Quotes don't work again...

Belcher - Bowman can't really make a wrong trade as far as I am concerned. He is focused on Kruger so it makes sense.

Fair enough, and I agree Kruger is key to all of this. Still if Chi has to give decent picks and good young NHL ready players up just to move salary I wish we would of been able to get in on that.

Bowman just gave away a lot of talent for cap space.

Versteeg, Nordstrom and a 3rd for a 5th, and two low level prospects.

Nordstrom alone I would of though would be worth a 2nd.

But really what does Nucker think of the return??

I see Stewart is playing offense.

I have a feeling this little experiment by Benning is going to turn out terrible.

So Chicago get 2 players who look they will never play in the NHL, and they trade 3rd and 5th rounders.

This is a incredibly one sided trade for Carolina. Just flip versteeg at the deadline.

Stewart was brought in to punch faces and get punched in the face. Makes more sense for him to be doing that as a winger than a D IMO.

Really as much as I was surprised that he was signed as early as he was, its the least of my concerns when it comes to Benning acquisitions.

I know for the most part you joke around, but I can't say I feel bad for you when people start to gang up. You bring a lot of heat on yourself here Nucker. I think the regs see you for who you are and know you are joking, but I will say that you bring all that heat upon yourself man

You're taking this too seriously. Most of the guys are annoyed but no ones taking it personal except for maybe a couple of guys. It's a freakin hockey message board.

That wasn't complaining about myself, more so that just like the Benning fans say that they don't love every move, the haters don't hate every move either. And that sometimes during a good discussion with good stats, facts being used, someone will just chime in randomly with a "omg stop freaking out!" or "I'm sick of hearing about this" instead of just ignoring it if they don't like it or contributing with a good counter-argument.


Most posters here don't do that though, just a few.

Ahh I somewhat see where you are coming from. I thought you were complaining about the people who were ganging up on you on the thread from a few days ago. Understood now.

I was wondering when you were going to jump on the Oilers bandwagon.

Not likely to happen lol. It's too bad McDavid is coming up in the Bettman era however there will be no 'no touch Mcdavid' rules like there was for Gretzky...
