Confirmed with Link: Andrew Hammond Traded to New Jersey for Nate Schnarr

[themilosh]

What a shame. Hammond was good for us. Deserves a shot.

guy is 40 years old ffs... is that you Marc?

They don’t know what’s happening with Price moving forward. He’s there as insurance if Price can’t come back 100%.

I dont want "insurance" against Price.. I want tank!! Allen needed to be traded.

 

[John B]

Not a bad pickup for a guy that didn't have a future in Montreal.

This team won’t be as bad as it was this year under Ducharme so the management will likely be looking to take the next step. They aquired a ton of picks and prospects this year and will be looking to add more substance to the roster. They aren’t going to run with American League goalies all year again. For Allen to be traded, a team would‘be had to offer something we couldn’t refuse. Which I doubt teams were willing to do for 30 year old 1b. Allen can atleast act as a stopgap for a year if Price has complications.

Just turned 34.

Wish we had kept Hammond. Hope re re-signs here in off season.

I'm ready to move both Price and Allen.

Would have liked Hammond to take one of their spots.

 

[Hansman]

It will allow NJ to finish ahead of the Habs and not below.... which is good for the draft lottery !

Sounds like a Sam Pollock move.

If you want to finish dead last next season... yeah... Keep a Hammond-Monty combo !

In the Beddard draft, finishing last would be too good to be true.

Incredible if Hughes is thinking this.

 

[jaffy27]

I don't get why we could not find a trading partner for Allen. With all the teams needing a quality goalie.

no biggie....he's still signed, he will be moved at some point for futures, either in the summer or next deadline. We traded Chiarot, Toffoli, Kulak, Lehkonen, Hammond....I'd say we were at least a top 5 team when it comes to busy....great few weeks, we are as entertained off the ice as we are on the ice.

Now the fun continues as we are in the race for last and the Harris watch is on....fun times

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

They traded Hammond?

 

[John B]

They traded Hammond?

Yep.

[ClasslessGuy]

Guy is already taking a day off i see

 

[Garry Valk]

guy is 40 years old ffs... is that you Marc?

He’s not 40.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Nice gesture by Hughes.

 

[Habaneros]

He’s not 40.

Habs did the Hamburgler a big favor ....1. they pulled him out of the minors....he was stuck down there since 2017-18 season...
Habs gave him enough exposure to have another NHL team want to trade for him...he 'll play the rest of the NHL season in the NHL
with the Devils and this will give him a chance again to showcase himself for a NHL deal next year. If it wasn't for the Habs he would
still be stuck in the minor league ......Habs crease is now too crowded with a healthy Price and Jake Allen....., this is the best for Hammond
and best of luck to him!

 

[Nicko999]

I like it... every trade from Hughes today helps Laval. Helping the team for the playoffs.

 

[1909]

Incredible if Hughes is thinking this.

I don't think so. NJ called him about Hammond and he found the return to his taste. Habs did not need him anymore anyway.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Schnarr played with Suzuki and Hillis at Guelph.

 

[Doc5]

Atleast Hammond’s new pads will work out for New Jersey colours too

fair enough.. I suppose we could "surprise" next year and be a playoff bubble team in which case having Allen is nice.. I cant see Price playing again tbh, so his contract (along with Gallagher) will be a hindrance.

 

[pepperMonkey]

Glad he'll have another chance at an NHL career. I hope he plays a lot of games and wish him luck. He certainly left a very good impression on me. Cheers.

First 31 games nate schnarr 13 goals and 12 assist for 25 points last 12 games 0 goal 1 assist.
