Should I just say that this is a fantastic trade and that Murray is a genius? Would that make everybody happy?
-
I made it pretty clear that neither the GM or the player would take any offers made before the deadline. The point is that now they can't make any offers. The other point is that now I get to watch a worse team than we've had finish off the season, which has been painful at best up to this point. It's getting really old.
-
Who is that going to be?
-
Does losing your 5th leading goal scorer make the lineup any better? I think Fasching is a long ways off from making a 2nd line on this team. Maybe we can put Johnson on the 3rd line. B-)

Explain yourself better.
-
OK, and? Didn't I say McGinn was 5th?
-
I didn't expect him to re-sign before the deadline. It's not a good idea for the player and the GM. It's like making the first offers when bidding on an item. Nobody is going to agree on each offer. At some point you need to start looking forward, losing another top scorer is just going to help this team finish off a season on another downswing. In a tank year it might make sense. I'm sick of watching it. I don't want to watch this team win 6 times in the next 19 games. This is getting really old. The types of players that have a great all around game cost big money. You can't afford to have two complete lines of players that cost $6+mil/yr. At some point you need to find a combination of guys that can either score, or defend. 20 goal/82 game generally gets you a 2nd line position.

I doubt talks were serious at this point.

I'm sick of watching a depleted lineup to finish off another season. And now with the 2nd and 5th leading scorers on the team gone, it's going to be another miserable end to the season.
-
I don't know what I would have offered him. But I do know that he can't make any offers now.
-
He's traded something that works, for something that might not work. Traded a definite for an unknown. A 3rd round pick isn't an asset because it's not going to be the deciding factor in some blockbuster deal he plans to make in the offseason. This team is borderline painful to watch, now it's worse.
-
Actually, I'm pretty sick and tired of watching the GM throwing in the towel every single year. Fans bitch that we don't have enough gritty, crash the net, 2nd/3rd line forwards who put in an effort every single night.......... so it makes sense to trade one away when we get one instead of keeping him and try to work on a new contract. I thought it would be a good idea to try to finish off the season looking strong so that the players have something to look forward to in the offseason. With O'Reilly out. that's unlikely to happen when you get rid of somebody who was playing a moderate role in the scoring department.
-
WOOHOO, so we'll have a marginal player in 4 years. Awesome!
-
As weak and soft as their defense is, and known to be the most porous over the last 5 years....... Russell is the first guy that comes to mind to fix that. :rolleyes:
-
I'll take that as a no.
-
What was I wrong about? Have you ever once considered that some people might know more than you?
-
So much for the 2nd round offers, huh Hoss?
-
Last year every puck that Pirri touched ended up being a goal. It reminded me of the year Stafford scored 30 goals, lots of lucky bounces, lots of fortunate timing. It was a productive year but one where theaw of averages was bound to set in. You're right, he's been benched a couple of times. He's not a bad player. I'd like to see another year out of him to see what he's capable of. He's still out for a other couple of weeks so whoever gets him will be without his services for a short time.

Was that the night you wanted me to call you Foghorn Leghorn?

Goodnight Skippy.

You did when you said Tallon wouldn't pick up Johnson when he has Berra and Stalock on waivers. If you lose Montoya, you need a quality backup to give Lou some rest down the stretch and add some insurance for the postseason. If you're a GM and decide to ride Lou down the stretch because you can't win with Stalock/Berra (and get knocked out in the 1st round if Lou gets hurt) you would be fired.

Do yourself a favor and browse the stats of Enroth, Montoya and Johnson. Now browse the stats of Berra and Stalock. If you can't figure out the difference, I can't help you.
