Armstrong is a third line plugger, Christensen is a guy who doesn't really do anything other than look good in a shootout every once in a while, Esposito is a prospect who has bust written all over him. What is the 1st rounder Pittsburgh gave up? It's not gonna be all that high, is it?
That's exactly what I was thinking. When they said Montreal couldn't match that deal I was suprised.
Skip, after thinking about it a little more, I agree with you. I have faith in Price, and even though it might be a little early for him to be the full time guy, maybe the faith Gainey is showing in him will give him a lot of confidence, time will tell I guess.
Also, I wasn't aware that Huet was a u.f.a. in the summer, but the 3 million they freed up will help them out with summer signings especially considering the cap is going to go up.
