He was the best goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens in these playoffs. He led them to a Eastern Conference Final against the Philadelphia Flyers. He was able to outduel every player on the Washington Capitals and the Pittsburgh Penguins, two elite powerhouses. He seemed like the right fit for Montreal. He could lead his team to the final. And now he is with someone else. That's right, the Montreal Canadiens have finally dealt him to the St. Louis Blues. This pretty much cleared up the talks about a questionable goaltending controversy in Montreal. Apparently, the Canadiens thought that Carey Price was a better goaltender than Jaroslav Halak. From my viewpoint, it was the wrong move for them.
Jaroslav Halak was probably the Montreal Canadiens's best goaltender in recent years. Now with him being gone and Carey Price most likely taking that number one job, do the Canadiens have a chance at playoffs again next season? Or will the trade of Halak hurt them? It will not help. This was actually a poor move. The Canadiens gave away a superstar goalie for two youngsters that didn't play well with St. Louis.
I'm sure the Canadiens thought they were making the right move, but some experts and myself think otherwise. Well, that might be one of the many moves that the Montreal Canadiens accidentally make. We'll see who else they trade down the road and if it has a major impact on the Canadiens club.
