I don't mind this.

Cue the condom jokes every time he plays.

Also Condon's on a 2-way contract this year. (last yr of his 2 yr deal)
So when we waive him once MM comes back and he doesn't get claimed, he'll just be in the mix in WB.

WRONG!!! Clearly NJ will put a claim on him.

Well, we used to have BB and still got the Hornqvist jokes going on.

They won't now since Wedgewood cleared. Heh. But i get what your'e sayin'.

Once the season does get rolling/Murz comes back, i think theres enough room to carry all 3 G's(i'd have to check the $) with the big club. Something to consider if JR has any inkling of trading MAF this season or a "just in case" type deal.

Yep. It's too bad Bennett is gone or it could have been Horny, Beauner and Condom. I guess Bonino can step up.

With Horny on the team, they're going to need Condon in a big way.

I actually like that they picked up Condon, they were pretty thin at the AHL level in goalies already. I wasn't comfortable with a Jarry-DeSmith goalie duo for WBS this year, I'd be much happier with a Condon-Jarry tandem in WBS. Condon is a good backup, he's a better version of Zatkoff imo.

Although he's likely purely insurance until Murray is healthy, I like to think that a Murray-Condon goalie tandem would be a strong group if Fleury gets traded.

This post gave me a Beauner!

 

[Jag68Sid87]

This isn't relevant at all.

How is that not relevant? If we trade Fleury, we can expose Condon.

No, the point Condon is to not expose something. I'll see myself out.

Did it break yet?

Condon is on a 1-way deal. And if you send him down, MTL is probably going to claim him back.

I thought somebody said his deal was two-way the first year and one-way the second year (this year).

Either way it won't count against the cap if we send him down, we'd just have to pay someone half a million dollars to play in the AHL.

A. The Habs don't get priority in re-claiming Condon
B. Why would the Habs claim Condon? They just waived him because they didn't need a goalie, they'd be in the same exact spot if they picked him back up

 

[66-30-33]

I don't wanna talk about it.

 

[Phil68]

Security.. Because one of the two goalies either fleury or MM will be moved

I believe if Montreal reclaimed him they could send him him down to the AHL.

No they can't, he'd have to clear waivers before he can be sent back down to the AHL. At this point, it's almost as if he has never played for the Habs.

He was on the same team as Semin last year. Can you even imagine?

Might aswell bring back Despres and BB again...Maatta, Semin, Condon, Hornqvist, Fehr, BB, Despres.

You've got to love the protection that Condon provides.

A. Yes, they do.
B. Bergevin like depth. MTL waived Condon because Montoya was better than him in training camp, who said MTL didn't want to have Condon as their 3rd G? Take a second to remember what happened to MTL last season after Price got injured. And it wouldn't be like he would be the only player in our farm team with a 1-way deal.

Edit: Bergevin said in press conference "I was hoping he cleared waivers".

Yeah assuming claiming a back up for insurance while Murray is hurt was also done so they can trade Fleury. I don't think this move has anything to do with trading Fleury and I expect Condon will be waived as soon as Murray is healthy.

Shame that Jarry won't get games in the NHL but a decent pick up
