Draft Day/Tradapalooza Thread

I guess the Oil had a much bigger package for Schneider than NJ, but Gillis didn't want to make the trade within the division.

Canucks want to keep Dubnyk employed

For the most part, I get not trading in division. BUT, with the divisions expanding now, can that really still be the excuse? I tend to think that what ever makes your team better and your team more complete, is the best option.

42000 showed up for her concert in vancouver last night so im thinkin she somehow cursed us too

Good here is my prediction the Penguins over the Canucks in 4 next SCF's....

Thank you Taylor Swift and Shero for finally getting rid of the cursed few!

Anyway I missed the draft due to driving back from vacation so what happened why did Jones fall to #4?!?

Vancouver is stuck with luongo and luongo is stuck with vancouver

79 year old nonno aquilini said no no to any type of buyout

What is strombone gonna do ? Holdout for a trade ? And botchford said bobby lou likes money too much for that

Theyll make the best of it. His teammates love him. Hes a pro.

Well strombone could retire & really fuck things up for the Canucks.:

Poile has a horseshoe stuck up his ass?

I was shocked that Tampa didn't take him. I figured the Panthers would take Barkov. They've been talking about it since they finished the season.

Walk away from all that cake???

I'm just happy that the Sabres are getting bigger and meaner.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Walk away from all that cake???

What's wrong with cake??

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Walk away from all that cake???

I didn't say it would be a SMART thing to do.

Goalies from montreal love their cake!!!

Hold up in Letang deal? He wants guarantee to not get traded next summer. Man...he's a worried guy. That said, I think that the window to trade him has passed.

Can we haz Marie Antoinette/Patrick Roy photoshop plz?

 

[davnlaguna]

Louie Lams called Marty down specifically so he could announce the pick.

Lotta class for a "Mickey Mouse" organization.

and who gave them that pick?
Kings are so nice to keep a family together.

 

[elocomotive]

Roenick asked Brodeur a question about today's draft, to which Marty responded...

"I can't really here what Jeremy says, because I got cake plugging my ear."

 

[puckhead]

Edler's NTC has kicked in, fwiw.

Edler's NTC has kicked in, fwiw.

This is going to be a difficult week for Gillis. Has a goalie that he has no way of predicting what he's gonna say, a coach who's the same way, he has to face the Vancity media about Schneider (and how Corey found out about the trade), now he can't trade Edler and he might have a new neighbor by the end of the week.

Wonder if there's a fortified bunker he can hide in somewhere.

Agreed in principle and at 5ish per for two.

Bobrovsky agrees to contract with Jackets | BlueJackets Xtra

I like the dollars and term. Keep him hungry and shields the Jackets should he completely blow up. If he keeps it up, his next deal will be bigger.

Sounds like the Jackets have been talking with Briere and are still working on a deal for Vanek. They have roughly 12m to play with still and no one left to sign unless Vinny and Aucoin want to play another year here. And they will be relatively cheap. Jackets are not one of the approximately 234 teams in the running for Vincent the Cavalier.

 

[pixburgher66]

Two years is interesting, but yeah, it sort of protects both parties there.
