Hm. I'd have to see the other offers.. but that's not bad. But, they're 2 non lottery 1sts, so you need to hope they hit on both of those.

Always good business when you do that

botts trying to clean the mess up sooner rather than later


the first was not set in stone, if 2 decent prospects came back or one really good one


it was more a case of wanting help in the next 18 months instead of 4-5 years down the road
- homiedclown

unless we're talking the elites or the truly stupid GMs, this never comes back in a deal for a rental. Definitely not a guy of value who can help you both now and in the future.

Oh I noticed. You got your maxi pads?

I tied some paracord to a roll of bounty. Heavy flow.

That says alot.

Not sure if he's going to be able to do that without taking losses in the short term.

Rangers recalled Vinni Lettieri, looks like a Rangers forward is on his way out today.

Trade deadline may not be the best place to do that. You can use futures, use them correctly and you can look out for present day botts and future botts.

Kane left Buffalo on a private airplane. We don't know if he will be returning to Buffalo again.

Monday's NHL trade deadline has Kane on the edge of his seat.

Garth's idea of a private plane is the teams chartered jet

Wasn't that GMTM's rebuild plan too? Sometimes building through the draft and patiently is, unfortunately, the way to go.

Hanzal got a first rd pick that summer and a second round pick the following year


that's a better short term return than 2 picks between 28 and 32 2-4 years down the road

Counting Seattle already. That's some 4D chess

Bring back the t-shirt cannon.

Murray was set up with endless picks, in the short term and pissed them away


It started with the Vanek return before he arrived and then moving miller, moulson, stewart, etc, etc, etc, etc


Botts was set up with a mess

if the pick is down the road in 2021, yeah it could very well be pick 32

I agree 100%, just russlin the jimmy's because I'm on the rag today.

Kane + for Sprong. They are looking for 3C help. Maybe Girgs or Larsson + a draft pick?
- SabreWest

So we've gone from a 1st, a prospect, a player, plus a pick for Kane... to Kane, a player, plus a pick for Sprong. Sure, why not?

Wow. He should have took that
- Mentalorgasm5

Why? It's been said a thousand times, Botts wants players that can help turn this thing around soon, not 5 years from now.
