Garth Snow

oye...not liking Vanek in Montreal

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

I'd just like to thank the TSN panel for ripping my favorite team. They deserved every single second of it. I truly hope the league takes over this franchise. I know it's very unlikely to happen, but it's been run into the ground since Wang bought it. The once proud fans of this team are now bitter, angry & beyond fed up.

 

[flyersfan4706]

Wait, what? Collberg and a conditional 2nd? How? I get vaneks value took a hit, but how did 28 other teams not offer more?

Word around the block was that he wants to go to minny. Plus the islanders tried signing him to a ridiculous deal which he turned down. No reason to offer anything for him.

I'm done. I'm not following hockey again until Wang & Snow are gone. The NHL has lost this fan. The League needs to step in. What's been allowed to happen to this franchise from John Spano to Charles Wang is a disgrace to the Sports World. And yes I blame Bettman a bit. He bought into the Spano crap just like everybody else.

Not to make things worst but....Edmonton offered 7 first round picks for vanek and the islanders offered 1. How the hell did Snow only get a second!!???? Im wondering what Moulson is getting in return.

I still figure a team would have to value him as a pure rental more than a prospect and a conditional 2nd

There is no good way to spin this for Isle's fans.

Looking at this another way they basically traded Moulson, a 1st and 2nd for Sebastien Collberg and a 2nd.

This isn't serious, is it?!

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Actually the Isles will give Montreal a 5th round pick in the deal if they make the playoffs. Which of course is very likely.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Wait. I was assured that Vanek, despite being a rental, was going to return a good young roster player, a top-notch goalie prospect and a first round pick!! I was misled!!!

What a debacle for the Isles.

 

[Vadered]

I cannot believe that. What a freaking steal.

Snow is just soooo bad at this.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

To be honest there really isn't any hope for the Isles franchise. When the team is run by people like Wang & Snow the only way they're going to go is down in FLAMES. I can't believe Snow actually said we were fortunate to get this deal. I'm so depressed right now. I actually hope Tavares demands to be dealt in the offseason. As far as I'm concerned until Wang & Snow are gone the team will never do anything. Let me put it this way, I never thought there could be a GM as bad as Milbury. Snow has eclipsed him in my book after today. Yes things are that bad.

Sorry, dash I just couldn't help it.

To be fair, this deal should have been done a week ago. You know shit isn't happening for the Isles once Tavares goes down (and likely well before that), so start selling him and don't wait until the last minute to pull the trigger on whatever is left.

The worst part is everyone was waiting for the Vanek trade to fall that it held up all the other deals, and we could have gotten an even better day for trading. Instead, Snow screwed that up too.

3 possible theories:

1. Garth Snow is a dolt
2. Mike Milbury is still somehow the Isles GM
3. Garth Snow is actually Mike Milbury (have you ever seen them together) and is a dolt
