My friend had his surgery friday night...although he will have to live with some minor "séquelles" for the rest of his life, at least he will be able to walk.

so you started this whole Centre vs Winger talk?
- hamiltonhabfan

yes. i insinuated that a 85/90-point centre is really valuable. but i realize now that i was wrong.

Okay fine, 28 is not over the hill.

I'd still rather trade him for some young, top end prospects than some guy who's 28 is all I'm trying to say.

he's upset because i said that Seguin is really good.

Yeah well they're in a good position to win the Stanley cup right now, I don't see what's bad about trading for a guy in his prime years.

yeah it would smart to not get anyone who can step right into the lineup.

i was wrong about him though. he's run of the mill. he was also a cancer in the dressing room who was tearing that team apart as evidence by the lack of on-ice success during his 3 years there. without Seguin Boston would have made 3 straight Cup finals. everyone knows that.

no no no. once they show signs the gig is up.

you have to trade them right before they show the signs.

Remember when the Bruins clearly won the Kessel trade because they won the cup that year?

So your happy with the return you got for Seguin?

i don't even see what your point is. it was a hockey trade and it worked out for both teams.

and i know your "just make room for him" argument but he wasn't bumping bergeron and krejci.

- stormey

I remember that, than I also remember how the leafs won the deal because Seguin sucked so bad the Bruins didnt even want him anymore

no no no. once they show signs the gig is up.

- dt99999

No, when they start to decline, with 3-4 years left on a hefty contract, that's when you get top dollar.
