GDT: Habs on Tradecentre Part 7 (Who do you want at the deadline/in free agency?) ‎

[Analyzer*]

I guess the Lightning made notice that you can't really have a lineup full of midgets and struggle. Now, they have a good goalie and less midgets to be pushed around.

 

[MonkeyBusiness]

And what if Bishop becomes the starting goaltender they've been waiting for? It might not be such a terrible trade, give it time.

 

[HatTricK09]

Conacher is now Ottawa's leading scorer.

Kind of just like us, Ryder is now our leader in points, tied with Pacioretty

 

[Habsfan18]

A bit of overreacting I think, but I'm quite surprised Conacher was moved.

 

[Brass]

IMO Conacher is nothing impressive. Got an amazing start of a season and has been cold since then. He was expendable.

Maybe a la D'agostini.

 

[Nedved]

Ottawa did not get much for Bishop.

Conacher looked good early but struggled the last month.

they moved their 3rd goalie, and bishop isn't a guarantee.

either is conacher, but his ceiling is waaaaay higher.

And what if Bishop becomes the starting goaltender they've been waiting for? It might not be such a terrible trade, give it time.

That's true. I guess we shouldn't be too quick to judge this move and i'm guilty of it.

It's a wait and see situation i guess

 

[Redux91]

lol like come on, who didnt see this day coming?

i woke up at 2 and theres been like what...4 small trades lol?

god i almost wish i could of seen how boring tsn was, and then again i dont.

it was clear starting last week that today was gonna culminate into nothing lmao

 

[Mrb1p]

Wow Cmon Stevie Y... This is a bad trade.

 

[OldCraig71]

The Sens just took Stevie Y for a ride.

Bryan Murray has always been one of the best and the Sens are lucky to have him. The Lightning on the other hand, not so lucky.

 

[StapleA]

Makes me wonder what's budaj's worth.

 

[Phil Parent]

What if Armstrong's replacement is Danny Kristo?

 

[SB164]

Conacher has been struggling big time recently. A starting goalie can win you a lot more games than a top 6 forward.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Makes me wonder what's budaj's worth.

Huberdeau and 4th

 

[Mister Potato]

Come on MB, it's your turn to make a trade, get us Eric Nystrom while Joe is still the GM.

 

[Tabarouette]

Conacher has been struggling big time recently. A starting goalie can win you a lot more games than a top 6 forward.

would you trade Galchenyuk who has been struggling recently for Ben Bishop?

ridiculous trade

 

[hototogisu]

A bit of overreacting I think, but I'm quite surprised Conacher was moved.

Agreed. I don't think Conacher is as good as his stat line or his ROTY hype.

That said, I don't understand why Tampa keeps trading for back-up goalies or goalies with potential and no track record. Just suck it up and pay the price to get someone proven already.

 

[Garry Valk]

Every team around us has added an impact scorer. Come on MB.

 

[Tuggy]

I think this is a good deal for both teams. Bishop is going to be a good starting goalie in the NHL.

Not sure why people are getting so worked up over this.

 

[Mrb1p]

Mason traded.

 

[Laurent]

So 36 minutes left to sign Kristo if we wana play him this year huh?

 

[Hannibal]

What if Armstrong's replacement is Danny Kristo?

Nope.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Yzerman got Feastered!

Horrible trade. Neither player is a "known" entity but Conacher has shown he can play while Bishop is Ottawa's 3rd string and has proven even less. 3rd team in 2 years for Bishop.

Fisrt Lindback, now Bishop... Time on the clock has started ticking for Yzerman.

 

[SB164]

would you trade Galchenyuk who has been struggling recently for Ben Bishop?

ridiculous trade

You do realize Conacher is a 23 year old rookie right? While Galchenyuk is a highly-touted 19 year old coming out of the CHL?

 

[Hannibal]

Mason to philly.
