IKnowPhysics Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Here part one and part two of Aaron Ward's, so far, fantastic three-part series called "Re-Orientation." It's a documentary about homosexuality in sport. Definitely an important topic that will continue to evolve going forward... Neat. I'm an Ally, so I'll watch that when I get home from work.

deluca67 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Quote from Leafs GM Nonis: "Kadri and Gardiner's names are brought up quite a bit in trade talks. So is Rielly's. We'd be willing to trade Kadri." That lockerroom really needed this kind of stupid comment. What do you find "stupid?" The GM is saying anyone can be traded, nothing wrong with that.

bunomatic Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 What do you find "stupid?" The GM is saying anyone can be traded, nothing wrong with that. Agreed. This is the time of year GMs throw out the carrot to see who's interested. Also to motivate players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Agreed. This is the time of year GMs throw out the carrot to see who's interested. Also to motivate players. There is motivating players and there alienating players. I think Nonis achieved the latter. Good, ###### the Leaves and really ###### Kadri.

Trettioåtta Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 What do you find "stupid?" The GM is saying anyone can be traded, nothing wrong with that. He is saying the opposite. These three names always come up in trade rumours. He would be willing to deal one of the three. Thus he won't be willing to trade the other two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Nonis saying "We would listen to trades for any of our players" or "If an offer is made that we can't refuse we could move one of those players" is what good GMs would say in that situation Of course GMs might also throw out names in conversations with other GMs as guys they could move for the right price. The problem here that makes this stupid on Nonis is that he actually comes out and talks about 3 players he gets offers for, then specifically names one of them saying he could be traded. That should work wonders in your lockerroom and with this young player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 What do you find "stupid?" The GM is saying anyone can be traded, nothing wrong with that. As others have stated, he didn't say 'anyone' could be traded; he said certain ones couldn't but someone else could. Not typically good for overall morale.

bunomatic Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 In other news. Hanzal of the Coyotes put out 3 Canucks with crafty stickwork last night. All within 5 minutes of play. Crosschecks to the ribs on santorelli and sedin and the last one a crosscheck to the neck of Booth. The league should look at the last one with the other two taken into consideration.

Hoss Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) David Pagnotta @TheFourthPeriod2m Sounds like Oilers/Panthers might have made a minor deal, seeing as how some FLA players tweeted goodbye to Steve Pinizzotto last night. Looks like an AHL trade with Pinizzotto and Jack Combs going for Derek Nesbitt. Definitely a domino for a Miller to Florida and Edmonton at the same time.

I thought pinner has been gone from VAN? I love Tanev and also wished he hadn't left so soon. Glad to see him thriving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Marty is awesome. Will Philly ever get it when it comes to goalies? I've said it before; I'll say it again: Filly's goaltending hit the wall in the 80s. And that one is getting called back. Just like I said.
