TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 The Sens did all of nothing. Re-upping Kuba wasn't bad and the Campoli trade remains excellent. I'm not happy with the Vermette deal. I don't think Leclaire is much of an answer at all and giving up Vermette kinda sucks. Although the pick is nice. Not trading Neil was retarted. I would've taken ANYTHING for him. A nice 3rd rounder would've made me happy. If they resign his useless ass now, I'll flip. As for the Penguins...Bill Guerin? Really? Didn't they learn anything from his 0 goals as a rental for the Sharks, 2 years ago?
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 I think Phoenix won. They're still rebuilding and they got a bunch of players for Jokinen. Toronto traded for Kolzig. They lost this draft.
bob_barron Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 I think the Kolzig thing was a salary dump
Guest Czech please! Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Ducks also got Kontiola. He's going to be quite good. We got a guy with mono. They won that trade.
treble Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Yeah, the Leafs just basically took on Kolzig's salary so they could get another draft pick. Is he even going to play again this year (or ever)? I'm still not really sure why the Leafs picked up Gerber. I know that Toskala's out, but just throw Pogge in there and give Joseph a start once and a while.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 "but just throw Pogge in there " Oh God yes. Please Please Please?
treble Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 I trust him more than any other healthy goalie they have right now.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 He and for some reason the Bruins, are the only things the Sabres play well against.
bob_barron Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Yeah, the Leafs just basically took on Kolzig's salary so they could get another draft pick. Is he even going to play again this year (or ever)? I'm still not really sure why the Leafs picked up Gerber. I know that Toskala's out, but just throw Pogge in there and give Joseph a start once and a while. He's basically an expiring contract. Since when hockey become the NBA? It's Bettman's dream
Guest Czech please! Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Yeah, what happened to the old days of the trade deadline, where it'd just be Ken Holland going "I want that guy! Here's a 5th round draft pick," and "I want that guy! Here's a pile of dung from the Toledo Storm," and "I want that guy! Here's some real estate in Corktown we won't be needing," but they changed the system to be more like the NBA and keep the Red Wings from alwa oh fuck
bob_barron Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 As someone at yahoo! said, I can't believe the NHL even approved the Kolzig deal. I'm trying to see if anyone did any analysis besides WTF and got none. Really? Tampa couldn't afford him for 20 more games? "... there's no secrets in television anymore... we know you got Olaf Kolzig, Jamie Heward, Andy Rogers and a 4th round pick for Richard Petiot from the Marlies... can you explain that deal to us?" Burke: "No"
Guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Why wouldn't they approve it? It isn't egregiously terrible. The only deals the NHL should be denying are the likes of Kovalchuk for a 7th round pick.
bob_barron Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 The Leafs traded for two guys who are injured, plus some other guy and a 4th round pick, for some loser on the Marlies. It's just a weird trade
Guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Petiot has NHL talent, but the health of a 12 year old with AIDS. The Lightning are giving the likes of David Koci minutes on defense. I think Petiot will get a shot.
the max Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 I like what the Bruins did. Dealing away Lashoff doesn't hurt the defensive depth. Chara, Wideman, Ward, Ference, Montador, Stuart/Hnidy/Hunwick. Montador is a solid addition to the defense without giving up a ton. As I said earlier in the thread, Nokelainen is made of balsa wood. He can't stay healthy but still plays a style that's not conducive to staying healthy. And Karsums is a small forward who lacks the speed or shiftiness to not get murdered at the NHL level. Recchi instantly makes their powerplay better as it hopefully gets Axelsson the fuck off of the powerplay. Wheeler/Ryder-Savard-Recchi Bergeron-Chara Kessel-Krejci-Kobasew/Lucic Montador/Wideman-Ference/Hunwick Lucic-Savard-Kessel Ryder-Krejci-Wheeler Axelsson-Bergeron-Kobasew Thornton-Yelle-Bitz Chara-Ward Wideman-Montador Ference-Hunwick/Hnidy/Stuart I like that team in the playoffs.
AntiLeaf33 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 The Leafs traded for two guys who are injured, plus some other guy and a 4th round pick, for some loser on the Marlies. It's just a weird trade It boils down to the Leafs paying for a draft pick
Matt Young Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 So the Kings gave up O'Sullivan and a 2nd rounder for a guy who's been on injured reserve half the season? Brilliant.
Guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 You can think of this as your first real taste of being a Kings fan! But hey, they're going to be a mover this offseason. It's gonna be playoffs or everyone gets fired.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Where are all the Canadien's fans tonight? They're usually so prevelant in the thread..
Red Baron Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Work. I'm convinced that Carey Price is still hurt.
garfieldsnose Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 I'm really going to miss Scottie Upshall. The interview he gave CSN before he left for Phoenix had him almost breaking down and his mouth was quivering the whole time. He knew he was loved here and he loved it here. Obviously he wasn't as big as Brian Dawkins, but two fan favorites leaving town in five days sucks.
Matt Young Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 The ATDHE stream of the Kings game isn't working...
Guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 The ATDHE stream of the Kings game isn't working... Here's one if you still want it. http://www.justin.tv/cboxx Of course, you have to deal with everyone saying Kane Kopitar Kovalchuk about a million times... This team's offense, even with Justin Williams in the lineup, will be horrendous. It is just the worst goddamn offense in the league. Goes without saying maybe we should trade for someone else too.
AntiLeaf33 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 Work. I'm convinced that Carey Price is still hurt. I don't think its as much an injury as it is an issue with his confidence. He seems to be really tentative. I don't know if his head isn't into the game or what, but the kid has got to get out of the funk he is in.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 Gary Roberts is going to retire. How sad.
the max Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 Or it could be that Carey Price really isn't the next greatest Montreal goaltender of all time and is merely an above average prospect that was pushed too soon.
garfieldsnose Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 I agree with the above statement. You can't make statements like what was said above about players like Crosby and Ovechkin because they've lived up to the hype. But Price has done nothing that makes him better than any other average NHL goalie.
