Guest Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 The kid has 18 wins, 8 losses and 4 overtime losses along with a 2.46 goals against average and .900 save percentage playing in the AHL. Sounds OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwdemonwolf Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I like it. Had a rocky tournament but stood in the WJC final in 2009 when Canada beat Sweden 5-1. He's only 23, so there's plenty of room for development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbaker8787 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I wonder if this is an AHL only deal or if they think he'll be a viable backup to Carey next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitive Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Remember when he made McGuire scream? I still laugh at this every time I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitive Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Anyways, back to real talk... This kid is quite simply a winner, he comes up huge whenever the team needs it most. Won the memorial cup with Spokane. Won gold for Canada in the world juniors. Incredible playoff statistics in the AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinot-1 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I wonder if this is an AHL only deal or if they think he'll be a viable backup to Carey next year IMO, I would hope that that is what MB has in mind, because as far as I know,,,there's nothing in the pipeline.

Inquisitive Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Sorry, Add the Calder cup to his long list of acheivements. He won it in 2011-2012 with these statistics: 12 wins 2 losses 3 Shutouts .944 Save Percentage 1.46 Goal Against Average. So yes, He's basically won it all, The real concerns for him are his size, and consistency during regular season games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewfoundlandHab Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Good trade for us. Totarski was a good prospect who still has some potential. Also is a few years younger than Desjardins who is a UFA after this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gehlsen Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Woot! sounds good to me... I figure he will be back up for Carey in the near future if he pans out. Peter Budaj days may be out #. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter is only signed for this year. Unless he get's an extension, we will be looking next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok in the future as in next year... if Budaj doesn't come back and Tokarski plays well in the AHL.... He could be the back up we are looking for at a cheaper price.

BeanCountingHab Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Remember when he made McGuire scream? I still laugh at this every time I see it. This is the first and only thing I thought of. If nothing else, this signing if worth it on the off chance we can some day put him in a game that McGuire is doing the colour for.

js2 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 But how well does he do with the worst team in the history of sports in front of him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbaker8787 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'm liking this more and more as the day goes on, if he can live up to his billing he would be a great compliment to Price. The future of the game isn't riding your guy for 75 games IMO, if we can get someone who can be relied on for 20-25 games you will have a fresh Price down the stretch and in the playoffs.

FirstStar Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Like i mentioned in the Budaj thread, i think the habs just acquired next seasons back up. Some scouts still believe this kid could be an NHL goalie. He could learn a lot from being Carey's backup. Not a bad trade, not like Desjardin was going anywhere. Welcome to the organization kid!

FirstStar Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Gotta love those Leaf fans with their comments of Price's successor. They wish. :lol: They still think Toskala was a great tender and that cujo should be in the HOF. I really liked cujo as a tender. Did well in St Louis and Edmonton, but i wouldn't call him an elite tender with a HOF career. And Toskala couldn't leave NA fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEBIGGESTHABSFAN123 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I guess it's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatethosebruins Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Not a bad move. For both players. I think if we have Dustin up next year he could learn alot and we could have a tradeable asset. Desjardins is supposedly highly regarded in Tampa and may finally get some extended time in the show, I think he can handle playing in the NHL and could be a decent back up in a low stress market like Tampa.

FirstStar Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 IMO, I would hope that that is what MB has in mind, because as far as I know,,,there's nothing in the pipeline. Nope, nothing. That's one area where Montreal has been strong the last 20-30 years. Since Carey, they haven't drafted a real promsing prospect for the nets.

31Careyprice Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Good trade for the habs, get a decent prospect with NHL potential for Cedrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy_133 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Nope, nothing. That's one area where Montreal has been strong the last 20-30 years. Since Carey, they haven't drafted a real promsing prospect for the nets. Since taking Carey I can only remember them drafting 1 goalie, Missiaen, huge kid who wasn't even tendered a contract. I'm probably forgetting a late round pick or 2 but there definitely hasn't been a premium on it. Goaltending is the easiest and cheapest position to fill and stock an organization with and we happen to have 1 of the elite ones in the league who's still only 25. I can see why it's low priority but I'd still like to see a few more late round fliers taken on guys, hope to find the next Ludnqvist or Rinne, even another Halak. Could provide some cheap years at backup and then nice trade value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob2h Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Nope, nothing. That's one area where Montreal has been strong the last 20-30 years. Since Carey, they haven't drafted a real promsing prospect for the nets. The way I see it now is if Price stays healthy they wont need another for 10 years or so.
