Too bad Flyers didn't do this last year, and got what Wash got for Varlamov, but this ain't bad I guess, and that 1.75 mill helps the cap. I really hope Shelly is a ufa to.
I was thinking Homer mightve threw shelly in that trade like buy one get one free
I'm not a fan more because I think B ob would have had more value in a package. I guess we owed CBJ one for raping them over Carter last year.
I gotta think the Homer is working on something else now though, and it's prob big since he doesn't really do subtle well. I'm just worried what parts get moved and how much cap we're taking gaining.
How are we on the contract limit? Because a move like this you only do for one of three reasons:
1. To clear out a contract.
2. To improve the team directly (AKA we think the 3 picks will turn out better than Bob would have)
3. To free up cap space.
Which of the three was it? (And sorry for the John Madden-esque description of how trades work).
For a 2nd and 4th this year, and a 4th next year.
Pretty good return I think. Gotta believe that 2nd gets traded real quick though, homer hates those haha.
Need a backup goalie now
Well looks like I'm in the minority on all these STUPID trades and drafts this year.. Like I said before, Bob's trade looks good on paper, but in a weak draft class it isn't shit.. Oh well I know I'm not wrong, I've been watching this same stupid song and dance for years with our GM's, when we get to the point of missing just 1 or 2 pieces they always go the wrong direction to fix it. Now were stuck with an aging back up goalie, and no decent back up.. I think Bob could have been good here given a chance, he showed good flashes as a rookie,but when you never get consistancy in playing time it's hard to develop. Oh well I guess next year we'll be doing the same thing after round 1 or 2 again, welcome to the Never Ending Story..
