Trade Deadline Discussion Part 4

[Monctonscout]

So this is what we did ...basically

Vanek/Weise/Weaver/Dubynuk/ ---------->> Diaz/collberg/2nd

I hope DD can get some time in with Waite as he would be a really nice backup goalie to Price. Think he would be better than Budaj as a backup

Budaj looks better than Dubnyk at this point, hence why he was on waivers and traded for free...

 

[Monctonscout]

Just to clarify, you disagree with the Vanek deal, right?

What does Bourque have to do with the Vanek deal?

Budaj has been awesome since being signed by the Habs, I don't think we could have asked for much more in terms of a backup

As for Dubnyuk it's simply insurance for now, nothing more the Oilers and Preds are paying most of his salary anyways

I doubt it, MS backs the Habs at 17689900%%%%%

Any interest in burrows he can go for cheap

Tinodi + 2nd 2015 should be more then enough

Absolutely ****ing not. No.

They can keep that big mouth. No Thanks

"More than enough", well said.

Nothing, just want you to admit it's a bad deal since you've stated over and over that "rentals" are terrible moves.

 

[gusfring]

That's my point. He stated over and over and not just yesterday that rentals are bad moves, so he should dislike the Vanek deal.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

At the price we paid and the type of player we got back I'd make this deal every year!!!

I like the deal as well... sometimes you have to take a shot.

[DAChampion]

Why?

Budaj is an adequate backup.

 

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

Why?

Budaj is an adequate backup.

He really is, truth be told. 2700 minutes (c.f. Price's 9001 - not even making that up, he's over 9000), 21-13-8 record, 2.35 GAA, 0.914 SV% since joining the Habs isn't exactly under-whelming.

 

[Nitehowl]

Why?

Budaj is an adequate backup.

Yes...but he tends to let in a soft goal or two a game

I just think Dubbie with his size and being a #1 before and with a little help from coach Waite could be a better backup. He is 4 years younger also

You know MOAR big

Here is a little interesting run through of the Habs during trade deadline and the events that transpired.

Habs declined 2nd + prospect for Gionta

Heading into the deadline it was suggested here that the Devils try to pry away former Devil and unrestricted free agent to be Brian Gionta from Montreal and it was confirmed to Murph’s Musings on Sunday that did indeed happen.

According to one source close to the negotiations, the Devils offered a prospect and a second round pick but were told the Habs captain wasn’t available as the deadline grew closer even though he was last month before the Canadiens began to play better heading into the Olympic break.

Basically would have been Gionta for Vanek and in the process improving our 2nd round pick...? Would have been a good return for Gio. Wasted opportunity.

 

[Ezpz]

1 million percent false. Look at what other forwards went for. Do you really think we'd reject what we paid for Vanek?

 

[MTL-rules]

It better not be true or else I'm ****ing pissed...

 

[canadiensnation]

1 million percent false. Look at what other forwards went for. Do you really think we'd reject what we paid for Vanek?

The price may not be true but it is entirely possible that we declined a trade for Brian Gionta.

 

[Ezpz]

How can you possibly believe a source as bad as this that says the Islanders ate Vanek's salary. We got him because we were the only team offering to take it all. Buffalo are the ones who initially took a small part of Vanek's salary.

 

[yianik]

So this assumes that Lou L, Lou L , completely mis- read the market or read it right and was prepared to offer as much as it would take to get Vanek. This also assumes that MB, who apparently was trying to move Gio, would not take a kings ransom offer for this deadline, for Gio.

Don't believe it.

What does 1 million percent even mean? Per cent means per hundred.

you can have percentages over 100.
