Halak Traded to St. Louis for Lars Eller & Ian Schultz

[CrisisInMTL]

Pierre Lebrun on Twitter:

Halak has not signed with Blues, Halak's agent Allan Walsh just told me. Walsh also said Habs never once contacted them after season

[idoentknow*]

Halak is better than Price, why Gauthier?!

[coolasprICE]

what's wrong with Perron???

[Private Encounter]

Complete shock.

Checking my facebook, I hear my boss yelling "CALISSSSSSSS! SHAAAAAWN!"

I though, oh no, what did I do wrong now. The last thing I expected was a trade. And it had to be Halak too... Remind me once next season starts, to never get attached to a player again.

Wow... as shocked and devastated as I am, I can't wait to find out who they got in return.

[Souvenirs]

I think Halak looked like he wanted to leave, so I'm not that surprised that he's the one getting traded...

but I really thought we were keeping both....

I don't know if I believe Walsh. I don't see why Habs WOULDN'T contact him once?
Unless it was settled, Price is their boy.

Yah, walsh probably distanced himself and his client from the organization big time.

You answered your own question.

I think they knew one had to go (cap) and made their choice.

It's scary either way, but in some respects, I'm glad they sold high. Halak's value may never be higher. Price's may never be lower.

Hope they're right!

[Poulet Kostopoulos]

Wow. Can't believe it happened so quickly.

3... 2... 1... thread, board explode!

[idoentknow*]

Where are the details of this trade?!

[LyricalLyricist]

If it's backes+1st

Halak


I drool.

[uiCk]

also like to thank jaro for the run/season!

hope we get oshie. perron + something wouldnt be too shaby. if thats the case, probably one of the most succesfull goalie trades in a while imo

[We Want The 25]

im in shock i had a feeling it will happen at the draft but this comes out of the blue
i really hope we didnt get bent over

Details to follow. - TSN

[Monctonscout]

Perron and a 1st wouldn't be bad value, he's a legit top 6 forward, but I would prefer Backes and a 2nd.

[HabsInsideOut]

Im shocked, C'mon Backes

[Canadian_Brewtality]

Its gonna be perron

its a french thing

[Jordan]

Eller and Schultz - from Lebrun

[Bounbi]

don't want Backes, he becomes UFA after his contract

[Thinkbig]

OH YEAH BABY!!!!! HALAK FANS YOU LOST! HAHA

Gauthier is a smart man!

[Emerica]

From Pierre Lebrun's twitter, ''Habs get Eller and Schultz in return from Blues''

[icerocket]

Holy moly!

I JUST DON'T GET WHY THEY WOULD ANNOUNCE A TRADE AND THEN NOT GIVE THE DETAILS.

I'm shocked like everyone else, that's all.

[Turtleneck Plek]

Eklund says Lars Eller is part of the deal.

If this is true, I'll be one happy man. My man-love for Eller has been going strong for the last two years.

[Jack Bourdain]

Thank you for everything Jaro! Good luck!
