    I dont think Walcott was anything close to untouchable (despite his O hes still sub 170 last I saw), but we just spent a 5th on him last draft, then traded him for a 7th not even a year later. Good one Glen.

    Just saw this on 'Bleacher Report'. Holy shit.
    Some sort of justification for the MSL trade .......
    GS gets back a 7th round pick( which was a 5th) that went
    to TB in the MSL-Cally trade. Total bullshit.
    .......and giving up on Daniel Walcott.

    Wonder if The Genius is going after any more picks?

    I havent looked into this, but he was due to be signed this year no? Maybe they figure with Graves and Skjei also due to count toward the 50 contracts next year they had to dump 1. That's my guess.

    Walcott was a good prospect. Trading him for a 7th was moronic. Maybe it had to do something with the St. Louis deal. Either way, it was freakin stupid unless our Euro scouts pull a gem in the 7th round. Sather better get his head out of his ass and start building for the future again. A core of this team will be 27-28 when Lundqvist is 37. He needs to have a team in place then that is young and skilled.

    Lindberg, Skjei, Buchnevich and maybe Graves are the only prospects in the system worth a dang, but they all should be solid pieces for the future. Nieves and Fogarty haven't shown all that much but still have some time. Halverson and/ or Shesterykin could be Lundqvists replacement down the line.

    Sather in the post is considering stepping down. That is good. He has started to take up the insane thinking of Chuck lately where he gives away everything for moves to try and win now. Stupid would be kind when describing that.

    OR the insane thinking of you dump...you know the guy who wanted Nash more than anyone on this board...DUMP, the guy who LOVED the Yandle deal...DUMP, and the guy who was perfectly fine with the MSL deal...DUMP.

    Now that same guy...DUMP...knocks anyone who says they liked those deals and thinks Sather is crazy for giving up picks in the mid to late 20's.

    You tell me who is the insane one here....DUMP...you tell me.

    Again...why we love our dumpy...:).
