    I'm a bit confused, but I guess they like his leadership? Maybe appreciated his Olympic experience? Oh well. Also Wingels. Totally missed that we traded Vatrano away earlier in the week, too, Florida got him for a 3rd. Lots of incoming bottom 6 depth. :D Sweeney Don is tinkering...

    Krejci is a better playmaker than any of the centers that Nash has played with, as far as I can recall. Also gets those 2nd and 3rd line d pairings. Doesn't have great playoff numbers (41 pts in 77, +7), but he's rounding out our scoring, not expected to do the majority of it like he was at...

    Definitely. I think you can get more, for sure.

    Absolutely. Not easy to get that type of consistent scoring, and a bit of leadership, especially when you get another year at 4.5M (obviously a steal at current market). - - - Updated - - - Definitely going to be hard to get any type of established first line centre. Pretty much the...

    Sergio, you thought you'd get less than what is nearly a high 2nd round pick (Boston may even finish 1st in the league), a 7th, Spooner (who is a tweener lightweight sub-par 2nd line centre that they've moved to wing on the 2nd/3rd) and a totally unproven prospect in Lindgren? And Beleskey...

    It is a lot, given he's likely a rental, and how Nash has produced the past couple of years. Some of that lower production is because the Rangers have been pretty garbage, though. Looking at it a little closer, and part of this looks like a salary dump, to me. Got some young guys coming...

    :D And you gotta know that I consider you a devout and absolute Habs fan, brother. The best kind. I was totally kidding. We’re cut from the same cloth, in that sense. All about loyalty. Pick our teams when we’re young — or have family pick them for us — and that’s it. Til’ death do us...

    I'm glad we had this talk. Jeez, it's not like I'm asking you to sell your soul, and cheer for the Pats. Well, just as long as you're not a Canucks fan, I guess. :P

    If he's been able to bring himself to watch many of the games this year... I'm pretty sure he's well past the defecation stage. :D The Seattle situation seems so strange. Key arena is 55 years old, and they're going to pump 600M into it? But wouldn't make the necessary steps to keep the...

    Well that's better than expected! I wasn't expecting any respects. :D At this point, I'm pretty sure Sergio is getting ready to defect. :P In all seriousness, I'm pulling for your team to turn it around. I always want to see the great rivalry matchups mean something; love those fierce...

    I know it's been excruciating for you boys the past couple of seasons. So many bad decisions... very obviously bad decisions by management (especially the 2 easily mentioned ones), I know it's pretty hard to stomach. Before this season I still considered Price the best goalie in the world...

    :rab: Also, that's what I just texted to my buddy CB. :D New found motivation, and two centremen who are literally as good as it gets. Should be a fun team to watch!

    The fox is in the henhouse, I repeat, the fox is in the hen house. I'm going to need you to go ahead and end Sweeney Dons reign of terror, Serge. Any means necessary type of operation. That contract Dougie signed was totally reasonable, given what's going around the league. Disgusting.

    The situation is totally absurd. Obviously different, but reminds me of when O'Connell traded Thornton in the sense that the next day he was all "I had a dream last night that I traded Joe Thornton", and the rest of the GM's in the league were like, "wait, Joe Thornton was available?" GMs...

    We also had our Joe Thornton trade. And our Tyler Seguin trade. The Johnny Boychuk deal? Just another terrible fucking deal, Sweeney is trying to drive me into an early grave. Love Dougie. Absolutely love him, he's a class act all the way, developing so well... with so much more room...

    Yeah, I'm pretty gutted over here boys. As if losing Carlitos, and Andrea wasn't enough. Stubborn about the bridge deal. More ego in the front office. 3 first round picks is about the last thing I want for a rookie GM. Anyway, shitty day -- have a good night, lads.

    :D Sergio, I'm so sorry about that. It was a crazy period, and I was trying to be there for family, friends weddings, plus do the travel thing... I don't think I actually got settled down until October. Ireland, Victoria, Vancouver, Pender Island, Toronto, Kitchener/Waterloo, Kingston...

    Fuck, that's a rough one, boys. Prey that your team can channel the 2010 Philadelphia Flyers (or that TB channels the B's?). :P
