Tells us he does give something to the idea he wants to make and survive the playoffs. Greenway is effectively a playoff player through and through. Physical, defensively sound and experienced.

Portillo could of said he wanted more education and I'd of still hated him snubbing us but respected his desire for a degree. The fact his agent's statement makes him look scared of competition is rather hilarious to be honest

My guess is Greenway will be a 3/4 line Winger who PKs and adds legitimate grit to our lineup while putting up 35 points per year.

His post-deadline conference seems to hunt he was willing to use picks but not Savoie/Kulich to which Arizona vehemently refused any offer we proposed

Good luck Asplund both Bjork and Asplund’s trades are Adams doing good for his players. Something I’d imagine is a positive in player circles. Sort out of the opposite to Quick’s snafu by LA.

Omg I actually read the tea leaves. Sounds like Arizona seriously refused any Buffalo offer not including Kulich/Savoie and actually took less value from Ottawa

*****

Why does the puck outright refuse to bounce to our guys tonight. It always seems to find a Bruin regardless of positioning

Interesting name for a player

They also put a 2nd 1st in a condition if they made the ECF in the next two years.

There aren't exactly a ton of great options that won't cost us absurd assets for questionable results. I'd of gone after Chychrun more; however we have no idea how Adams did in that regard. He could of ignored them or pushed to the end only to come up short. Its only speculation

To be honest I think he’s merely following the script he planned and is unwilling to deviate barring obvious help. He wants to win but sees little value in making moves that may negatively affect the vibes. I want moves but I’m also on the conservative side. I’m disinterested in giant risk-laden trades. So I don’t want Parynko or Provorov or to trade Savoie/Kulich All in all I’m disappointed in the lack of help but not pulling out my hair over it

Could be, or even indirectly involved based on the price. Don't get the trade from Vancouver's perspective though

I could also see Buffalo being unwilling to only go Top 5 protection or up it further than what Ottawa paid. Ottawa's pick is still more likely to be lower than ours since even with our issues; we have an explosive offense which Ottawa can't exactly match. We have 30 more goals this year in one fewer game. Additionally what is more likely to happen Buffalo with Chychrun falling apart or Ottawa with Chychrun falling apart. We have a Norris Candidate and and a Rocket Richard contender (minus McDavid) Personally I hate we missed out on him but from Arizona's angle it makes sense. Arizona is counting on Ottawa being bodied out of the playoffs and missing.

Well I guess that’s good

Honestly it’s the only thing I can believe based on the swirl of rumors of our involvement.

I’m speechless, really unsure as to how or why we couldn’t beat this. My only reasonable idea is that Arizona refused to not get Savoie and effectively ended any proposal.

Alright, now we have a legit chance at Chychrun with only Ottawa having cap space like us

Anyone relevant left not named Chychrun?

Just to add salt, FLA won and PIT and NYI at minimum will get 1 point tonight

Also, Olofsson what are you good for if you’re not scoring? You play like a slug approaching a salt line when anywhere but open offensive ice. Why can’t he just be the guy who started last year or has shown up a couple times this year? The guy who plays hard over the entire ice.

Jokiharju should let every fan in attendance punch him after that game he played tonight. Especially for whatever the hell he was doing on the ENG. Where the hell was he looking or going? He was looked into the corner and skated over in that direction never once looking at the guy who would shoot it through his legs to score.

Stop tossing Contempt on stuff

Rough night for Power, Jokiharju seems to actively trying to give the puck to CBJ Get your ***** in gear dammit! You have one period, 3 goals versus this team isn’t impossible by any stretch
