It's not a strong draft.

Canadiens Montréal ‏@CanadiensMTL 1m

Habs acquire Thomas Vanek + conditional 5th round pick in 2014 from the Islanders for S. Collberg and a conditional 2nd round pick in 2014

I guess the conditional is related to him signing in Montreal
- stinger67

So he got Weaver for free...

Wow, i was wrong MB finally did take some risk

From Tavares to Briere
- mr.peanut

Vanek and Brière did pretty good together in BUF.

- Jean_Perron

What would've been REAL funny was if Moulson was also traded...for MORE than Vanek...

I think Chang would've given him a raise.

Guys, I think Vanek is the future considerations for Dubnyk.

wouldn't that be a conditional 1st?
- habs12

if he signs with the Habs, they get a 2nd and the habs get a 5th ...I assume

Interesting all the recent Nazi talk around here and BOOM Vanek

Wow, i was wrong MB finally did take some risk

Ya, lets hope they can get some chemistry going in the last 18-19 games.

Misread a text, sorry. Both picks, MTL's 2nd and the #Isles 2015 5th, are conditional. If Habs miss playoffs, no picks change hands.

He won't sign with the Habs unless the offer is crazy.

No, the picks apply if the Habs make the playoffs.

Nope. Based on Habs making playoffs.

Is Vanek on a plane to Anaheim yet? It's a 5 hour flight. Could still make it....

So Collberg + 2nd for Vanek and a 5th.

That's a great trade.

Let's hope he likes it here and stays with the team.

Isles now saying they only get the 2nd rounder if Canadiens make this year's playoffs.

apparently his wife is busy beating the poop out of him

No, the picks apply if the Habs make the playoffs.
- _nay_

So in the end, the NYI got Collberg and a 2nd for Moulson, a 1st, and a 2nd?

That being said, Collberg end value is a 1st and a 2nd....

Which is most probable.

Wait until he he gets a standing ovation and people start calling him a God....

also wait until MB gives him a truck load of $$$$$

Not sure how much left will be after Subban and Markov.

Hey, the positive is the CAD value. Players get paid in USD, so 6.5mil is like getting 7.15mil in Montreal.

Vanek playing in Phoenix Pete.
