Trade Deadline 2014

[XPOFAN]

Get over it.

Montreal also sent the Rangers 2007 first-round draft pick Ryan McDonagh, Pavel Valentenko and the rights to Doug Janik to New York while the Rangers gave up Tom Pyatt and Mike Busto.

Get over it.

could have had perry or getzlaf instead of akos!!!!!!

 

[XPOFAN]

Could have been a contender

 

[DonKay]

To put things in perspective about how bad the market was today for rentals Hal Gill once fetched a 2nd rounder and AKos did also.

vanek a 2nd an an ok prospect only

I wonder if Jaroslav Halak knows who he play for in the NHL right now...

It's gonna be funny to see what Ovechkin says about Halak's trembling hand (circa 2010)

McPhee must have watched that series again and thought to himself "man, that Halak guy would look good here in Washington..."

 

[lecoqsportif]

Heh. The Caps know Halak well...

Edit: Yes, I was slow on the uptake. I had to google Halak to figure out where he plays.

 

[BURG]

Pissed? Naw. I lost my mind. Went on a full blown Habsy rant.

I'm still upset about it when I think on it.

I have suppressed my anger.

 

[budman89]

From what I remember at the time, most people didn't care that McD was included, most people had written him off already.

Yeah I remember I was more choked that we gave up a still young Higgins...

 

[DonKay]

It was a salary dump...Gainey should have taken that contract for on for nothing.

But apparently Sather said there was a bidding war between the habs and another western conference team.

A buyers market this season. Lot's of players up for grabs.

It was indeed a great year to be a buyer.

If you look at the past like last last year and the year before Iginla fetched quite a bit and even Jagr cost a 1st rounder to boston

 

[Krustchev]

Garth Snow turned Matt Moulson and a first round pick into Colberg and a second rounder. Horrible asset management.

Not good at all. He did take a bit of a gamble and must of thought his team would have been higher in the standing.

What makes it an even bigger blunder is that he had Vanek for what? 40 or so games

That's truly a pathetic move all the way

 

[BKerr]

Pavel Valentenko was seen as a prospect at the time. Had a pretty good first season in the Hammer. Habs had prospect from Euro like Thorp, US Kishel and Stejkal... never burst after the draft. Cameron Cepek abruptly end his career with bad injury in the AHL.

Valentenko was included in the Gomez deal too.

You know you suck as a franchise when playing with JT isn't enough to make a player want to stay.
