Ongoing NHL thread - Part III

[DragonfromTO]

So Martin Erat gets a press conference but Mike Richards barely gets a tweet?

I don't think you can give Richards a Tweet without a prescription

I think Philly made out like bandits on this trade, dump a couple of guys on LA at 50 cents on the dollar and get a promising prospect (one LA did not want to put on waivers for fear or losing him) and a 3rd round pick.

Well, Luke Schenn will now be around to lessen the load!

Not again arrgghh

 

[dash]

Or as blindbaby calls him, Luke Chien.

Laugh it up people
This will be the move that brings the Kings a cup.


No really.

Come on
Couldn't they have just dressed an orange cone and bought a folding chair

Next year's candidate for NHL All-Star vote jihad.

I will not stand for it.

You are wrong, the trade was not with Columbus.

Some are speculating this is a gap filler until Jay Beagle returns from injury.

Ryan Johansen for Seth Jones heating up?

FUUUUUCK

 

[forty_three]

Jarmo is a fucking moron and John Tortorella is the fucking devil.


Good luck to Joey. They just traded him straight up for Seth Jones.

Ok takes a little of the sting away

 

[esls79]

That's a pretty big domino, no?

Doesn't get better than watching a blockbuster unfold from the comfort of your sofa.

I wouldn't want to deal with Johansen's negotiations any time soon, but Nashville finally got their guy.

I don't see how the bolded aren't the same thing. It's not even like they play different positions or anything.

I'm also not sure I understand how not criticizing Kadri for low point totals shows anything regarding double standards. Under a double standard aren't some guys going to not be criticized while others are?

I want to be clear that I'm not trying to attack you or call you Steve Simmons, I don't think you're generally like that at all. But I think that you might have a bit of a blind spot when it comes to Toews specifically, which a lot of people do.

I consider Toews more complete, and I think that he can sustain his play longer than Crosby will be able to - every trend chart of Crosby over the past 4 years has shown a decline. You can't ignore that. Before then, there's no way I would've chosen Toews over Crosby, but that was then and this is now.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Is today the deadline? WTF?

 

[dash]

A good old fashioned 1 for 1 trade? About as rare as seeing the Oilers in the playoffs.

Hey-O!

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Christ. Sorry 43.

I think Jones can be great, but I sure as shit wouldn't have made a 1-for-1 for anybody other than Josi. I guess Nashville wouldn't, either.
