Me too. You could see flashes of talent there but Q never gave him much of a shot this year. Not getting my hopes too high on him though.
Thats what I think too. Price was probably too high to ditch him.
Im guessing Hossa will be a Coyote next year.

If the Leafs give up two 1st for Hamonic somebody's gonna need to call 911
Dorion's strategy: Surround Karlsson with 22 other local Ottawa boys.
Yeah. I wonder if theyve got anything else in the works.
Bergevin: 👀

Giroux in play? Would've been news 5 years ago.

Man I hope they dont trade Giroux to some shit team. I love that guy.
Swear to holy jesus if he gets traded to the Wild I would probably freak out. It doesnt make sense to do so, but it would be amazing.
Traded for Stepan, a goalie, and a partner for OEL. Still upset?
You were shitting on the Coyotes for not having a 1c and a goalie, are you just an unreasonable hater?

They're not trading him for the sake of trading him. If we can't get what we need, he may still be here come October.

I wouldn't be against that for the right piece on D but I dunno if Hamonic is that.
4 straight years of declining production.
Getting old.
5 more years.
Albatross contract.
Stay. The. Fuck. Away. Bergevin.
4 hours later......
"The Montreal Canadiens have traded F Alex Galchenyuk, F Max Pacioretty, and a 2018 1st for Claude Giroux (Philly retains 0% salary")

Same. He's been on a (steepish?) decline the past couple of seasons but it's hard to believe this was the best return he could've gotten.
Twitter insiders are over, it's the age of instagram insiders now.

Somebody on Snapchat sent me a dick pic that said JVR 4 HAMONIC on the shaft.
Exactly what moves that they've done give you the idea they've completely lost the script?

Probably guy from Death Grips.
Hes declined a tiny bit but I wouldnt call it steep. When you take the amount of punishment he does, its go to take its toll eventually. Hammer is 30 now so I feel he has some good years left but its only a matter of time until it catches up to him.
I dunno, couldn't fit Van Riemsdyk on there?
Depends on the font size and spacing.....much like my papers in college.

Will be a scandallous trade
Could you link your Instagram source please?

Yeah I mean this year especially he had a lot of defensive lapses that are uncharacteristic of him and he was particularly brutal towards the end and into the playoffs. A declining Hjalmarsson is still a solid #2 or #3 on most teams but I think it's pretty clear he's lost a step lately. Even with that said he was probably the most reliable d man on the team and I don't see how Murphy and Dauphin fit into the mix on an already crappy blue line.

It's an instagram of a Tweet that's a Snapchat of a link in a Slack channel to a Periscope feed. Hand on I'll find it...
Well Dauphin doesnt fit on the blue line because he's a center.
To be fair to Hammer, most of the defense had those lapses. The Keith/Hammer pairing never really worked except on paper. They never seemed to quite click the way Seabs/Keith did as a pair.
Seabrook and TVR/Oduya was a mess and mistakes are expected from rookies.
Seabrook and Kempny were great together. Keith and TVR were really good last year.
Chicagos defensive pairings never really made sense all year and it showed.
- Signing Matt Martin
- Protecting Matt Martin in an expansion draft and losing a pretty promising prospect
- A ton of rumours last year that they were looking into Russell
- Playing Ben Smith
- Bringing back Roman Polak and Hunwick
- Drafting some completely useless D-men last year purely based on size who will 100% bust.
- Nikita Zaitsev contract
OK you've listed Martin moves twice. He's not egregiously bad.
Russell rumors are just that -- rumors...take them with a grain of salt. Leafs didn't sign Russell so have no idea how this is a mark against management?
Ben Smith - talk to Babcock.
Polak & Hunwick although bad in the early part of the season were actually not that bad down the stretch.
Zaitsev -- what's wrong with locking up Zaitsev to a 4.5 cap hit? Reasonable for a guy on the 2nd pair.
Hunwick -- cheaper than Phaneuf.

Didnt you know everyone on gaf has 10in or more come on bruhhh
I won't be shocked if Matt Martin gets bought out before the last year of his deal. Leafs are gonna be in a massive cap crunch in 2019-2020 and will need all the space they can get
I also wouldn't put much into the Russell rumors from last year, I thought that was confirmed to be complete BS from his agent to up his value.
