What a sad set of years. I was actually excited about Luke Adam, McNabb and...I'll admit it...Kassian. So many misses it's hard to believe we weren't worse sooner. Lord I hope these times are done.

They are.

Botterill is currently fixing this mess.

You know what's amazing? JB was able to get s top 4 D and a top 9 player without having to trade first round picks.

Yeah, he's doing well thus far. Still am shocked at how little the price as to acquire Scandella. Seems like was essentially Foligno and a 3rd for 4th swap.

I dunno if that's been settled or not.

New ownership coming in soon, pending league approval. Chuck Greenberg and a group of local investors, apparently.

- BINGO!



That's good. They really need to get people in the building.

I think I heard something about it, but I don't think it was settled yet.

Pretty much.

Pominville for Ennis was a win, saved them a little cap and we got the better player

Yeah figured that was a wash, as you said we upgrade, they save. I like Foligno more than most, thought he was more than a 4th line player and could do well if he ever saw a playoff game.

At the same point, I'm still surprised there wasn't another team that would have offered a bit more for Scandella. Yeah the cap situation limits options, but it isn't as though there weren't at least a half dozen other teams with the room to finagle and in need of a top4 D.

Right about the immigrants, or just right about being drunk?

Both but especially the immigrants part.

Not sure I'm interested in Markov after that music video he made. Could call CPS for involving the children in something that heinous.

At least we got a return. He was going to get picked up by someone if he was released. Wonder what the conditions are.

Why funny, this is a good move in my opinion. Get something for a guy that was not making team.

Yeah can't imagine it's much of a return. He was on his way to being cut I guess. Hopefully we'll get something out of it.

If it's the size of 3 doughnuts, sure.
