When their job is on the line GMs make panic trades to help their team. He's probably praying to god that Erat will help the Caps get into the playoffs and that his job will be saved. What a fleecing, god damn.

And goes to Washington, in the exact same situation.
hes going to fit in so well there
This is making even less sense for WSH. You'd think NSH would have little leverage.
McPhee making a panic move. Damn, I wish Bergevin had been able to snag Forsberg.

Lol fucking rangers! O hope they miss the playoffs and BJs get in!
Loluongo stuck in Vancouver forever.
O'Byrne is a depth signing, but at least he want paying a crazy high price.
Bishop to Tampa was a brilliant move by Ott AND they get a good young player too...all for what was originally a 2nd red pick

So that's pretty much a wrap on Gardiner playing this year barring an injury.
I'd expect going into next season he'll be in the top 4 but for this year nope.
The team has definitely gone in the direction of making the playoffs and trying to make some noise. Seems for now they don't want to deal with some of his growing pains.

For Leafs fans - O'Byrne was most successful with us when paired with Liles. May be something to look for if he ever gets serious minutes with you. He's been fucking atrocious this season though. Biiig part of our problem.
Fits in perfectly in that Washington locker room.

I hope that is the plan and that it pans out.

Murray is pulling some next level prescient shit in his trades.
Turris, Methot and now Conacher.
When you think of rebuild attempts from teams who have given up on this year, Buffalo did extremely well compared to Calgary.
What Buffalo got for Pominville and Regehr is miles better than what Calgary got for Iginla and Bouwmeester. And Calgary is going to get squat to show for Kiprusoff.
Calgary fails big time at the rebuild so far.

That's because they waited way too long to do it. I'm surprised Pominville got such a big return, especially with that 1st rounder added.

Oh shit, we recalled Brett Connolly. If he can actually live up to his expectations, this might ease the pain of losing Conacher slightly.
Really? What a joke, Gardiner had some sick break out passes when I saw him.
Plus giving players a NTC can really screw up trade value. Teams should always try to avoid those NTC.
A good portion of the fanbase wants to fire him. Ever since Pegula came to town, Regier has been "winning" all his trades.

Ha!
I'm pretty sure 5 of their 6 D have NTC / NMC clauses :lol :lol that was before Bouwmeester left though

He also gave Stafford a nice new big contract and signed Leino and Meyers to really bad contracts.
In what has to be one of the shorter stints in the AHL this year, JT Miller has been recalled from the Connecticut Whale. He is apparently out of the lineup tonight, though.
Brassard is en route to New York and may arrive in time to play tonight. Clowe sounds like he will be in the lineup.
If I had to guess at lines tonight, I imagine they must look something like this:
Nash-Stepan-Callahan
Hagelin-Richards-Zuccarello
Clowe-Brassard-Pyatt
Asham-Boyle-Powe

I know this is hindsight, but if the Canucks had stuck with Luongo in Game 3 against LA (or even went back to him in Game 4 down 3-0) they would've lost the series, Schneider would've been signed and traded (or offersheeted), and the Canucks wouldn't be in this situation at all.
It would've meant losing Schneider for picks ($4M offer sheet would've netted a 1st and a 3rd).

They should have asked for Read plus a pick if they wanted a serious discussion.
He had 4 teams with serious offers brah, that's why Lu is almost crying stuck in Vancouver.
LOL Nonis looks so desperate, he fucked up last summer when he was asking for too much from florida, tampa and toronto/

So now we have turned down a great defenseman and possibly a big time goalie for him. He better turn out to be a super star after all this garbage.
You quoted the wrong post and said nonis instead of gillis right? How cakebossed are you right now?
Oh wait NEVERMIND you're only half cakebossed at most
You keep repeating that, but Nashville wanted him and B Schenn and more for Weber.
Nope!

Liles O'Byrne
Fraser Franson
There is zero chance that we'll break up the one D pairing we have that have been consistently solid.
Like I said Gardiner isn't play much if at all for the rest of this year. Also most likely means no more Kostka too.
Carlyle favours non-developmental players right now. Gardiner for as much offensive upside that he gives us is negated by in Carlyle's eyes the lack of defense he gives us.
But at the same time when Gardiner did play he was paired up with Kostka our worst defenseman so suffered a bit from that.

You don't know whether Forsberg is going to be another 1st round bust. Most likely he will be great but nothing is guaranteed. I'm pretty upset about the trade though. Our whole scouting staff voted to put Forsberg up for trade. I'd like to see what how other prospects did in the 2nd division of Sweden.

How do we know that? Maybe the Flyers could have done Couts and some #1 picks, or some combo like that. It sounds like the Flyers wont trade Couts for some insane reason, so maybe the negotiations never advanced at all. Teams always ask for the moon and then settle for less.
I just took a shot.
Dem fleecing by Murray lately.
Foligno for Methot whose essentially our #1 dman right now.
Rundblad for Turris
Elliot for Anderson
2nd for Bishop
Bishop for Conacher
fleecing

Luongo said it best... "My contract sucks."
It's a salary dump, but the Canucks kept asking for too much. Now they'll have to scramble to get rid of that contract, maybe even a buyout because Vancouver is in serious cap trouble for next season.
Canucks have really screwed up the Luongo situation and now risk getting very little or nothing for him.

How do you know that? Flyers havent had a real good goalie in forever, and maybe Bishop could be that guy. His numbers this year are much better then Bryz's. The Flyers do have some young guys, but they also have a ton of old guys. I am really worried that they are going to be perpetually stuck in this not good enough to compete area. It is 2 years since they got rid of Richards and Carter and they seem to be going backwards.
