I like this signing for the Blues, its not Huet-sized stupidity, and not such a long term that if he falters he can't be traded or bought out if need be. A worthwhile salary for an up-and-coming goalie.
I'm still surprised that if this was all it was going to take to sign him that the Habs would not have preferred him over Price... |

Kinda depends how he "falters" (if he does)? I mean, if he's brutal, not many teams are gonna wanna take on a 3.75M salary for a backup?
I think he'll do okay there and that in the end, the signing will have been a good one. |

Ya surprised he didn't get a Gustavssonesque deal $1.5 - $2.5 for 2 or 3 years, just to make sure he's the real deal. |

Pretty cheap, if you ask me (going by market value, not actual worth) . . . I guess too many teams have gotten bitten badly lately by the big deal for an unproven starter.
I personally don't see Halak falling into that category, however - I think he's for real, and will in the future be Montreal's great regret.

| Wonder how long les habs new GM will last if Price falters next season ? Halak, i think is worth his pay, he seems like a very solid goal-tenter. You can`t really - fairly compare him to the monster, $$$$ wise, Halak has proven his play for awhile now wheras the monster hasn`t really played many NHL games in his short career, who knows what he is going to do. The guy i pity in all of this is C. Price, sooooooooo much pressure on him next season. He is almost in a no - win situation, every goal will be under a microscope. He is in a situation where he has to be almost perfect every night to satisfy the fans, if he is not.....i think his Montreal career ( not NHL career ) will be a short one. |
