Confirmed Trade: [PIT/OTT] Mike Condon for a 5th in 2017

[Knave]

It's good for Pittsburgh - they get something for nothing but Ottawa needed to do this.

I wouldn't put it past him. I certainly don't think he'll be an improvement on either Anderson or Hammond.

Yeah - two guys who won't be dressing tonight.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I wouldn't put it past him. I certainly don't think he'll be an improvement on either Anderson or Hammond.

yah it was all Condon's and Subban's fault you got to draft Sergachev

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Not a great player, I'd put him at a similar level to Hammond. Pittsburgh did well to get a free 5th rounder.

Ottawa had no choice here. You don't piss away your season and NOT make a move when you lose your top-2 goalies. Making Anderson play is not just tabloid fodder, it is the wrong thing to do.

Who knows, maybe Condon will be good.

Anyone got any split stats on his season with Montreal last year? Did he improve as the season wore on or collapse?

Anderson is a big question right now with the family issues. Hope his wife beats it and does well. Condon is the same as Hammond.

Making Anderson play is not just tabloid fodder, it is the wrong thing to do.

I'd just like to point out nobody made Anderson play. It was his wife's decission. Dorion and co never even reached out to him when Hammond went down, Andy and Nicholle reached out to the sens. Nobody forced them

Decent trade for Ottawa, gets a goalie to tide the team over while Hammond is gone.

 

[danielpalfredsson]

People have a misconception. Condon wasn't acquired because he is a great player, or even because he is better than Andrew Hammond let alone Craig Anderson.

He was acquired because the Senators have had to keep 3 goalies up in the NHL in order to allow Anderson the ability to leave at will and not leave the team hanging with only 1 goalie on a game night. With Hammond injured 2 of those 3 goalies were prospects who should be in the AHL.

Now the Sens have been able to send O'Connor down, and when Hammond returns Driedger can get sent down. Condon is starting tonight.

If he ends up being good, it'll be a pleasant surprise. He was the only goalie available with NHL experience that is a UFA next year, makes league minimum, and would cost next to nothing trade wise. That is why they went with him. Other goalies potentially available would cost too much money wise to pay, and asset wise to acquire.

Nailed it. Andy on indefinite leave and hammy injured

 

[WesMcCauley]

Already worth that 5th round pick with the shutout tonight!

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Shutout in his first game.

Crow gonna be eaten

 

[Nucker101]

Already worth that 5th round pick with the shutout tonight!

Does it really count as impressive when the team he did it against has been shutout 5 times in their last 6 games?

 

[Chez Weber]

Condon with 1.000 %SV this season. Habs should have waived Price instead

Shhhh. let us have this.



Also, what the **** is wrong with Canucks coaches. Why was Sbisa out there?

Most of us have given up on trying to figure why this team does the things it does.

Sbisa was on his way to the showers early and got lost.

Ottawa won on merit and goaltending.
