Yak.

PLEASE BE A HAB

MB DIDNT SAY WE WERE DONE YET

 

[DopeyFish]

HAHAHAHAHA

oilers are the gift that keep on giving

they acquired maroon for a pick and prospect

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Patrick Maroon to Edmonton

 

[Smiley90]

Hey look ITS FUCKING NOTHING

 

[zroid]

Maroon is pretty good...

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Oh damn, gonna miss Patty Maroon :-(

But I guess with Perron clicking and getting Pirri and McGinn there wouldn't be room for Maroon. He's had an off year this year. Hopefully he the a it around in Edmonton, where careers take off.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Lol good thing he won't play again until September!

All the more reason why Yzerman shouldn't - and didn't - force a deal now.

You act like players have never come back to play after extended time off. At least in Drouin's case he can still skate and work out everyday, something players with long term injuries don't have the luxury of.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

It's not Yak to MTL....

*sigh*

 

[Yawnier]

Craig Button is already trashing the Pat Maroon trade for the oilers. Saying he won't keep up with McDavid

Lmaoooo

Hey look ITS FUCKING NOTHING

Our season in a nutshell.

 

[DopeyFish]

The only moves I care about:

kinda funny how a Leafs internal transaction is the biggest transaction on the trade deadline

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Our season in a nutshell.

What about that Shinkaruk trade? >:

 

[Razorskin]

Flames also have a pending deal..

 

[Quick]

Bless it.

Though, I didn't really want to see them up with this mess, but with the lineup gutted, it might actually be good to give them a taste of the NHL now.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

it was the only thing exciting really.

Nylander vs Potential Future Leafs Captain.

 

[Socreges]

Well, it is for starved Leafs fans

 

[Razorskin]

You sound like Ken Holland right now.

 

[DopeyFish]

Bless it.

if they really are burning his year, then it's essentially confirmed Marner is playing on the Leafs next year, no?

Well, it is for starved Leafs fans

nah, it's more of a jab towards the fairly low quality of the players traded today

 

[zroid]

That was never in doubt

although apparently it was confirmed that today's call ups won't be playing the rest of the season

sounds to me like a 9 game cap

 

[Razorskin]

Brad Treliving: "BIG BODY x 10"

LET ME EAT, SOC.

sounds to me like protecting themselves from Nylander destroying their draft position

One more: Corey Tropp to Anaheim for Tim Jackman and a 2017 7th round pick. #TradeCentre

[Dubbedinenglish]

Hudler, Purcell still getting Visa stuff sorted, they'll play in WPG and meet the team in COL after.

 

[Socreges]

It'd be very stupid for them to burn an entire year over 20 games. Must just be 9.

Fair

Lol get real

Fair

i believe the Leafs didn't want to have Nylander and Marner (and potentially our first this year) negotiating their 2nd contract at the same time, that's why they burn the year. Because these players are elite offensive prospects, they could potentially force a big contract on to the Leafs. Shaving the year off can potentially make Nylander's RFA years more manageable too.

 

[zroid]

in fairness they wouldn't actually burn a year of control with 20 games, just an ELC year, which is probably much less important. Swap 1 year of ELC for RFA basically

but I'd be surprised if they played more than 9 anyways

 

[CosmicQueso]

Sakic and Roy did Tanguay fucking dirty. Man this sucks. Boedker isn't even good.

You should try watching hockey sometime. Maybe you'd be able to tell who is good and who isn't.

Coyote tank job in full effect.

Makes sense

Leafs official Blonde Idol.

[MetatronM]

This would be my face if I was told I was traded to the Oilers, too.

lawd

LOL that's amazing. GG Benning.

 

[Smiley90]

lawd

I fucking knew it

Fucking Jim Benning

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Wow...just...wow...

Oh yeah? Is that why Conner bleackley is the highlight of the return he got? Though as far as what Arizona has, yeah he's a regular McDavid.

Everything is relative. But look at the guys around Boedker this year. He's got great speed and handles the puck well, but the rest of the lines he's been on don't inspire fear.

He's definitely a top 6 forward and will do a lot for the Avs. A lot more than a 36 year old Tanguay would have done. So I'm not sure what you're pissed about.

 

[Yawnier]

lawd

Wow. He got too greedy.

 

[RC]

lawd

Trade Jim Benning.

 

[Foggy]

Boone Jenner got a bridge deal. 2 years, 2.9 per

 

[Socreges]

lawd

I don't know if I trust Dreger.

But I do know I fucking hate Jim Benning.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

lawd

Jim Benning is a fucking idiot

 

[Cake Boss]

Don't know who's worse, Benning or All Bran.

 

[zroid]

I also feel bad for Dallas fans, they miss out on Hamhuis and end up with Russell

yuck

 

[CreeperBlocks]

HOLY SHIT Bergevin looks awful

 

[Pikma]

 

[Yawnier]

Marc Bergevin looks so old

 

[Razorskin]

HOLY SHIT Bergevin looks awful

That's a great beard...


Marc Bergevin is the Revenant.

He'll be trade bait next year.

And yeah I wouldn't expect a Coyotes fan to understand what it's like to lose someone important to the franchise, especially when it means he'll retire as a fucking Coyote.
