Confirmed with Link: [TB/MTL] Dustin Tokarski for Cédrick Desjardins

[LTIR Trickery]

Tokarski makes 31 saves for his first shutout as a dog. With Price's performance tonight Tokarski might be the habs number 1 soon.

Hes a good lad. Hope he does big things for the habs. Theres no shortage of heart, thats for sure.

Does this trade mean that Tampa views Jaroslav Janus as the replacement for Garon next season?

I think its wide open between Riku, Janus, Garon and Cedric for the backup spot for nnext year, but as long as Lindback isn't good enough to be a full starter I really hope we reassign Garon for another season.

Tokarski signed a 1 year, two way contract with the Canadiens today. To put that in perspective, the Canadiens would rather Peter Budaj be their backup for another two years than allow Tokarski to be a backup. Seems like MTL doesn't have much confidence in Tokarski.

It's worse than that, because they signed Robert Mayer for 2 years and more money, and gave him the #3 slot in the playoffs last year. Despite Tokarski having played demonstrably better in the AHL last season. Canadiens org seems to have very little confidence in Tokarski at all for some mysterious reason that none of us can figure out. FWIW.

Hate to say it, but story of the dudes life.
