I think it's good to get the player's perspective. Danny was a leader on that team and you have to think there might have been some resentment, both on the part of Drury and Briere, as well as the other players that were left with just Vanek after all they'd been through.

It's official: looks like that 5th divorce is happening. I feel better every day that Josie and I have had neither the time nor the money to get married yet. I think after all this time we're not in any danger of splitting up, but it's been really weird watching 5 marriages die in the time we've been dating.

Edmonton could have offered less. We just wouldn't have had to pay that price either.

Right, I think that's what Danny is trying to say. That it would have been smarter to lock he and Drury down during the season and then the Vanek decision would have made itself and the Sabres would have gotten Drury, Briere, and the 4 firsts, instead of just Vanek. They wouldn't have had the option of matching the offer sheet which would have gotten them out of being handcuffed to Vanek.

We should just do that anyway.

I've been to 12 weddings since 2005. 4 have already ended in divorce and 1 may be forthcoming. Josie is wondering if I shouldn't attend our future wedding. Just in case. :unsure:

jajajajaja

This is you just making sh*t up right?

Nailed it :lol:

It was probably a matter of logistics. Housley was probably ready before Botterill, but Botterill didn't want Moulson on the Amerks. So he had to find somewhere to send Matty Mo. Enter the Ontario Reign. I bet that took some convincing, but I expect that agreement was in place before he waived Moulson and all that was left was talking Matt into it.

I think it's supposed to be "Fat man in a little coat", you know, like the Chris Farley thing.

He's legit, but who knows. You know how rumors are.

Any way we can get this thread title updated to something more generic, like 2017-18 Trade Speculation?

I'd rather have Neuvirth too, but it's a tough sell given that we'd immediately have to call Ullmark up for a few weeks. I don't want to mess with the Amerks at all, so Elliott it is. I think this move would mean Ullmark is in the plans for next year. No reason to lock Lehner down then, so might as well move him.

I posted it in the "anyone but Eichel" thread.

I am interested in your opinion.

I could see that. Neuvirth wont be on IR long and Elliott hasn't really been getting it done for the Flyers. Philly doesn't have the cap space for Lehner though, so we'd have to be getting something else from them as well. I think if we're doing this it's because we aren't interested in signing Lehner at the end of the season. Elliott has another year left on his deal and if the combo here is Johnson/Elliott next year then that opens things up for Ullmark to compete for the starting job.

I did consider that, but I thought mörksabre was a nice nod to people calling me dorksabre. Although mörk is probably pronounced murk so whatever lol

:lol: I should try to learn some Swedish this winter. It can't be too far off from German which I'm just bad enough at to get by.

You'll notice this same phenomenon at Edmonton games. Very similar lighting tricks to make that blue pop.

:w00t:

I agree. I didn't think Jack looked significantly different last night.

PA, job well done. Nice.
