TSN: Kassian for Scrivens

[deandebean]

Wow, not impressed. Stoooopid trade. If that's his band aid, Houston, we have a problem.

 

[Boardish]

So I guess Scrivens will magically transform into a .920 goalie. Otherwise it's not a normal Bergevin trade. What the actual ****? I do have faith in the actual management.

I seriously don't undestand. Condon is a way better goaltender. What a ****** asset management.


FFS.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Just wait until Kassian gets paired with McDavid...

 

[Justin11]

If he's able to move Kassian for Scrivens, I'm sure he'll be able to get DD out of here soon.

This only means good things.

Don't hold your breath on this.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

This is *********. Get a goalie about a month too late. Could have had Khudobin for free.

Khudobin didn't come for free. He comes with a $2,5m salary and cap hit. I would prefer to put any money available on a top 6 forward. This balances everything out cap wise for us.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Stupid.

I think the goal is not necessarily to replace Condon, but to make sure not to have to play Tokarski. And to be able to not give Condon a real starter load which he can't handle.

 

[Habser]

Well this helps nothing... dumb move.

 

[Justin11]

well, people wanted a trade, right? here we got one.

 

[blarneylad]

Well this helps nothing... dumb move.

It got rid of Kassian.

Its one trade. Bergevin can make another still.

 

[Whitesnake]

I was expecting something like this. We add 0.5M on the cap... for a guy who may or may not be better than Tokarski/Condon. Meh..

EDIT:

With the oilers retaining 25% of the cap hit, this comes out to about the same thing. This is a good trade for us considering we had thrown the towel on Kassian anyway.

Not better than Tokarski and Condon? Forget it man...not better than Pasquale. Not only Bergevin was late but he acquires a bad goalie. What a stupid move....

 

[expy]

Don't hold your breath on this.

Always hoping the day will come.

If it doesn't happen, we won't be winning a cup unfortunately.

Oh well.

 

[korky00]

Doesnt explain why they moved barberio up though!

 

[Luigi Habs]

Condon has proven to be a more capable backup. We traded for a goalie who was sent down to the AHL by the worst team of the past 5 years FFS!

 

[Bryson]

Suppose your right.. Its early still just cranky

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Hilarious... MT managed to convince this idiot GM that they are losing because of goaltending.

He just buys into whatever the moron coach says.

Statements like that are so ridiculous.

We didn't want Kassian around anymore. We didn't think Tokarski could play in the NHL and help Condon shoulder the load.

Both of the above have nothing to do with MT, or our other problems. This trade is not the solution. No one sees it as such except those with an agenda they're trying to push.

 

[Plekaturtlenec]

This is likely part of a bigger trade.

 

[Compile]

Nice. We address a few needs here.
1)To many physical players on the Habs.
2)To many players over 6'.
3)To many RWers
4)Not enough AHL caliber goalies.

Well done MB.

 

[Wats]

Well this helps nothing... dumb move.

Helps the tank. Scrivens learned from the best (Leafs/Oilers).

This is a good year to tank with the new lottery rules.

 

[Whitesnake]

Khudobin didn't come for free. He comes with a $2,5m salary and cap hit. I would prefer to put any money available on a top 6 forward. This balances everything out cap wise for us.

But he comes with STOPPING PUCKS too. And what would that mean to have to take that salary? It would mean to work harder to try to trade Gilbert at the time or make other moves.....but Bergevin didn't feel it was needed until......he shipped Kassian for a worst goalie than Pasquale today.

 

[Garry Valk]

Agree. We have 9 D on roster right now. Something has got to give.

Probably gonna send Carr down.

Only way I might make sense of it.

Subban is converting to RW.
