That's an interesting way of looking at it

Try again And no, there really isn't any. He is remarkably unremarkable to the point where there is barely any information or video highlights of him

I could see that if it was Harden who had it done. Dude does have a history of that after all :lol: :lol:

This can't be true, can it?

Sheary aside, this trend is...not great

Gonna need a bigger coping mechanism than just beer for tonight Jameson it is!

I'm betting Lonzo is moved out. Even if he's not, LeBron had a big 1:1 moment with him after a game this year, seems to like the kid

This hurts so much to read every time you post it. Stop it man, you're killing me here!

https://dobberprospects.com/player/tage-thompson/ Anyone have anything else on him? Couldn't really find anything recent

This is very true

Liecester, the Mighty Ducks, the 1969 Mets He better

Well Tim Murray was a moron so I guess we should start calling Benning, Chiarelli, and Bergevin then

Has Botterill shown any ability to draft well thus far anyways? Do we even trust him with those picks?

I just have such a hard time believing we're seriously going to pick 3 times in the first round next year. That is just insane to me, and not in a good way

I can't do 3 more years of no playoffs. At that point we'll be in a Bills' drought. Seriously

So 3 aspects of modern day NHL that aren't too important to winning. I'll take it

People don't throw away two 1st round picks. It's not like we're anchoring Okposo to them

100%. But without RoR, and with what we got back, we're gonna be top 5 picking again, and that is beyond detrimental for this young team. Hoss got his wish at least

I agree that the attitude/locker room stuff was clearly the drive behind this, but I do believe that RoR's age for Botterill was a factor.

Vancouver has to realize they're getting a top 5 pick, so does Detroit Well no it's not a 1:1 trade. It would be 'Here's 2 1sts to start your rebuild off, do you have a single prospect that may be ready to go but won't be in your window? No? Well, here's Nylander too' I mean, we just did it. Two 1sts is a ton of currency, there is a variety of packages with McCabe/Nylander/etc. with those 2 1sts that can net a guy in Botterill's age range

HOW

Why do you as a fan care that Terry Pegula has to pay money that doesn't affect the cap and therefore your fandom at all Unless of course it did affect the cap

Someone just starting a rebuild? Vancouver seems like a solid choice. Detroit too

This. It's insane
