Honestly, Montreal has more prospects then they know what to do with. We still have guys playing in Hamilton that I think should be tested in the NHL. That's not a problem for me. The only thing that I don't like about the trade is the contract length + cap hit. But to land a star in Montreal we would have had to overpay for sure anyway. |
I have to say, as a habs fan I'm much less enthusiastic about the trade. 7+ mill a year for 5 years was a lot to take on for a player who just came off one of his worst seasons.
It is true though, there are quite a few promising prospects on the rise, but right now I hope Gainey focuses on getting some defensemen... and maybe Lecavalier.
