Rather than comment on the trade itself....
I'm baffled as to why hab fans think we need a game changing goalie right now in year 1 of the rebuild?
During a rebuild you don't build from the net out.
This thinking is so out dated.
Look at teams like TB, COL, STL,
You build up your forward core and put an offense first team together. This way in year 3 or 4 of your rebuild you can capitalize on some of your forward assets and get maximum value in return where otherwise you wouldn't if they played a defensive structure.
Go to YouTube and look at Hughes phone call to Dach during the draft. He said
.."you're going to come here and play some offense"
Habs don't need a goalie right now
They need
1. To get rid of bad contracts in Armia,, Hoffman, Dvorak, Edmonson and Savard ( and to a lesser extent Evans, Pitlick, Allen)
2. Start bringing up the youth in Slavs, RHP, Yolen, Farrell and even Gurianov.
3. Capitalize on guys like this when they're reaching career highs in 1-2 years to obtain positions of need (ie. Goaltender)
