Karine Hains: In Hainsight: About Jake Allen The Canadiens have got 4 goaltenders signed to NHL contracts and who have to go through waivers to be sent down to Laval, something's got to give.

apparently DeSmith was arrested in 2014 after punching his GF...

why are hockey players so (frank)ed up? jeebus.

of course Allen is here to stay, who wants a backup paid 3.8M for 2 more years?
poser la question c'est y répondre.
De Smith will be waived, so will Primeau. let see if one (or both) get claimed.

Hard to trade but not impossible.

Hughes told De Smith he would make every effort not to bury him in the minors that’s why a trade seems more likely to me

yup, and Hughes specifically mentioned the goalie trade market was often slow when talking about DeSmith, his intentions are pretty obvious.

of course he'll try to trade him. imo he won't succeed.
or if he does the return will be close to 0.

Which would be fine.

Teams are always looking for 3rd goalies for pennies on the dollar. Somebody will take him, whether it's for a 7th or a waivers pick up.

Which would be fine.

Hughes managed to trade Petry twice, and got rid of Hoffman. anything is possible.

aucune garantie, dans un sens ou dans l'autre

échanger Petry la deuxième fois n'était pas tant un problème, surtout quand tu regardes le retour obtenu, mais il avait fait une promesse. Hoffman, là j'avoue qu'il devait être créatif pour éviter un rachat de contrat.

Je ne pense pas que ce soit un si gros problème, du moins par pour le club. Pt stressant pour les gardiens concernés (montembaum est ok, c'est lui le partant), mais si c'est le plus gros problème du CH en ce moment, ça va bien en tabarnak comme dirait mon grand-père

il disait pas ça, mais bon

le mien disait: "si vous faite le mal, faite le bien"

Just had a T-Bone, ya know to leave you some familly, can't always have chicken !

It was generally understood in Pittsburgh prior to the trade that desmith would need a small sweetener added to move. Not sure what changed since then?

je sais qu'il y a pas de garantie, je donnais simplement des exemples de transactions faites par Hughes que je trouve quand même impressionants, il semble être en mesure de toujours trouver une solution. ça se peut qu'il ne réussisse pas à échanger DeSmith, mais je gagerais pas contre non plus.

yeah, some of them are pretty (frank)ing insane, but it doesn't really make me feel better since I don't really give a damn about football lol.

mathias mathias mathias....

...Dubois, aussitôt mis sous contrat par les Kings pour huit ans à un salaire annuel de 8,5 millions. C’est cher payé pour un joueur de 63 points en 73 matchs...

how is that cher payé compared to Suzuki? (7,8M for 66 pts in 82 games)

i mean why should the percentage of jagoffs being any less in athletes than in the rest of the population.

(frank)ing bingo.

- Gramps28

if anything it seems to be higher among pro athletes, but perhaps I'm giving too much credit to the rest of the population, which I agree has its fair share as well...
