Trade him and don't worry about an equal return to the price paid, just blame it on JBot and move on but get something. anything.

True it affects them both, but the underdog with the working his ass off goalie is the team that is always affected by this sort of thing more. There was no reason for it except to favour favourites.

Vancouver gets screwed by this bizarre scheduling. Demko looked exhausted. Can't ever remember a team having to play a game 7 the next night. If they can win with this watch out for this team in the years to come.

Just wondering, but aren't most, if not all player development guys people who generally fit this description? It doesn't mean much.

I think there's definitely some truth to this. The system the team runs and how the players interact together is what really matters, not how they hold their stick. If you have a decent coach/system it is pretty easy to make good adjustments to fit the players you have. What we really need is players that fit together and complement each other to make each of them better, not just one type or one idea. In that way, Jack clearly made Skinner better but not the reverse. I'm not a believer that Sam makes Jack better. Without Jack he's very very ordinary and I think most GMs will feel that way if we do try to trade him. Honestly I'm not sure ANYBODY on our roster is particularly good without Jack. We need talent, plain and simple.

LMFAO, oh ya Price is going to waive his no trade to come to this great contender. Lots of goalies in play this off season. Impossible to speculate on an actual landing spot if in fact Price is moved. If Colorado doesn't keep going wouldn't surprise me if history repeated.

Seeing as they gave up a 3rd for Allen you're essentially offering up Montour Hutton and a 2nd for Domi and a 3rd. Ya, I'm sure they'll get right on that. Right, left whatever, just bring in talent if you can and sort it out later.

Maybe they'll just flip him in another deal like they did with Scandella. I'm sure it'll make sense in the end.

Ya that Tage Thompson is something else. And Vlad, wow, words escape me. That Compher's pretty crap too. Glad we have such amazing management that knows how to evaluate assets and get rid of the crap.

I saw this and wondered how the heck is this guy getting all this so I read the article and it made me laugh. A lot. The Tampa trade is too funny for words. Sorry, we'd have to give up a lot more to get that. Don't see the point of the Pekar for a third deal. I still hold out hope for Pekar. Strome for Montour, maybe. I hate Montour so why not. If they'd do it, which I doubt. Don't like his Pitt deal. Getting us fleeced there. and yet another pointless third for Johansson. Again, why? Always liked Khudobin, wanted him when he left Boston. Price was lower back then. The idea of overhauling the line up I can get behind, but you got to be a realist. We aren't going to have a lot of takers on most of our 'talent."

I dunno. They are both rumoured to be available and they desperately want to rebuild a D core so surely with some creativity we could work out some sort of package deal.

Canucks defy the odds yet again. Say what you want about them, that team has resilience and thus the makings of a good solid future.

Don't get all this love for Tampa. Do you guys not remember what they did to us in Sweden???? Arguably if that hadn't happened maybe we'd have 5 or 6 more points + and would have made these playoffs. So F*ck Tampa. They've been worse to us than the Bruins as of late. Bruins are done. Their core is past it and there's not enough good youth there to keep them in contention. They'll be middle of the pack at best next season. I don't really like anybody left come to think of it.

So you think they'll never be back then? ?

Agree, but likely that's who we get.

Oh I'd gladly volunteer but I do not think I've earned it or have the internet capabilities/expertise to carry it off. I suspect there are a number of people that feel the same way as that.

Islanders look good, but they wont' beat Tampa. Bruins are done. Lehner vs. Bogo in the final, imagine that.

No news to discuss so maybe this to lighten the mood.

which is exactly why it's better to have more than one.

That's exactly it. |Some are saying this is political and it is an issue being exploited for politics by some, but it shouldn't be viewed as politics. It's human rights.

I'm not saying zero moderation. What I'm saying is not so quick and no so judgemental. Most, stress MOST, arguments or drifts to politics or whatever will play themselves out in a handful of posts if left alone. Mostly on boards like this that are left alone more a small argument ensues, then somebody gives up and exits that discussion in a huff and it's scrolled by and forgotten with the next bit of hockey news. imo people only really need to be muted if they spam when lots of people tell them to stop or if they get personal and start calling each other names/insults etc. Off topic drifts are not so important and usually don't last long.

But you can't judge what you don't get to see. If the moderator (any moderator) removes stuff they feel doesn't belong and mutes that person for their views nobody knows it was ever there unless they are on all day and read everything.

It wouldn't be bad if it was accompanied by a follow up move(s). You sign Pietrangelo you trade Risto etc. for that 2C. We have to find a way to have 2 top lines even if it means swapping out pieces of equal value.

I wondered why there was only 1 mod getting on my case, now I know. One biased active moderator is a bad idea. I'd personally like the thing to moderate itself. Generally in these kind of places things take care of themselves and good moderators really only need to step in if a LOT of people get upset about something or someone.

It wasn't? I mean i guess a lot of them weighed less but it was a rough league, they didn't put Semenko on his wing for no reason.
