So Bob Mac was hinting around yesterday that CBJ were going after Mathews to replace Johansen.

Davidson is one smart son of a Bytch

Doesn't "going after Mathews" mean you are going to intentionally lose? How else do you go after Mathews? Is that not frowned upon around here?

I’m sure the bookies too note of that comment.

I hope he does well in Edmonton.

Me too. If he is generally trying to better himself good on him.

Don't you worry they know exactly what's going on.

Davidson is one smart cookie. He traded a 2nd for a guaranteed top 5 pick. Then he traded a #1 center for #1D and closing in Franchise #1 center. If he wins the lottery he will dump Torts in the offseason. If they don't and Davidson will keep Torts for another season for 2nd shot at 1OA.

Yes, it's called tanking. Is Davidson smart or are some in here going to criticize him for not playing to the spirit of the game?

I know when I mention tanking as a possible way of improving the team people go bat poop crazy.

These moves and manipulation sounds like an episode of House of Cards.

Actually Game of Thrones. Btw just finishes season 4 last night.

Exactly. It's a valid way to improve your team and improve it quickly. Doesn't always work but it doesn't stop GMs from trying it.

Even if we didn't get Mathews how nice would it be to get Laine or Puljujarvi

I cant see torts is a coach who would want his players to tank....hes the coach that theyll do it with but cant see it being on purpose

Either way a Sedin is getting replaced for the future

Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
Etem to VAN for Jensen and a pick

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
I believe the pick is 2017 7th rounder but that's not 100 per cent.

It is ninja tanking if there ever was one.

Etem for Jensen and late pick done

Season 4 was outstanding. Pure carnage.
It basically changed TV script writing and character development forever. TV shows from now on will have to push the edge even further to get our attention.

My Old Man was an RCMP officer in the drug section in Vancouver in the 70's. They had the jockeys room at Hastings wire-tapped as they were trying to get info on Murray Pezim's local mob ties...you would not believe the shat going on man...

Sure things...

Believed to be 2017 7th rounder
