that's pretty fucked considering they didn't get much back for him...
the thing about that is though, Halak was never really part of the plan, just a pleasant surprise rather. They clearly didn't want to take the risk of giving him a big raise, so they're gonna go with their guy, Price. Tough to swallow after how he stood on his head for us this spring, but i will reserve my judgement on this until i get to see how it pans out, no use in getting upset over nothing right now.
Obviously, this has to do with them either re-signing Plekanec, going after a big FA (Marleau, Kovalchuk, ect.), or preparing to make a trade that will see them take on another large salary. This is just the first domino.
