Habs Trade Up in the 2010 Entry Draft...Way Up.
by Willey
As is the case every year, going into the draft my hopes were high but the reality of the situation is that a fantastic playoff run left us with the 27th overall pick.
The worst 1st round position this organization has ever had.
But when all was said and done Pierre Gauthier and the Montreal Canadiens left Los Angeles with arguably the best prospect this organization has had since Carey Price.
In a gutsy move Gauthier agreed to part with both our 1st and 2nd round picks in exchange for the 22nd overall and a late 4th rounder in what was otherwise considered a very deep draft.
With the thoughts and distaste of many still fresh in our mouths with...

Keeping the Faith... or Not
by Tyg
Hallelujah! The Great Goalie War of 2009-2010 is OVER! Why isn't everyone rejoicing?
I know there's a lot of Halak vs. Price comparisons going on again today - frankly they've been going on for a while now and I've read all that and how their stats are comparable and what not.
I've read more than I care to about this trade, and while logic has gotten through to me and I understand about salary cap issues, etc. let me make one thing clear: Just because I understand something doesn't automatically equate to me liking it.
I'm not a Halak worshipper, nor am I a Price faithful.
I like both goalies and think both are highly skilled and capable. I would have...
