ozweego Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Better not be coming here!!! We already have 2 goalies dueling for ice time, and even if we move Price or Halak, the remainder will still want to be the starter. And I don't think Turks will be ok with a backup roll.

gracie12 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Id be pretty shocked, but who knows. We cant keep 3 goalies on the roster & cant send either halak or price to the minors. That means we would clearly be shipping one of them to dallas - and frankly, there's no one on that team who Id really want/fits our needs. That said, I do expect Gauthier to make at least one "impact" move in the next couple of weeks...I do think he wants to show he's not just "more of the same" as gainey. This scares me because it could potentially be making a move to "make a move" - rather than waiting for the right one to come along, but who knows.

sebchenier Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 *sigh* why? I don't see the point and I doubt he would do that. It's not like it would make the team any better. I believe his first move as the GM will be indicative of what he plans on doing with the team. Whether it's landing a big name like Lecavalier or getting rid of our dead weight for picks and/or prospects, it'll at least show his intentions. Trading for Turco would just be... a waste.

Well, it's possible he's considering trading away one of our young RFA goaltenders to Dallas in axchange for Turco and, most definitely, something else. Turco goes UFA this summer, so he would just be a veteran presence to finish the year with. Which is something a lot of fans have been vocal about Montreal needing. A veteran backup for the young guy. I s'pose it's possible that Dallas would part with a draft choice in exchange for Halak/Price. A first rounder even.

leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 agreed.. with the injuries we have now. we need someone to score.. REAL BAD! I think acquiring some scoring help would be really short-sighted and a huge mistake. If we're considering trading one of our goaltenders to Dallas it should be for a scoring prospect in return or a draft choice. Maybe a top-4 defender. While it's possible we could acquire someone that could help right away, I think it would be better to look towards the future and not this season. Does anyone really expect us to make any noise this year in the playoffs anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone really expect us to make any noise this year in the playoffs anyway? ok jr... maybe i was not quite clear. not really trading a goalie to Dallas or anywhere for right now. but I think a trade for a big player (and I will use VLeC for a sample) like a Pouliot type guy. You know what I mean... But as for the playoffs... we have all seen it.. a hot goalie will win you some games.

Yes, of course if we were to ship either halak or price to dallas I would expect Turco + ______ in return, but to be honest, Im not sure what that _________ is - and I dont really know there's anyone there i'd want. All of their "good-to-great" players are older and Im not sure Id be willing to give up on Price or Halak for a prospect - even a top one - like Benn, Glennie or Larson. I suppose if the deal were: Price for Turco Neal Larson Id bite not sure Dallas would. My guess is that if you could wait until draft day/summer, you could arguably get a top quality young player who has already established himself to an extent for Price. Trading one of these guys now has to be a mistake imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynch_mtl Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 The only way I would want Turco coming here is if Price or Halak is involved in a trade where we are far and away the obvious winners. Obviously, we'd have to send some cap their way, and I really can't imagine who we'd be sending their way without losing that trade completely. Who would Dallas be including in a package coming our way, because frankly, aside from the veteran goalie benefits for our young goalie, we couldn't benefit from accepting an old, expensive, bad goalie that takes the place of one of our young upcoming goalies. Keep Turco, unless they want to take Spacek, Gomez and/or Laraque off our hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracie12 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Keep Turco, unless they want to take Spacek, Gomez and/or Laraque off our hands. What about Gomez for Richards? The last 3 or 4 years people were saying he had the worst contract in the NHL (even worse than, shudder: Gomez) but this year...he's earning his keep... lets hope Scott can do the same next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep Turco, unless they want to take Spacek, Gomez and/or Laraque off our hands. Would we have to send some cap their way? Turco's UFA after this year, and with all the injuries we've had I'd bet we've got some cap room to spare for the rest of the season. With that said, though, I'm with you: I wouldn't make this trade unless their offer was otherwise really one-sided to the point where they shouldn't even be considering it (James Neal or something). Whatever we could get for either goalie now, I bet it's not half of what we could get at the draft or over the summer. Nobody really needs a young, promising but ultimately unproven starter for their playoff run, but lots of people would love to add that over the summer (as more of a long-term deal).

The last 3 or 4 years people were saying he had the worst contract in the NHL (even worse than, shudder: Gomez) but this year...he's earning his keep... lets hope Scott can do the same next year Richards, that's a pretty bad contract too. Even if Brad were putting up Gomez's numbers this year, and vice versa, the difference is that Richards only has one year on his contract after this year. If it were Richards and Turco for Gomez, Spacek (Hamrilk?) and anything else, I would do it, simply because that's a lot of cap space off our books for the next couple of years (10 million I think?). I hope Scott can turn it around next year, but even if he does, and he puts up a 70 point season, I still say we should trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachNo1 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Dallas just picked up Lhetonen and they now have three goalies so I can't see them trading Turco for yet another goalie. If Turco is coming to Montreal then one of our goalies is getting shipped elsewhere, not back to Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flames4eva Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Dallas just picked up Lhetonen and they now have three goalies so I can't see them trading Turco for yet another goalie. If Turco is coming to Montreal then one of our goalies is getting shipped elsewhere, not back to Dallas. If they would be interested in some of the Habs over-paid players (Gomez for example) as part of the deal... it would be an okay dream for me. And it wouldn't necessitate moving one of our goalies right away in any case... also Turco is UFA in the summer but his veteran experience could possibly help now.

swimmerpuck Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I get the impression Dallas wants to shed salary. If that's the case it would seem we'd have to send salary somewhere else if we're going after Turco. How about Spacek for Turco? It would help them shed some salary. Of course that depletes our cap or puts us over unless we can do something else without hurting our team. Would be nice if it could work as we would shed Turco's salary after the season and be rid of Spacek's contract. I don't even really know what Dallas needs though. But getting Turco who is UFA could ease the pain of having to part with one of our young goalies which I would assume we would do. I don't know.....................

koreysecord1992 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 No thanks...unless we're getting something sweet along with Turco and they're taking some salary and dead weight back from us, which doesn't seem likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyMan86 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 trade BGL+halak for turco and ott carey price finally gets that mentor goalie even if for a short time(we can always resign turco to a 2 year dirt cheap deal since im guessing his career as a number 1 is pretty much over considering his age...)so we can have a turco-price tandem and of course we can switch picks to even out the trade.
