Confirmed Trade: [MTL/MIN] Canadiens trade Brandon Baddock to Wild for Andrew Hammond

[nergish]

Haven't been following the Habs at all. What's going on with Primeau?

Been put in the NHL before he's ready, on the worst team in the league and has been just getting decimated.

He wasn't supposed to be ready this year, it's just we had Price, Allen and Montembeau all injured.

Finally a trade!!!! Someone put Gorton's face on this!

Brandon Baddock sounds like a superheroes name.

One letter from a great porn name

I love the Hamburglar. His run with Ottawa was superhuman.

Hes AHL depth now, but there's nothing wrong with that. I'm always shocked that NHL teams don't prioritize goalie depth more.

 

[Chainshot]

Andrew should start training right away.

Is that for dealing with the press?

 

[HabsQC]

It was either him or Ayres

 

[PocketNines]

Brandon Braddock sounds like some ne'er-do-well grandson Benjamin Braddock and Elaine eventually have after they elope in The Graduate.

Plastics.

 

[ThatGuy22]

Rather have gotten like a 4th or 5th round pick

great league bettman

NBA trades great players and we're stuck trading minor leaguers always

 

[Mugzy97]

Oh yeah the hamburger guy lol. He’s still playing hockey?

 

[Price is Wright]

If he ends up pulling off what he did in Ottawa Montreal can just ship him at the trade deadline for assets.

 

[Stealth1616]

Cue the 30 game winning streak

 

[torniojaws]

Habs gearing up for one of the most improbable playoff runs in NHL history.

The movie about the Cup win will be called "Hamburglar: Back for Seconds"

 

[BLNY]

I forgot he was still playing.--Montreal needed to do something in net

Tells us two things:

1. The NHL caliber backup market isn't great.
2. They don't want someone to come in and steal games.

This is sarcasm right?

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Andrew Hammond has a thing for generating hype. Does well in Ottawa, all of a sudden has one good game in Colorado and people think he's some sort of superhero. Maybe he does the same in Montreal somewhere down the road.

Amazing how much of a trainwreck the Habs turned into after reaching the finals.

 

[Osakahaus]

This is sarcasm right?

yes

very tongue in cheek sarcasm

Nobody would’ve given that

 

[KevSkillz4]

The fact Habs don't pay 2nd and 3rd pick for Korpisalo, it's a pretty good trade sending a AHL player for a G who can play at NHL level and help the Primeau situation, good 1st trade Hughes!

 

[Manhattan]

GOING FULL REBUILD!!!

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

JG getting warmed up for the big sell off

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Finally no one will try to trade Koskinen to the Habs

You seriously underestimate these boards then

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Hammond wants everyone to eat their words who say he’s a one hit wonder,p.

 

[Hostile Offer]

This move should have been made months ago, if Baddock was all it was going to take to secure another goaltender so your future starter wouldn't get trashed night in and night out by a team that rarely showed up to play. I appreciate the press calling out Gorton for not having helped Ducharme/Team, but why call him out at St. Louis's press conference and not in the weeks after Gorton was hired? If Gorton needed 2 months to realize that Primeau was not the right player to have in your lineup, regularly, and should have been in Laval continuing to develop, then I worry that what Gorton and Hughes have in mind for the team is going to put this team behind for the better part of a decade.

I mean it's probably a month or two too late but yes. Hamburglar can be AHL backup level for all I care and he'll do a favour for us letting Primeau get starts back in Laval.

Haven't been following the Habs at all. What's going on with Primeau?

He's very bad, that's what.
