Peverley is a very underrated player. I like the trade for Boston.

100% agreed. Peverley is the best player in this deal. I tend to wonder if Boston is almost making too many moves though. Sometimes there's a down period after you make a flurry of trades...regardless I think their season hinges on Thomas in the playoffs.

Having the extra draft picks has helped them. It's easier to let a few picks go if you have a surplus already. But yeah, they're certainly going after it.

Rich Peverley...Not to be confused with Nick Beverley

They're names were thrown around a lot together. Figured it was bound to happen.

Peverley is a poor man's Mike Richards, but he's having a down year. Maybe a move to a playoff bound team in a hockey market will rejuvenate him.

 

[Automattic]

Meh.

This may be the worst comparison I have ever heard. Peverly is comparable to Hemsky at best and comparing him to not only a elite 2 way forward but a captain is a joke.

I actually believe Atlanta got the best player in the deal, being Wheeler and the fresh start for a young talented player could do wonders for him. See Buffyligen(spelling).

It was my fault, I wasn't bowing towards the East and doing Hail Mary's when I uttered Jesus Richards name.

Hey man, there's this local shop that makes beef jerky... the teriyaki is good, the special blend is better, but the Atomic Heat or whatever it's called... soooo good, but... well, let's just say I can't point fingers when it comes to skid marks. He who lives in glass houses...
