Just going to say this once:

The LAST thing the Habs need right now is a goaltender. Aebisher is as good, if not better, then anything we could get at a reasonable price...and Gainey is not giving up assets to improve goaltending temporarily. Plus, by everyone's account in Hamilton, Halak is the real deal so unless he falters (and he played amazing in Colombus) no goaltending trade...maybe a center? maybe a d-man? but not a goaltender

Yea, and Montreal's prospects are way better than Toronto, shall we compare Wellwood, Stajan, and Steen's numbers to Higgins, Perezhogin, and Pleckanec?

Toronto's 3 young guys combined

gp       pts.        +/-

153      87         +7

Montreal's 3 young guys combined

gp       pts.        +/-

158      69         +5

Not stellar numbers by either team, but I would take Torontos's guys in a heartbeat.

Montreal has some good prospects not on the team, but there all goalies, why does Montreal insist on drafting goalie after goalie when that is the single position they are deep at.

I take Toronto's up and coming prospects in a heartbeat as well.

Esche? I laughed so hard I pissed myself. Please. Both Halak and Danis can out-perform him for the role of back-up to Aebischer while Huet is mending. The Habs should be inquiring about the Shark's Bernier if anyone.

If Gainey goes out and gives ANYTHING to the Flyers for Robert (Rebound Rob) Esche, i'll go out to the Atlantic in a dingy and look for his daughter myself!

Also Dany Sabourin was one of the best goalies in the AHL last year, so don't expect Halek to be a star.

I'm very annoyed about a few things. One, why is everybody saying Pogge is gonna be the next Terry Sawchuk or something. His number are terrible, he was awesome in the world juniors, but wasn't Rico Fata too? He turned out great. I'm not saying that if your good in the world juniors you won't be good, but it doesn't your guerentee to be no matter how good your team is. The defense was also awesome that in that tournament. 2, hearing that the Habs will kill the Leafs in a few years or the other way around. Okay you neither of you have great prospects. Okay the Hab's will be wayyyyyy better then the Leaf's in a few years. The Leaf's have no prospects. Pogge like I said won't be an absolute allstar. No great prospects, and no great young players on the team now. No, Kyle Wellwood, Ian White, Alex Steen, and any other prospects will not be great. Last, no one wants Samsonov. Don't even suggest him in trade rumors, because if soemone wanted them they would have picked him up off waivers.

To Montreal: Braydon Coburn, Garnett Exelby
To Atlanta: Sheldon Souray

What does anyone think of that trade idea?

Esche in Montreal??? Bob Gainey will never be stupid enough to bring this guy in town. We have Aebischer and Halak right now... Huet will be back for the playoff... if we are going.. Danis good be as good as Esche... And when the junior season of Carey Price will be finished he'll sign with the club.

Anything else why the habs are not gonna get Esche?
Stupid comment

If someone wanted Samsonov they would have taken him off waivers.
