I'm gonna lose it if this is really what happens

Right. I can't knock the guy for going to the SC Finals, they certainly did a helluva lot better job than we did, but let's not act like McPhee really had some tough decisions to make in regards of who to take from which team; the expansion draft was pretty nicely set up for Vegas. I will give him credit for Gallant though

This is exactly what I want. But that trade with how you described it doesn't happen until next summer

I mean to be fair McPhee wasn't exactly a wizard in Washington. Dude did make the Foresberg trade after all

I think a lot of the answer to this will make or break the RoR for a lot of posters. So, what do you think Botterill's plan is for these picks? Edit: How do I make the votes public?

He might in two years, that's not really my issue here. As long as he doesn't end up as frustrating as Myers was, I'll be alright

Shut your mouth

Except unlike the Nolan way, he actually had talent

Sorry, who are you referring to here?

Eh. Everything in moderation

Yeah but context does matter. That's the whole reason RoR was moved in the first place. Teams aren't just a collection of talent.

Well, that's depressing

Sounds about right Probably the same reason we were okay with Kane when we first got him. Give Kane some time, I'd bet anything within 2 years there's another Kane controversy

This is the only scenario in which I can live with the RoR trade. There has to be something done with all of the assets we just collected

That's just never going to be possible for me.

Playing in the right situation, Tyler Myers is alright. But he's still exactly what everyone thought he was, a 3-4th defender; he never learned to use his body or be anything more when he could have been

Why does everyone have Mittelstadt at 2C and not Reinhart? You think our 19 year old rookie straight from the NCAA gets 2C over a guy with 2 years NHL experience? And I don't think we're close to done. There's still a lot of garbage to clean up on the bottom lines and the blue line

Why does that matter at all?

Tyler Myers. That's freaking Tyler Myers.

Well, we've definitely been patient Trading him away makes sense. Trading him for garbage does not

Which makes me wonder why we didn't just keep him

We really don't know anything though. All we know is Tage Thompson is not great, we did not get the prospects we or anyone thought we should have gotten, and it's obvious at this point Botterill really wanted RoR gone more than anything

Well that's easy to explain Chiarelli I've always had this vision in my head of that trade:

I wish man. Unless he flips those 2 1sts and Nylander before October, I just don't see it though

Hey now, nothing wrong with that...
