Absolute zero chance I’m giving a first round pick for a third line center. That could be a very high pick for Vancouver. And could be for us.

I would not have paid that price. 2020 lottery projected. If it doesn’t convert it’s unprotected in 2021. Plus a third and a prospect.

I’d pay Subban $7.5M a year for three years so he’s a 4th line grinder salary away from being “worth it.” That’s minuscule. Nashville was fleeced.

Because he’s $9M. That’s why they traded him. Not because he isn’t a damn good player. But because they’ve got to take care of their own (Josi) and desperately need forwards. Defense was their strength and he was a luxury they could no longer afford.

Oh my god whyyyy is he not a Sabre

It was in response to an earlier post I made where I used the word nefarious to describe the “most overrated” label on Zion.

Subban being targeted as the “most overrated” in the entire league in a sport with a not-so-great racial history and zero diversity is most definitely “nefarious” as I put it. Calling him overrated is fine. He might be at this point in his career. Go to the comment section of any post about Subban from the NHL. The comments from fans about his “character” seem to forget how this man has given his heart to so many worthy causes and truly engages with the people. Some Vancouver reporter said the Canucks shouldn’t pursue him because it’s become the “Vancouver Subbans” because of his character. The idea that a rich black man with confidence who engages with the public consistently is selfish and an attention ***** is played out.

I don’t imagine many $9M defenseman would have a trade market.

I wouldn’t say he’s quite as good looking as Tom Hiddleston

I’m not posting what Pronman says fully but he raves about Cozens. Says he’s a good skater period and “not just for his size.” Says he’s shoot-first and not an elite playmaker but that he’s capable of getting to that level. Also adds he might need just one more year at junior before he’s in Buffalo.

Welcome, Doctor. Where’d you park the TARDIS?

The best acted Star Wars villain (Vader has a better story but acting was at a minimum there). Go on...

I now fully trust in GMJB. It’s not a matter of if we’ll win cups but how many.

After he finishes a Hall of Fame career with 17 Cups with the Sabres this will be our new boy’s campaign slogan when he runs for president of Buffalo.

They grabbed a D. They grabbed Johnson.

Distracted by sports, typical man.

This has been fantastically boring. I’m too old for this.

There goes Spencer Knight to the Panthers.

Oh it's just a draft pick trade. Boring.

Arizona and Philly trade yayyyy

The Canucks sweaters got SOOO much better just by removing the wordmark.

I'm fine with his nickname eventually being Cuzzo.

NHL GMs are so boring. Make some ***** trades. Your team sucks. Make it better.

His name is Peyton. He'll never be good at hockey.
