I thought he might be in the deal but didn't think they'd want to break up that great Thornton-Ricci-Sundstrom line... I guess Sundstrom's total lack of offensive production made him expendable. Bradley will probably slip right into his place on the 3rd unit... guy is good skater, great on the PK and will definitely be a hit with the ladies! haha... not a bad deal for an UFA-to be.

www.tsn.ca/nhl/teams/player_bio.asp?player_id=412&hubName=MTLsundstrums bio holy crap it sure doesn't take long for TSN to update their web site. interstingly he's an 8th overall pick who scored 24 goals in his second NHL season at age 27 he is hitting his prime. HABS WILL WIN THIS DEAL IN A LANDSLIDE IN THE LONG RUN IMO.

I wonder how we will use him?
I remember the Rangers unwilling to deal him for Pavel!
Only 27...he can help us for 3-4 years...

I wonder if we wouldn't have been better off just keeping Hack.
Especially since we might be giving up a pick in all of this....

Very good trade for the Habs.
RDS just mentioned that another site is saying Hackett was just traded for McLaren???
Can't wait for the press conference...i'll be happy with Sundstrom, but ecstatic with McLaren...

RDS just confirmed what i said...
If the Sharks got McLaren 1 for 1, the Habs get burned bigtime.
Sundstrom and a 4th is very good return for Hackett, but McLaren is much, much better.

In all honesty, it's a good deal... part of me is relieved it isn't Marchment, don't want that guy in my conference, let alone on a playoff competitor with whom he'd be a perfect fit. I'm sure AS tried though.

Better off with him than without ... we're not likely to be "haunted" by Hackett anyway. But sundstrom is bad ...

My understand is that the Habs got Niklas Sundstrom and a 4th from San Jose for Hackett.
Sharks then get McLaren and a 4th from Boston for Hackett and Jillson.

Post by MPLABBE on Jan 23, 2003 19:35:54 GMT -5
SJ gave up Sundstrom and Jillson and get McLaren
Boston gives up McLaren and gets Jillson and Hack
We give up Hack for Sundstrom
Picks are involved.
But Hack is a Bruin and McLaren or Rolston are not here!!

it was with Gretz? oh well... yeah, that 24 goal year was all with Gretz, left wing was a switch of Robitaille and Kovalev... really missed him and Alexei that playoff year... Geez, you bring in the greatest playmaker of all time and waste him with wingers like Sundstrom... only Neil, only Neil.

Think of it ... AS knew ... he couldn't have dealt Hackett to SJ not knowing SJ would keep hack .. they have nabokov signed for a multi-year deal. And RDS were saying : " probable AS got hosed " ... what the heck.
Hackett with the bruins is not gonna be such a factor. McClaren here would have been a bigger risk for the bruins than us giving them Hackett. Savard couldn't get anything done so ...
Wish he finds another jewel with his fourth ... he better
