It says the habs save a lot of cap space and get a player as "productive" Cammalleri.

And a 2nd round pick.

And they get bigger.


All of the above are things the habs obviously don't need and that fans were not complaining about before the trade.

It wasn't a terrible trade.

It was a good trade.

I don't think it was.

You obviously read Mackenzie's article. There was a lot more to it than the portion you posted. This is NOT a bad trade.

No heart for no heart and marginal prospect for KHL wizard. Seems pretty good.

He puts his body in front of the net, and is a 25 goals scorer. He wasn't my first pick but at his pricetag i'm fine with him. Would have like the 2nd was in 2012 instead of 2013 though...

And a 2nd for a 5th, and much needed significant cap space.

And?

Edit: Oh, right, I forgot that Mcguire could rebuild a team overnight.
- Pecafan Fan

Nope, but Gauthier sure can't and he should not be allowed. I have not judge the trade. All that's being said is Gauthier did not talk to the 23 teams that he would accept the trade.

Kamo is the wildcard. if he comes back over he could be a 1b....

It was a good trade.
- Jayden

I'll stick with, it wasn't terrible. Bourque sucks but you got some cap space for the next couple of years (but I believe Bourque's contract is two years longer).

Assuming you mean Ramo, I don't agree. We don't need a goalie, so it was smart to include him if that is what was necessary.

It was a good trade.

Yes, but remember, whatever they do, people will complain.


I'm not stupid enough to think the habs are going to turn things around because of a move like that. But maybe, finally, they realize their "core" isn't what they need in order to be competitive (especially with Boston in their division) and they are going to find ways to dismantle it and hopefully be better for it in the long run.

2013 is a much better draft in 2nd round

27 goals per year sucks?

Yeah, but 3 million for a 25 goals guy isn't exactly a "problem".

It will be interesting to see if Iginla sparks his play.

One can hope that this is the first step in the admission.

Kamo is his nickname zzzzzzzzzzz

Bourque: Inconsistent
Cammalleri: Consistent*




* now that he's gone to Calgary, of course

- AdamFrench

He may very well do so. But it doesn't matter from a Hab standpoint, because he was doing very little on the positive side in MTL.

- hscesq

The first admission was adding Cole.

The good news is that PG said he made the trade to make his team bigger. That could mean that they will re-sign AK and Moen...
