, who knew?)
Anyways, to the main subject...while I have been in my hole (trying not to go crazy) since I heard about it, I figure its about time I say: WHAT WAS MONTREAL THINKING?!?!
I get that Halak is a bit older than Price, and that his playoff run might have been a one-time thing (kinda hurts to say that) but why would they trade there most proven goaltender? Even if yet were (wrongfully) going to trade for Halak, wouldn't it be wise to have waited until the draft? You know, get a lot of offers.
There is only one thing that comes to mind about this trade.
The only good thing about the trade is that it leaves the Habs with an opening at goaltending. In which case...DRAFT ME Montreal.
Hey, can't blame a guy for trying eh.
Final Playoff Score
BEK: 10-5
MDK: 7-8
