2015 NHL Trade Deadline Thread

[forty_three]

Wait! WAIT!

The Jackets have also traded Adam Cracknell to St Louis for future considerations!

Jarmo is trading useless hockey players who aren't playing for useless assets, one of which IS playing.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Yeesh so cbj couldnt insure the contract because at time of signing he was still rehabbing his shoulder

 

[pixburgher66]

But...but...Wendel Clarkson!

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

But...but...Wendel Clarkson!

He honestly seems like a decent enough guy. Took the subway to the barn, genuinely loved his city. I wish him nothing but the best.

Well, we are the island of misfit toys.

While Jarmo is feeling feisty, wonder if he'd like a slightly bruised, but altogether great, Scuderi.

I am sure he is now focused on Dany Heatley.

Been saying for years the best thing that can happen to this team is an implosion. I love how it's playing out so far.

Best of all, it shows that guys like Phaneuf, Lupul and Bozak aren't entirely untraceable.

OMG. I actually go do some work for an hour and THIS happens !!!!!

My office mates think I am nuts. I just did the happy dance first performed by Alastair Sim in "A Christmas Carol" (look it up youngsters).

I too am popping the cork tonight !!!!!!!!!!

And my next thought after reading this was "ANY contract is tradeable." Smart hockey minds know this, morons think a contract is untradeable.

Like you said BBB, Nonis for fricking Executive of the Year/Decade/Century

Woo Hoo !!!!!!

 

[pixburgher66]

I am sure he is now focused on Dany Heatley.

I hear Jonathon Cheechoo is in the best shape of his life.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

I know it's as likely as Horton coming back and winning the Richard trophy, but I will laugh my ass off if Clarkson scores 30 next year.

Clarkson could rebound. Fresh start and all

He got the huge contract playing in a zero pressure market and now hes back in one

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Can't say I know a damn thing for certain, but this kind of reinforces my thought that signing Clarkson was more a Leiweke thing than a Nonis thing.

I honestly walked into my place, put the keys on the table, turned on the TV and it was still on Sportsnet from last night and the first thing that happens is "BREAKING NEWS" and my neighbours must all think im crazy.

Did Scott Gomez score last night?

He's not even remotely worth half of his contract, but the Jackets style may, on paper at least, fit his game a bit better than the Leafs' system.

Jack Skille had shoulder surgery and is done for the year so at the very least the Jackets needed a warm body.

And they almost got one!

My phone buzzed with the alert from the Jackets and I said out loud "Fuck. Bloody Brian Burke will have a field day with this."

My wife asked me who Brian Burke is.

 

[pixburgher66]

So, basically, the Leafs acquired Zach Sill so he could replace Clarkson. Because they're basically the same player.

 

[pixburgher66]

Huh...so Nonis got lucky-ish, I guess.

No, no, no. He's the greatest executive ever.

Like Ray Shero was a few years ago.

I really wish it wasn't to the Jackets, man. I really do. You know my affinity for them.

On the plus side, this cannot hurt their tank chances.
