Glad I did not wake up early for this. Boring!

Same, I almost got up at 5 to start watching.

 

[Smiley90]

Will Pahlsson actually get any ice time for the Nucks if all our centers stay healthy? Would
He just replace Lapierre as a potential 5th center and Lapierre permanently stays on the wing?

 

[Acid08]

Toronto out, Rangers and Sharks still in on Nash.

 

[BigJonsson]

I hope this Nash circus serves as a learning tool to other players that sign long term deals in shitty markets that keep failing and don't leave when they have the chance

i really with there was a limit of 3 years on contracts

Term limits! Can't serve more than two terms in the same city

Well we got, what? 14 minutes left?
More than enough time to see some comedy and fireworks!

 

[Solo]

10 minutes left. I gotta run right after those 10 minutes, so heres hoping there are more deals announced in the hours following the deadline like usual.

What does a shitty market have to do with anything?

Eventually they need to move you for money reasons and attempt another shitty rebuild.

This happens a ]lot in big markets too, If it isn't their own money spending cap it is the real cap.

 

[BigJonsson]

I wonder what Burke was offered for Reimer

At least bigger markets you'll still have people coming to the games and more things to do in the city

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Rangers will take him.

Sorry, but I have to do this...

Toronto Maple Leafs - 2005-Present: Did not qualify for playoffs.

[SpectreFire]

Who the fuck is Pahlsson.

Half eaten-bag of popcorn.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

In death, a member of Project Mayhem has a name. His name is Samuel Pahlsson.

I said shitty markets, not shitty teams necessarily

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Hockey Buzz Eklund ‏ @Eklund
heard keith yandle may be in play...surprising...really surprising

Seriously Eklund? In the last five minutes you're pulling this shit?

 

[Milly79]

Rolston to Bruins?

 

[Acid08]

Howson still apparently demanding Couture+ for Nash. What a fucking idiot.

 

[vatstep]

Rolston a Bruin again. Well, okay.

 

[Socreges]

I thought Rolston had retired.

Wasn't he on waivers ? LOL

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Why are we picking up a center, that's the one position where we're overstocked anyway, with Henrik, Kes, Hodgson, Malhotra, Lapierre who has to play wing and Ebbet who's injured... You guys say two 4th round picks isn't bad (it's true, i couldn't care less about those picks), but the cap hit is what matters in this trade. Where are we gonna get a depth D for 2.0M...

You can never have too many centres. But with Lapierre and Malhotra as defensive centres, I wonder why they needed to get one more.

 

[Solo]

Deadline over. All we have left now are the last minute deals which will come within the next hour or so.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

I'm disappointed that we lost Muhammed Aulie (destroyer of scrubs like Hartnell). On the other hand we have such ridiculous depth on defense now that a top pairing guy like Aulie from last season couldn't even get into our lineup this time.

 

[Sanjuro]

My copy of NHL Faceoff is relevant again!?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

More like Brian Rental. From Jersey to Boston to Jersey and Boston again...

I'm scratching my head at that too. I don't get where he'll slot in.

 

[BigJonsson]

Rolston eh

 

[alexthekid]

Who the fuck is Pahlsson.


Half eaten-bag of popcorn.

he used to be a really really solid defensive centerman, The way i remember it was that he was a big part om the Stanley cup in Anaheim. but it might be since he is Swedish.

[ActStriker]

he cleared waivers today

Seriously. I'm sure Nash genuinely believed Columbus was going to turn things around and he wanted to be a part of that for the long-term.

 

[toro5741]

GOOD RIDDANCE

 

[Milly79]

gaustad to Nashville

 

[BigJonsson]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

 

[KernelPanic]

Who would say no that contract offer ? No legit team would offer that much money.

 

[DopeyFish]

bah

 

[Giard]

Well that was a shitty trade deadline.
Hope there's something that'll happen afterwards...

 

[Stet]

This just in: James Reimer traded to Columbus in return for help tying Burke's tie back up.

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Gaustad to Nashville? Cup run confirmed! Blowing their load now! Suter to Flyers July 1! (E15!)

 

[ZeroGravity]

Nashville looking good right now.

 

[Razorskin]

8 trades?

 

[SpectreFire]

You can never have too many centres. But with Lapierre and Malhotra as defensive centres, I wonder why they needed to get one more.

I guess a Lapierre-Malhotra-Pahlsson shutdown line does look pretty good.

Also, looks like Chris Tanev's going to stick with the team now if they didn't get another defenseman.

 

[Socreges]

Gaustad to Preds

Sucks that some Western teams got stronger, if only a little bit

 

[Marvie_3]

8 trades?

So far.

 

[BigJonsson]

haha tsn is practically begging people to keep watching for more trades
