Saturday March 10th. 1:00pm game.

Probably because he expects the fools in our local media to ask him ridiculous questions.

I'm looking forward to people bitching when Lehner walks for nothing because they're not going to qualify him and no one wants to trade for the right to do the same.

Right. They never talked extension with him. He was always getting traded and never coming back.

I'd rather have San Jose sign him...

Lol what were you expecting?

Aye. I suppose I could have inferred that. :lol:

Amen.

It helps to be dealing from a position of strength. Tampa has been good to great for a while now and I think that makes a difference. A good team is inherently made of players other teams are more willing to acquire in trade, and so they do.

I love this stuff. Like you know he didn't try any of those things.

Yup. I'm disappointed we weren't able to get anything else done today, but I'm also wholly unsurprised.

Grateful you are here in this time of unrest.

Nemestnikov is a nice pickup for the Rangers.

Yeah but if he walked away he'd look tough! TOUGH. :rolleyes:

Can't you just let people be irrationally mad at Botterill in peace?

What's he really gonna do? We have nothing to offer. I guess he could trade picks away to build up the pipeline with prospects but that's more of an offseason/draft day trade thing. It's a waiting game right now. Waiting to see what our prospects do, waiting to see what the current roster players do. Waiting for Housley's system to take hold. I'm a pretty impatient person but I can't find myself worrying too much about Botterill yet. This team is a dumpster fire and I wouldn't want to be him. He might be good, but I doubt he's a wizard.

Yup.

Oh christ.

This is why I had San Jose picked to take him all along. Because I look at their roster and I can only see Kane bringing upside to it, where a lot of other teams may not see that play out. The Sharks are slow and need scoring more than any other contender out west. Kane fits them well.

Yup.

Who knows.

It's right on the line for me. The conditional first makes it tolerable.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Feelin bad for everyone who got their hopes up.

Yup. And I think we got exactly what we should have expected to get for him.

It would appear that NHL GM's don't agree with you.
