Pellelindberg31 has it right, nothing good will happen with trading of Schenn, a player approaching his prime years and the the top goal scorer on his team. As for the rest of you morons who are drinking the Kool Aid Hextall is giving away for free I feel sorry for you. For every good move Hextall makes three bonehead mistakes! By the way just talked to my buddy Steve and he is signing in Winnipeg on Saturday. He has given me inside info on the gong show going on in Philly and 10 million a year would not bring him back.

By the way I just talked to my buddy Steve and he said you can stop trying so hard to make Team Negative as Plind is making you a clown avatar right now.

So all the experts around the league who are lauding Hextall for the work he has done are wrong but hockeybuzz posters have it all correct?

Just checking

JVR trade worst trade SCHENN for Lehtara equally dumb

Just so we are all aware. My name is Matt, not Steve.

You keep saying this as if they just lost an in-his-prime John LeClair or something.

25 goals... get a grip.
- Tomahawk

You've made a ridiculous statement here. I've repeatedly referenced Schenn as a 25 goal 50 point player. John Leclair was a 50 goal and 90 point player. How many 25 goal forwards were there in the league last year?

Still cant understand why Hexy made that JVR trade. That was a terrible decision.


Also, if the trade was just Schenn for Lehtara I would have been okay with it... but Hexy HADDD to go get a couple of first rounders as well..

you're either a c+ level troll or an idiot. or 13. maybe all three

Schenn isn't approaching his prime. he's in his prime. he's a good player dont get me wrong...but hes not particularly a game changer.please go cheer for the Blues now. i bet they'll love your presence on the board

It is a valid point. Schenn isnt just Cousins or Weal.. he was a legit top 6 winger/center who was one of the better PP guys in the league..

However, I think we are deeper offensively going into this season compared to last.



Out: Schenn, Cousins, Bellemare, VDV, (Weal?), MDZ, Streit, Schultz

In: Filpulla, Lehtera, Patrick, Lindblom, Morin,Hagg,Sanheim (?)

+ 2 first round picks. That's important.

You're not seeing the big picture and are comparing what they might score to what they scored last season rather than thinking about what they might score with the addition of more skill, improved play from players who struggled and what Schenn might have given them.
- MJL

On the flip side of that, Schenn took advantage of Harntell's exit to start producing at the level he is at now. Similar opportunities have been opened up for the younger forwards on the team.

Raffl had 22 points in 13-14. Gagne had zero.



Hilarious hypocrisy coming from the guy who has his tongue stuck all the way up Matt Murray's bumhole.

No one ever said Hextall was doing a tear down, and yet he has amassed the best prospect pool in the the league while keeping his two leading scorers, Giroux and Voracek.
- Feanor

With that amazing prospect pool, we will be spared watching A-Mac on the top pairing again this year. Thank god for that!

It isn't at all about next season. It's realizing that the future of this team is Hextalls plan and the 2 firsts. This current club and results next season are largely irrrelevant.

Sad but true. It's rebuild. Low key but it's a rebuild.

He could never get that one-timer down that Hartsy would rip from the slot.

I agree.. I also love the fact that we have two picks in round one again next year... Could even package them to move up again... Who knows.

Ultimately, we are just starting to open the window. The next 2 years will be introductory, but year 3 should see them as true contenders..

I thought he got it going pretty good at time. Though went Hartnell was feeling it he would score hat tricks at will.

This is going to be a thing now.. isnt it?
