Maybe he asked to be moved after seeing our depth. After next season he wouldn't have a spot to play in our organization.I know we have a lot of goalie prospects but I don't get why we do this if the return is only a 5th....
Still upgraded based on where he was selected. At the end of the day, if a guy like Wedgewood who is a pro goalie is worth a 5th, what should we expect for a 23 year old goalie still years away from the NHL? From an organizational perspective I approve this deal. Chances are he would have graduated after this year. Which means he would have been behind McNiven. Also when does Primeau turn pro? Next season or the season after that? There are only so many spots for goalies to see action unless they play in the ECHL or are loaned elsewhere. Plus there's the possibility that he didn't see himself signing with us with all the goalies in front of him.I know we have a lot of goalie prospects but I don't get why we do this if the return is only a 5th....
I think the problem is finding him work with Primeau and McNiven coming needing the AHL net over the next couple years.This is weird timming return seem low considering Hawkey really step up last year. a 5th round pick isn't a offer you can't refuse, he going to be one of the top goalie in the NCAA is value would only improve...
Lindren, Mcniven, Primeau, Hawkey ... We have no room in the NHL we have 2 spot in the AHL and 2 of these guys are in the NCAA so I don't see why we had to rush a trade right now next year we had 1 spot opening in the NHL and 1 guy in the NCAA... I isn't a bad return it just isn't a trade that MB couldn't refuse...

Hawkey has to option to become a UFA either this summer (see the Schultz loophole) or next.
Maybe MB was scared that he would pull out a Cal Petersen
Habs also have Marcoux, who could challenge McNiven for some playing time in Laval, on a AHL contract.
I was expecting this. Needed to be done. He's going into his final year which means he needs a contract at the end of this year.
NHL: Price, Niemi
AHL: McNiven, Lindgren
ECHL: Marcoux
Where's he going to play?
Even next year if Lindgren moves up you can go with McNiven & Marcoux in the AHL and then Primeau may arrive.
Way too much quality competition & he could decide not to sign with Montreal because of it.
Smart & necessary trade.

Habs have also signed an ex-Q goalie, Marcoux, who used to play for Bouchard in B&B.
Management was pretty high on him when they drafted him. Must have went sour somewhere along the line
