Well the timing of this makes one think that Price could be gone at or before the deadline.Rebuild time .Sounds good to me
At that price point even if he sucks we can send him to the AHL. Good deal
This was the blind squirrel that found the broken clock thing. Now, let's wait for the other shoe to drop, cause there's bound to be one.
Lindgren should be getting the call in a few days, as soon as Aunty Niemi is dealt.
Maybe can work something around Price and Weber for Talbot, Lucic, Sekera. Obviously more pieces would need to be added.

good signing, he will be Price's backup next year.
Brian Elliot is out for 5-6 weeks due to surgery. Not sure what they're goaltending situation is like. Maybe Habs and Flyers can find a deal for Niemi.
Thought of exactly that when I heard the news about Elliott. Niemi is a nice bandaid for a team that hits some bad luck in the stretch.
The majority of Hab fans are afraid of the other shoe dropping with the deadline less than 2 weeks away with this management in place. So many MB mistakes needing fixing by the guy that made these mistakes in the first place. Buckle up.
Just to be clear though I want to go on the record as saying that this was a good MB move and I don't always crap on him and here is the proof.
Niemi has looked pretty good since being a Hab and reunited with Waite. Looking much better than the other teams he's been on lately anyway. Maybe Waite has him somewhat back on track again.
Bergevin usually gets good value on these types of contracts ... nothing new.
edit: heh, Runner made the exact same point as me above ^

We acquired Niemi from the scrap yard, added a fresh coat of paint and is now looking shiny and bright. We need a sucker or two to visit our used car lot.
Lindgren to Seattle
