After the Rangers team meeting following our elimination from the 1st rd of the playoffs, we decide to go in a different direction with our starter while adding more veteran leadership on the blueline. And we're not done with moves. More to come.

[Mordecai]

Habs agree. Shaking up the roster after a tough playoff loss feels good. Feels like we're doing something about it to make it right. We paid the asking price to get a younger top goalie. Good easy going talks with BB.

It is very clear and evident that BB knows but he's doing, but I feel like Montreal is getting a steal here. Both owners doing a bit of a shakeup.

[PsychoticPondGoons]

Habs getting a good one here. That might just be a case of an owner pulling the trigger after an emotional loss.

[Mordecai]

When you get offered the top young goalie in the game, you say "Yes" and remember to say "Thank You". Unless Andy has a severe blood condition that's career threatening I'm not aware of, this is a no brainer for my Habs.

[ALL4U2NV]

I like the way Mordecai builds through trades.

[dickiedunn]

Post-dated approval. Big trade.

[DToxFan]

2 big goalies changing jerseys after playoff losses. Surprised but not really. Both owners had high hopes for their team.

[EndGame]

Great deal for NYR though they take on more cap in the process.
