Habster:
Here is an excerpt from an Ottawa Sun article by sports columnist Bruce Garrioch regarding a rumour circulating the media about the Canadiens and Penguins which would involve a Jaroslav Halak for Colby Armstrong exchange…..highly improbable Hab Fans!!! Ray Shero would be crazy to give up on Armstrong and his grit/hustle, something the Penguin need to maintain in their lineup. I also don’t think Halak has enough playing experience “to work with Marc-Andre Fleury” as Fleury has played more NHL games than Halak. Curtis Joesph would be a nice fit if his asking price isn’t too high and he would be willing to split the playing time with Fleury.
If Gainey can make this deal happen, it could be a steal to add a solid 2nd or 3rd line player to the lineup…..Koivu & Armstrong would kiss and make up to strengthen the team!!!
Bruce Garrioch:
There is a belief the Pittsburgh Penguins are talking to the Habs about prospect G Jaroslav Halak, who is with the Montreal’s AHL affiliate in Hamilton. The Penguins want to strengthen their goaltending and have somebody to work with Marc-Andre Fleury. Apparently, the Habs covet Pittsburgh RW Colby Armstrong, but that asking price might be a little high for Penguins GM Ray Shero.
