When the trade was announced, I guess that everyone was sorta shocked and surprised by the new. The hero of the last playoffs, the one who played like a god and beat the defending champs and the president cup winners by himself is suddenly traded.
I don't think anyone would be naive enough to think that both Halak and Price would still be around at the start of the training camp next season. But no one expected Halak to be traded so early in the summer.
What else do you want him to do so that the Canadiens organization would believe in him? Now that I think back, I am not even sure if Halak actually help the Habs win the Stanley Cup would be enough.
I am disappointed that Halak is traded because he really gave us excellent playoffs with his amazing saves against Crosby and Malkin. He deserves to be treated better in an organization that would really give him his chance, hopefully the Blues would do so.
Jaroslav deserve our respect, and good luck in the future with your new team. I will still be a fan.
