So busy at work. No time for this mayhem

Benning hasn't made a trade anywhere close to whats happened today

I agree. Today is insane, my internet was really slow, I'm half convinced someone got into my network and is just fucking with me.

EVERYONE TUNE IN TO TSN 690. CRYING CALLERS BWAHAHAHAHAHA


YUSSSSSSS

I seriously have no idea what station I should listen to on my commute back home. So many choices.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

@travisyost: Team executive just now: "They should've called us -- we easily put together a better package than Adam Larsson for Taylor Hall."

LOLOLOL

Holy shit that Stamkos money is great. Why would he leave that much cash on the table?

I'm guessing taxes. Tsn had an article today that if he made 10 in Toronto he'd only get 3.9.

 

[ActStriker]

lol Habs

Stamkos staying wut

and

CHIARELLI STRIKES AGAIN

 

[Crazymoogle]

Welp

This is going to be interesting when I take my kid to the PK Subban wing of the hospital

 

[DopeyFish]

lol half the cap tracking sites are down

Can I trade Adam McQuaid for a top five talent?

I'm convinced they waited to release @PKSubban1 news until there was no danger of PMJT crying on stage in front of the American president.

heheheheh

Seriously, can't choose between Habs tears or Leafs tears with the recent Stamkos news.

 

[Razorskin]

That's a terrible trade holy fuck. Fuck you Bergy

 

[Merguson]

On the downside, it kills the whole "Stamkos Watch" thing on July 1st which would have been entertaining as fuck. Ah well.

 

[DopeyFish]

Seriously, can't choose between Habs tears or Leafs tears with the recent Stamkos news.

Leafs fans don't care as much. Leafs have the backup in Tavares

 

[Cake Boss]

LOLOLOL

What a dumbass GM, he should be the one thats seeking out top players and making calls.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

I get stuck in an afternoon meeting for 4 hours and all hell breaks loose in the NHL

the only question I have is, WHAT THE FUCK ARE MONTREAL AND EDMONTON THINKING

Also, I fucking called it on stamkos

 

[JABEE]

The Canadiens trade is somehow worse than the Oilers trade. I don't know it's hard to say.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Holy shit that Stamkos money is great. Why would he leave that much cash on the table?

Return to a strong team that lost in the Cup Final a year ago and took the eventual Cup winner this year to a 7th game in the ECF.

In other words: his best chance for getting his name on Lord Stanley's Cup is staying where he is. At least compared to the options (those teams with serious interest who could also afford him).

 

[Solo]

I hate to say I told you so in this case, but I told you so, Red: everyone in the Montreal franchise hated Subban for some reason and today proves it

 

[ryan299]

I'd fire both gm's right away if I owned the Habs or Oilers.

 

[demosthenes]

Okposo angry that Stamkos only signed for 8.5?

 

[Calamari41]

Oh boy time to go back and search through the thread to find out what the fuck just happened

 

[Simon Belmont]

I'm guessing taxes. Tsn had an article today that if he made 10 in Toronto he'd only get 3.9.

Nobody is taxed 65%+ of their income in Ontario.

 

[Cat Party]

Lol Oilers

Lol Habs

Lol Leafs (sort of)

You know the Canucks are going to try to one up this.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Seriously, can't choose between Habs tears or Leafs tears with the recent Stamkos news.

What Leaf tears...? I never thought we had much chance ans the most logical was for him to remain. I'm fine with that now that we have cap space to use to take on more shitty contracts for cap space and prospects and space to keep our young players.

 

[imBask]

he better have the biggest fucking trade prepared for a #1 forward

 

[demosthenes]

Nobody is taxed 65%+ of their income in Ontario.

That 3.9 is probably USD.

Montreal's management is probably on drugs. Edmonton's management consists of nothing but complete and utter idiots.

 

[GSG Flash]

Today is better than July 1st, fucking insanity all over the NHL.

 

[Parch]

Taylor Hall was probably a cancer in the locker room.
You heard it here first.

You're hardly first. That's been rumored for years. High school cliques in the locker room have a lot to do with the Oilers lack of success.

It's still ridiculous return for a proven 80 point player, but I had a sense that it's been extremely difficult to trade for defencemen in this league. I figured the Oilers were going to have to overpay.

Throw it on the pile of ridiculous decisions by Oiler management, but at this point I'm not surprised. What else is new. I gave up on this team years ago.

 

[zroid]

TSN690 is my life blood

 

[calder]

Yzerman finally said fuck it and showed Steven the photos he took of Stammer stuffing that dead hobo into the trunk of his car.

 

[Fata1moose]

I'm frightened now, who knows what dumb shit Roykic want to pull after these stunts.

I wonder what we offered to Montreal for Subban, it had to be better than this.

Sure, but if that's what you want then why would it have taken this long?

 

[Wingfan19]

Hey guys, just got back from lunch what'd I...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STAMKOS!!!! You were the chosen one!!!

 

[DopeyFish]

That 3.9 is probably USD.

Canadian players are paid in USD

 

[Sanjuro]

Taylor Hall was probably a cancer in the locker room.

You heard it here first.

Did someone say cancer?

 

[Razorskin]

When can I expect the Nordiques to be in the league?

 

[Line_HTX]

Edmonton and Montreal...

They really believe they're playing a video game!

DOH-HOHOHOHO!!

 

[Yawnier]

Shit do I listen Overdrive, or Edmonton or Montreal radio right now?

Idk its tough

 

[BigJonsson]

So they can cancel the July 1st shows, right?

 

[ActStriker]

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 6m6 minutes ago
FYI that there was NO salary retained in Subban-Weber blockbuster. Straight up contract for contract.

ayy

 

[Cake Boss]

What Leaf tears...? I never thought we had much chance ans the most logical was for him to remain. I'm fine with that now that we have cap space to use to take on more shitty contracts for cap space and prospects and space to keep our young players.

lol sorry I should have mentioned its 'Leafs media tears' . Toronto media has been pushing the stamcock watch forever now and it feels amazing that their wishes wasn't granted.

If you guys are done with the Oilers tears, here is some to keep you busy with

[Line_HTX]

That means this was one for one also like Edmonton's?!

AHAHAHAHAHAAA

 

[Fata1moose]

Montreal fans are welcome to hop on the Avalanche pity wagon. We have Roy.

 

[demosthenes]

Canadian players are paid in USD

Ah, hmm, no idea then. That seems too low.

Buffalo radio: I'd rather have Shea Weber any day of the week over Subban. :lol

 

[ryan299]

Good contract for TB. Don't believe Stamkos' contract is insurable so they could've got bit in the ass if it was more and he gets another blood clot.

 

[Sanjuro]

ayy

It's like someone spammed Canada with a fake salary tax loophole email.

 

[megachao24]

When can I expect the Nordiques to be in the league?

2017-18 at the earliest, dependent on how the CoyotesHurricanes situation turns out.
