i have read the tbay gm, jay feaster, indicated that he will acquire a goalie through trade.
assuming that huet is resigned by the habs to a multi-year deal, and is not the second coming of blaine lacher or jim carrey, what would aebischer fetch if tbay was indeed interested.
i like aebischer. i believe he is seriously underrated. the last few years, he has statistically speaking, been in the top 7 goaltenders in the nhl.
what could montreal get in a one-for-one with tbay?

I like Abby too and he was never to blame on Colorado, never, he started slow this year like most of the goalies but came back strong for Colorado and their push for the playoffs, singlehandely won a couple of games. Tampa would give us at most ummm not Prospal, Lecavalier, Richards, St-Louis, Modin but .....Fedotenko ? Craig ? Or maybe Gainey will make another bad trade and get Grahame or Burke

I don't see Aebi going straight up. There will be a few teams who will want him and there are a couple of players we want to move besides him, so I think Gainey will say OK, you want Aebi, well we also need to involve Ribs, or Zed or whoever in the deal. Expect a decent, but not great return for Aebi because he ended as a backup, so he doesn't have starter trading power. Fedetenko would seem about the right level of player in return.

I agree, Abby will probably be paired up with another Hab...I wouldn't mind getting a Dman like Dan Boyle (not in a million years) or Sydor.
