Who's about these trades;

Clarkson and Santorelli for Kane

Gardiner and Finn for Yakupov

right the success of that tank is rooted in many years of terrible, terrible, management. like beyond terrible. it was almost a perfect storm:

- horrendous drafting for more than a decade
- undesirable market which lead to...
- terrible, terrible UFA signings
- succession of internal free agents walking with no compensation
- more terrible drafting
- Ron Rolston
- acquisition of ZERO impact players over a long, long period of time

when Murray got in there, there was nothing left. all he had to do was sell off Ryan Miller and a few spare parts and not acquire any players of real value over the summer.

All he had to do was go to everyone and say "Hey, we're going to suck this year, k? Like, really really suck."

And then do exactly that.

Has Ek posted an update on Timonen's progress?

Can ANYONE help me understand what is happening with Timonen?
- Aetherial

my guess is that one night about 6-7 years back, he was too polite to dismiss Eklund out of hand in the Flyers locker room and Eklund has has loved him ever since. kind of like how Brian Burke spoke to him a few times and then for there on in everything Burke did was sheer genius. remember how angry Eklund got when DGB did the fake Brian Burke Twitter?

The first one they would never do

The second one we would never do

Does Clarkson and Gardiner for Kane make it more reasonable?

- BINGO!

yes but the point is, it takes a lot of work and a long time to turn into the black hole that the Sabres have become.

Nobody who doesn't have a deathwish is acquiring Clarkson.

Oh yes, mostly I was just agreeing with you.

- Pecafan Fan

You want real lulz go read the offers Sens fans are coming up with for Kane.

Someone needs to explain to people that you don't get Kane for marginal players. You aren't competing against Winnipeg's desire to be rid of him. You are competing against the other teams, and there will be a lot, who are going to make a pitch.

No, Kane might be out for the year..

Actually, wait..Yeah go ahead do it..

anyone else not (frank)ing jacked about getting Frattin back?

- PinkSock

The outrage was hilarious as well as the account.
- Cfser

even though he made it very clear it was a parody.

it really was great. i think it was the moment when Canadian hockey fans realized that the national hockey print media is a bunch of pompous and arrogant wieners.

How long til this shows up on Ek's thread as an actual serious proposal from Leafs fans.

Maybe, but I would still offer Lupul, Bozak and Reimer for Kane and Hutchinson at the deadline.. Even if Kane misses the rest of the season
