The Avs make awful trades, Dallas doubles down and takes the most overrated dman available and then still over pays for him... I'm thrilled we signed Buff, I am, but I can't even imagine what the return on him as a rental would have been.

Benn, Seguin, and 15 1st round picks.

Literally the only useful thing Winnipeg has done. Thanks for keeping Buff weighed down by the shittiness of Winnipeg.

PAP is still not traded....


:lol

 

[Curufinwe]

"If team makes conference final" is a pretty ok condition though. I mean realistically it's most likely not happening, and if it happens then the trade worked well enough to get them there.

They should have put a CF% condition on there for Russell, too. Maybe 47%, which would be three points higher than his Calgary number.

 

[Cake Boss]

A crappy rental dman got more back than a 1 year of a PPG #1 centre in Spezza.

ALLLLL BRANNNNNNNN

"If team makes conference final" is a pretty ok condition though. I mean realistically it's most likely not happening, and if it happens then the trade worked well enough to get them there.

Or maybe that they could have gotten there without making a trade at all

Russell isn't really going to help their defence so that would probably be the case

who knows though, maybe he scores a bunch of goals, then I'm sure they'll take it

 

[imBask]

you're all wrong though, Dallas is totally making it to the CF this year

PAPA BLESS PIKMA

Tangs got sent to the great big glue factory in the sky, terrible is not the word I'd use to describe the trade.

:lol

Leafs fans got their hopes up too high when they were thinking 1st rounder.

 

[Tabris]

Is there something illegal to do something like:

"OK Hamhuis we'll re-sign you in the off season, but since we aren't as competitive this year, we want to get some trade value to help us next year - Mind going to Boston for 20 games?"

Essentially back door handshake agreement.

 

[Syrinx]

Caps have less than an hour before their big acquisition is Daniel Winnik.

 

[HadesGigas]

Yeah the base trade seems a bit bad, i just don't mind conditions like that.

Though it is Dallas, so it's not like it could actually hurt their defense.

 

[Red_Man]

We'll give Emelin away for a 5th round pick Jesus Christ Dallas

 

[Smiley90]

If Russel gets a first, can we get two firsts from Boston for Hamhuis?

Can someone post one of those chart pics for Russel vs Hamhuis?

 

[Socreges]

*twiddles thumbs*

 

[imBask]

bro, Emelin is worth a 1st pick now, this is good

 

[ShinRPGamer]

I wonder if we'll even reach double digits before the deadline passes?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Caps have less than an hour before their big acquisition is Daniel Winnik.

Our big Acquisition is Mike Brown.

AND WE DIDN'T EVEN TRADE FOR HIM!

IS THIS A JOKE?

IS THIS A JOKE?

No i'm Serious is THIS a JOKE?

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

Dallas... wtf terrible trade.

That conditional.. so bad.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

 

[Socreges]

If Russel gets a first, can we get two firsts from Boston for Hamhuis?

I was doing that comparison earlier. Not flattering for Russell.

Hopefully someone out there knows Hamhuis' worth. And hopefully Benning isn't clenching too hard.

 

[imBask]

so if you're Vancouver, why wouldn't you ask AT LEAST a 1st for Hamhuis? this is so stupid

 

[Socreges]

so if you're Vancouver, why wouldn't you ask AT LEAST a 1st for Hamhuis? this is so stupid

I suspect that's why the trade hasn't happened yet. No one's keen on giving up a 1st. Last year they were thrown around like candy

 

[DopeyFish]

Caps have less than an hour before their big acquisition is Daniel Winnik.

They're in it to winnik

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Less than an hour and Liles is likely the only other piece Francis might move (unless we get more AHL-level talent being swapped). Given our blue line depth, I don't expect JML to be re-signed, but I could also see there being little to no market for him. He's played well, but not well enough for someone to take on that $3.7M cap hit.

Sellers that haven't done anything: Columbus, Buffalo, New Jersey, Ottawa..


Devils did trade Gelinas tho

 

[Red_Man]

Terrible deadline. Everyone is giving in to Chicago, just give them the cup and let's get to the draft already.

Fuck that

Ovi gonna get his token cup this year.

 

[ryan299]

mcKenzie says the Pens are in on Hamhuis which is just stupid to me.

 

[yyzjohn]

Once Price is back you'll be fine.

 

[Razorskin]

When do Canucks fans turn on Hamhuis for handcuffing the team from trading him?

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Oh yeah, the Oilers claimed someone from the Canucks off waivers. He must be desperate to stay relevant in the NHL if he's excited to play for the Oilers.

 

[Curufinwe]

It's pretty shitty when he's a UFA. A professional hockey player should be able to handle a few months living on the road.

 

[Yawnier]

mcKenzie says the Pens are in on Hamhuis which is just stupid to me.

Well he also said that Hamhuis probably won't waive his NTC to go there. Same thing with Boston too.

I get the impression Hamhuis only wants to go to Chicago, LA, Dallas or bust.

Dat Full NTC

 

[MetatronM]

Go away again

 

[ryan299]

Pirri to ducks for a 6th

 

[iLLmAtlc]

If you're referring to Kesler some people hated that "I want out, but only to 1 team" shit >_>

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Once Price is back you'll be fine.

I wanted to get rid of Eller/Emelin today for a LW or Rychel



Guess we gotta wait at the draft =/

 

[zroid]

Pirri for a 6th?!

 

[Tabris]

I really think we should re-sign Hamhuis. We don't want to become like EDM doing rebuild with no defence leading to a losing culture.

Keep Hamhuis playing here for next 4-5 years into retirement.

EDIT: RYAN KESLER IS A LOSER AND I HOPE HE NEVER WINS ANYTHING.

 

[Razorskin]

Ken Holland is surely wheeling and dealing like he does every deadline. Surely some good talents he'll pick up off the IR.

 

[Samyy]

Wow Pirri so cheap?
Wdf
RIP out PAP dreams

 

[Red_Man]

Pirri for a 6th round pick?

What the fuck is going on today

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Today will forever be known as the day Tanguay was executed in front of the rest of the troops to improve morale.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Can we trade for Dan Cleary for John Scott and Mike Brown?

 

[Cake Boss]

Pirri for a 6th?!

The fuck? how does Bob Murray do it.

You stupid ass AllBran missed the boat. You just said you needed a center.

 

[Razorskin]

Pirri to ducks for a 6th

Best Murray can fucking fleece.

 

[yyzjohn]

I've never been a fan of selling low on your players. Wait until Price gets back, makes the entire team look better and then deal from a position of strength. It'l take you into next season but so be it.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

Pirri to ducks for a 6th

how the fuck does that happen

pirri done for season?

 

[Red_Man]

So we pick up Brown off waivers

But won't give a 6th pick away for Pirri

OK
