  1. My disappointment with this trade is that Lazar is straight up better than a joke. In points. In energy. In skill set for a bottom six forward. In contract. And is only a year older

    That means we got less than a second for Hall.

    I understand Adams didn’t turn down better offers, but when Foligno gets a first and fourth, and we get a second for a historically better player who is historically under achieving this year and still statistically better than Foligno - that’s disappointing.

    And for people decrying people complaining about the anger that a JAG fourth liner was traded - poor asset management is why we are we’re we are. And if you poorly manage part of your roster, you poorly manage it all.

    I'd still like to see Hall for Batherson straight up. I think it would be a steal for us, but I guess you never know how any individual will perform in any given market. Hall would probably nix the deal though. He probably doesn't want to go to Ottawa.

     

    Why would a team 13 points out of the playoffs and last in their division trade for the big name UFA at the deadline? Am I missing something?

  3. My fantasy is all the NHL owners are due to go in for a meeting. Pegula goes to walk in the door and one of the other owners turns to him and says ‘sorry, this is a meeting for people who own NHL clubs’ and all the other owners laugh at him.

    This humiliation humbles him and sparks him to do whatever it takes to win the Stanley cup, including getting his grubby mitts out of the pie, just to avenge his derision.

    Just stumbled across this. So annoying lol 

    "The Blues paid a signing bonus O'Reilly was owed July 1, the newspaper reported. The Sabres would have had to pay it if O'Reilly was traded after that.

    "If it went past midnight today, the asking price was certainly going to be a lot different," Botterill said. "You never say never, but it certainly played a role in making sure the deal was done today.""

    The Pegulas did it to save money, and the irony is that this has and will continue to cost them far more as a result

  5. I like Torts and I think he is good at whipping an underperforming team up and making them accountable.

    I also think within 2-3 years he overstays his welcome and his schtick wears off.

    Plus he is bad at favouring vets over rookies and demanding everyone be defensively responsible - which is an issue when you have $9 million a year in Skinner

    Laf is a LW behind Krieder and Panarin and isn't seeing that much ice time.

    He'll improve. Too bad he's a Ranger though.

    I mean that makes it worse right? Sheltered minutes against weaker opposition etc.

    However, I agree he will be fine. Everyone expects a first overall to be a McDavid or Crosby or Ovechkin. But they are all generational players.

    Look at how Stamkos started his career vs how he plays (when not injured)

    Remember when they asked Krueger if Jack was hurt and he outright lied?

    Can’t trust anything these guys have to say anyways

    I don't know why this was so controversial? Coaches lie all the time about injuries. 'Yeah Jack's got a bad neck, so if the opposition move the puck laterally he'll have a hard time tracking it'
