It's a good trade. They weren't getting him for nothing.. Chuck and others are right. Hank is old. The time is now! Plus like I keep saying they can recoup the picks.. If the Leafs are going to throw big money at Staal then they can trade his rights for a pick. Same with Yandle
I don't hear anyone whining in CHI about giving up a 1st for Vermette last year.. Was he worth it NO, but you can't argue that he didn't score some big goals for them
thats not the point step.. The point is teams will grab players at the deadline and pay a high price hoping for a good return. At times Vermette was scratched last year but he scored big goals for them
Caps added Winnik, and may add more today. We need to add that one more piece IMO. They are going to be REAL tough in round two if we get by the Isles in round one. Damn...
Oh please. You're so obsessed with what other teams do and then you panic. You went nuts when the Penguins added him and he sucked and did nothing in the playoffs.
We need another bottom 6 guy who can fill in for Glass/injury.. I heard rumors of Max Talbot... He's a great role player but not since he left PITT
Boedker to the Avs for Bleackley (20yo, 1st rounder), Wood (19yo, 3rd rounder) and Tanguay. Good haul by the 'Yotes who were going to lose Boedker for nothing in the offseason.
Appears that way. Pirri went to the Ducks for a 6th rounder, I would have loved to get him for that. Is what it is. This is the team. We have the horses on paper, now we'll see if we can get it done finally. Isles, and if we get through that series, the Caps. Good times.
...............and the f'king Devils get a 2nd & 4th round picks for Stempniak from panicking Bruins. What did Rangers get for trading Stempniak? As usual, it's a crazy world in the NHL.
Glass will the odd man out in the playoffs where players don't goon it up because they don't want to take penalties. Glass who is 99% useless is 100% useless in the playoffs.
Yes - And he was himself a 2nd round pick in 09 (54) which again speaks to the uncertainty of these 2nd rounders
