Confirmed with Link: [MTL/NSH] Devan Dubnyk to Habs for future considerations - UPD: assigned to Bulldogs

[hototogisu]

I wouldn't freak out about Price, but I guess this means they didn't exactly trust Tokarski with the keys to the castle for however much longer Price is out.

Preds eat part of Dubnyk's salary in deal to Habs

Preds are eating part of the salary. Makes sense now.

 

[Draft]

Price is out long term or Budaj is traded?

 

[sharks9]

wtf the guy was just on waivers why did we trade for him?

We gave up future considerations which means we got him for free.

 

[Natey]

I always liked Dubie. He was a solid goalie until this season. We have **** depth. Like this move.

 

[Scotianhab]

Why get him for futures when we could have claimed him off waivers???

Edit - Should have read the posts above mine.

 

[Kenny Powders]

I love my habs management with out of the left fielf pick ups. what the flying **** is this

 

[Wats]

So he plays in AHL while Tokarski is up?

 

[lo striver]

he is 6'5". we just got bigger. woohooo.

 

[gusfring]

If Price is out for longer, than we should be sellers, but that would take foresight...

Why even risk future considerations? He was just put on waivers........

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

He's gone at the end of the year, guess its just insurance in case Price can't come back soon. One more injury would've meant Mayer is our backup...

 

[Luigi Habs]

So we can't score a damn goal to save our lives and we go trade for a defenseman and a goalie?

WTF?

 

[Whitesnake]

On the contrary, he stays up while Tokarski goes down.

 

[Habsfan18]

Why the **** doesn't this organization have any confidence in Dustin Tokarski?

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

does this mean Price is out for awhile ? SELL SELL EVERYTHING

 

[Mike Mike Caron]

So we get a player at half salary for free and this place is still gonna explode anyways, gotta love Habs fans.

maybe they're keeping some salary this way ?

weird

patience. is is all planned.

Because Nashville retained part of his salary

"Future considerations" is literally nothing. There's no risk. And Preds are eating part of his salary, which can't be done when you pick someone up off waivers.

 

[Analyzer*]

Wasn't he on waivers?

He can be sent down without clearing.

 

[Habskrieg]

Not, what I expected at all. I agree with TSN. Probably just a last resort insurance in case Price isn't ok.
