I was also on a budget when I upgraded my gear and went with Pro Pads (Eagle Fusion 2006 model) and with Senior entry level Trapper/Blocker (Eagle Sentry)
You can find the Eagle Sentry 2007 or 2008 model on Ebay for 300$ (both gloves). I have played about 20 games with these gloves and they are very nice for a chinese made product. I have yet to get a real dinger of any sorts on either glove. The trapper was already nicely formed and closed very well and pucks where staying in the pocket from game 1. The blocker was also pretty sweet and comes with good thumb and all around protection too. So if you're budget is that limited, I think the Eagle Sentry Senior duo is the way to go. I believe you can get the non NHL spec Pro model for a 100 or 200$ more on Ebay.
Hope this helps.
