NHL Smarch 2015 |OT| Toronto is tanking on purpose this time.

I agree. I think a 2nd pairing is a very good spot for him and for the price it's a great deal for the Habs.
Ultimately the Oilers would have liked to resign him but that wasn't going to happen. I can't blame players for wanting to get out of that organization.
Man you must be so jaded. Not getting McDavid or Eichell, not making the playoffs, and MacKinnon is a potential bust.

I feel horrible about that name. Naming your kid an alternate spelling of your own name should qualify as child abuse.

MacKinnon is having a lesser sophomore year? UNHEARD OF!
:lol yeah, Mackinnon is no bust.

Hahhahahahaha.
While I'm deflated, it's not as if our team is one guy, it does hurt our chances but I'm still hopeful we can get it together without him

This what came of that night with the pictures?
When I think about it since Burke came over I don't think Anaheim and Toronto have made a trade that didn't benefit both sides.
We are best buds!!

With the Flyers two firsts, I hope they draft Rantanen and Svechnikov 
. We need some big, fast, skilled wingers.
. We need some big, fast, skilled wingers.Well for the draft pick to improve they have to make the cup finals :/
Long shot but yea I guess
McGuire just said on TSN radio that there were a lot of rumours from credible people across the league today that Bergevin was trying really hard to get Anisimov out of Columbus. Really? We need a sniper, not another middling top 6 tweener....

I'm so torn on Lovejoy departing.
Bob Murray gets GM of the year for trading Heatley, Brewer and Borque alone.

I like the Baertschi deal. I'd rather take a chance on him than a 45th overall pick. Change of scenery might be exactly what he needs.
He is?
He's one of the players I wanted DW to get in the offseason before he made it clear it would be the worst offseason to ever happen.
Slim pickings.

This season has gone mostly how I predicted it would. Admittedly I did think we would ultimately grab a playoff spot after fighting tooth and nail for it but I can't really say I'm disappointed by this year in terms of performance. We've addressed none of our issues and I am disappointed by that because I really don't think Siemens/Bigras are going to come save us from oblivion when they're even ready. That said I haven't watched much of either of them this year so.
For a team that relies so much on the defence providing offence, losing Giordano is a real kick in the nuts. Now that Backlund is back and healthy, that kid needs to step up if Calgary has any chance.

I kinda upset about the Baertschi deal, however I knew it was going to happen anyways. He rubbed Burke the wrong way, and Hartley apparently, they put him in the minors to motivate him but it didn't really work out. When he was called up he looked great but his role was limited, they really just didn't want to give him a chance. Happy for him, pretty pissed its to the Canucks though.
Certainly worth the gamble. It seems way too early to give up on him. I'm kinda curious why Calgary did.

Not saying that it isn't going to hurt us, but really at the end of the day it's one player, its unfortunate that its the damn tent pole player, but I'm not gonna go and say the season is over like I just did an hour ago when I first found out. Shit...it happened in the last 30 seconds of a game we weren't going to lose too, fuck fuck fuck fuckity fuck. It sucks, real bad.
If he doesn't come out of this sophomore slump, definitely.
He's being played on 3rd line right now.

Burke came in and was indifferent to him because of his size, I know there were interactions in which he upset Burke and then he was sent down, then I heard that Hartley was questioning his two way play, Burke actually said he doesnt think he can play anything but offense IIRC. He never got a fair crack when he made out lineup this year, like zero PP time, and then we ices Stajan on the PP who does absolutely nothing, when in the same game Sven shows total competency all around the ice. Really had me steamed though.
I'm gonna say its probably a big win for Vancouver with Sven, not a total loss for us because our organization never believed in him, it's gonna suck when he lights us up in the future T_T
Giordanos Norris bid
Hopefully he is still considered.What were the Sedins doing at his age?

Yeah this is what I don't get. A playoff team adds to their bottom six, but the Sharks got rid of three depth players and got Ben Smith in return. Is someone coming back from injury? Prospects in the minors ready to step up?
This looks to me like a retooling to keep the team competitive without touching their core, which is usually done in the off-season because those depth players are useful for a playoff run.

Tabris, what's the designer drug version of huffing nail polish remover and why do you do so much of it?
In their 2nd year, Sedins got to go to the playoffs. And Henrik scored 3 goals in 6 games. Something Nathan MacKinnon won't be able to do

I am really glad that Treliving didn't pull a dumbass move and try and bulk us up for a playoff push though. No damn sense in that, what we have is working now and I would have been pretty pissed if he traded any prospect not named Sven.
As it stands we have 6 picks in the top 80 this draft, not too shabby.
