[GoldenSeal]

Their luck Hammond will be dialed in, start stealing games like a maniac and kill the tank.

there's dialed in and DIALED IN

Montreal scores 2.17 goals per game... worst in the league even behind arizona. Thats not a huge margin of error to work with lol

Realistically, I believe that they finish above Arizona in the standings, but even Buffalo is 13 points away right now lol.

Perfect acquisition from Habs to continue their tanking.

Hammond and Hoffman reunited

Tells us two things:

1. The NHL caliber backup market isn't great.
2. They don't want someone to come in and steal games.

If you look at any thread that concerns the oilers, there are lots of great backup nhl goaies available right now

I'm sure if he dials in the bench will be his new friend.

Two things comprise any marketplace: availability and cost.

Called this trade ages ago. Makes sense for both teams.

One guy is a player, either a forward of a defence man, who is always on the ice during his shift. He is especially known for his ability to skate backwards and forwards. When he has the puck he either passes it or shoots it. Or sometimes he keeps it. This is great for the Wild. The other guy is a goalie who is really good at making sure he tries to stop the puck. He is known for his back and forth movement in the net, which is great for the Habs. He really knows how to want win games and overall he usually remains in his own end.

Great trade for both.

i can understand the need for a backup so we can send primeau back down . it is really a very minor deal . i hope that gorton doesn't get rid of any and all toughness in the organization. a team needs guys to stand up for their teammates . you know when kassian runs montembeault . i hope gorton learned watching panarin get his face rubbed in the ice by Wilson that that cannot happen on any team .

Habs gearing up for one of the most improbable playoff runs in NHL history.

That was last year
