Good trade. Barkov is going to be good in two years and Palat is the better player now.


Now I need Nucker to tank.

- VANTEL



My boy Barkov Only thing that sucks is the Florida just sucks offensively, the guy doesn't have a legit veteran scoring winger to help him out plus he's not physical enough yet(when he gets older I expect him to throw more hits). I couldn't afford to wait for him, but if I was rebuilding I never would have traded him.

KB#3 wanted Simmonds in his trade with Gullzy. Did Gullzy mention anything about being cool with disallowing the trade if it was a mistake. I PM'd him but I'm not sure if he'll reply in time since the trade will go through soon.


Just don't want to screw over KB#3 if Gullzy understands and is cool with them re-working a deal.

Sure.


What's the deal there? I've never seen that happen with Yahoo.

I guarantee you that I will trade for him at least one more time during next season by the latest.

It was Kassian, Trouba, Reilly, Monahan (you can throw in a 3rd as well since Lefty thought he was getting Sekac too) for Perry and Parise

(frank)
I was wondering why the trade hadn't gone through. I have been waiting for that deal to process so I could grab FAs

- bezz44

I don't know what to do? It said the deal would be processed today and reflected Monday, so I thought I could drop players that were playing yesterday - today??

Apparently not??

He said that he might still be okay with the trade if Bieksa forgot a piece depending on the piece. He was a bit back and forth on whether he would be okay with it being a mistake

I'll have to wait to see what Gullzy says then.

Good Blog Carol, I really don’t have too much problem with Millers play, I would suggest the area of concern at this standpoint would be (A) Defenceman (B) Forwards playing responsibly in their own end. Work on that +/- and try to get more top 4-6 Defensive depth for a playoff push.
- VanHockeyGuy


Good post here and pretty much spot-on.

Millers play has been a bit of happenstance with our D core and that's how we have to take it.

Carol, Miller wasn't brought in to be a savior. He was brought in to provide some consistency in the position which Lou had sorely lacked over the past two seasons and Lack just couldn't get it done when he was no 1. Yes Miller has shown holes but as long as he can keep us in two goals games and we can score a few more we should be ok.

Of course that depends on the other aspects mentioned in the post I quoted. Top 4-5 D depth and a winger to play with Bonino. I know I am sounding a but redundant with this but I have to look at the Horvat factor as well. Jensen sent down (again) so obviously WD sees something in Horvat that gives us a bit more balance down the stretch.

As it sits right now we are not a playoff team we are a bubble team that will need everything it's got to scratch to that 7-8 position in the conference.

If Horvat is sent down and we fail to acquire some D depth and another winger I have to think we aren't going to make it with the current roster. Especially since the Sedins and Vrbata have shown us nothing in the way of 5/5 scoring as of yet in the tough western conference.

I'm sure he'll run straight to his computer after seeing all of these trades in his email and his head explodes.

- Nucker101

I dropped Mike Santorelli and Matt Carle today.

PS: don't forget to give me one of his three first round picks, I screwed myself out of getting Sekac because I was multi-tasking at work...not a smart man but I'm a good worker!

BC Lions suck
- VANTEL


Major dropoff since Buono left the sideline

Very rarely does "promotion from within" actually payoff. Benevides defense is still good, but the Lions are no longer an elite team with Buono being more "hands off"
