You wonder what might if happened if the Sabres would not have matched the Oilers offer sheet for Vanek and taken four first round picks from Edmonton all those years ago?

Would that have included the Yakupov/Murray draft? Because the Sabres would not have goofed that one like Edmonton did, and I'd be stuck trying to defend Yakupov.

Regier probably wouldn't have survived the day. Literally. Not just as GM.

I would have preferred the four 1st rounders to be honest, but he had no choice but to match.

No actually it just missed Yak:

The contract that the Oilers inked Vanek to was a seven-year, $50.0 million pact. Because of the money involved, had the Sabres declined to match the offer, they would have received the Oilers’ first round draft picks from 2008 to 2011 as compensation. Those picks were as follows:


•2008: 12th overall (Tyler Myers)*
•2009: 10th overall (Magnus Paajarvi)
•2010: First overall (Taylor Hall)
•2011: First overall (TBD)

TBD turned out to be RNH

Sorry, I goofed and edited my post above.

Nuge would be in the East, and I'd still have Murray. Good.

So, Mr. Giroux, you admit you grabbed the officer's can. What do you have to say in your defense? Mr. Giroux, your silence will only incriminate you further. No, Mr. Giroux, don't take your anger out on me! Get back! Get back! M-Mr. Giroux, noooo!

One name you didn't hear today? Mike Ribiero, gotta be one of the top 3 left on the market. For a cheap deal, i'd take a flyer on him seeing as we need help down the middle.

You really want to grab a guy who was released for "behavioral problems" (wink wink) and let him loose in the Big Apple?

Are we talking about Ribs or Giroux?

On a one-year deal, maybe.

Flyers just stole a 3rd round pick for Tye McGinn - he was so inconsistent in his time with the Flyers

 

[esls79]

So the Sharks strategy is if they can't beat the Kings, they will beat them up. Seems legit.

/and before anybody corrects me, McGinn may not be a goon, but he's coming from the Flyers organization - enough said.

Geez, why would the Sharks give up a 3rd round pick for Tye McGinn when you could pick a guy off the scrap heap for nothing?

:rollseyes:

I got in the car after work and put it on 1050 - Simmons was on.

I got home from work and turned on TSN - Simmons was on OTR.

I took a shower, went back to the tv and SportsCentre was on - and so was Simmons.

What the ever loving fuck is going on?

There's going to be fewer and fewer opportunities in the KHL if this continues:

Gagarin Cup finalists Lev Praha became the third KHL team this off-season to pull out of next season's campaign

Do you think that the Sharks and the Flames are at the same stage in their team development?

That's Doug MacLean level stupid right there.
