you should give him a 3 year extension based off of this.

Yes, because that’s exactly what I said. What do windows taste like? Windex and disappointment?

I don’t think Hall for Larsson was as egregious in hindsight.

So how do you trade Talbot last year when he’s only putting up average numbers and has a contract of 4.166667 mill with a year left on it? How do you get value for him? You can’t blame everything on Chiarelli. Most, not all

Trade deadline bait? He wasnt worthless then...

you justifying anything other than Chiarelli finding Koskinen, which you probably aren't giving enough credit to the scouting department, and giving him praise where it probably isn't earned, is absurd. Due to being ratio'd though, you can have Koskinen.

Saying its not Peter Chirelli's fault for trading Talbot when he is average and doesn't have value is again, stupid, as guess who signed him to that extension with those terms in the first place....

Again, we can keep going. I am being as objective as I can as a 3rd party with absolutely zero bias. Peter Chirelli is the reason your team sucks. being 1.4 over the cap and surrounding the best player in the world with THAT roster is beyond being defended. He is the reason you aren't a contender.

Teams that are contenders, that would want to pick up another goalie at the deadline are usually spending right at the cap. So how does a team like that bring in a backup goalie that’s getting paid over 4 mill with another year on the deal. How do you fit that under the cap?

4.166667 mill for 3 years for a goalie that had played like a MVP the season before is an unreasonable contract. You’re right.

nah it was worse
- Codes1087

No. You got a top four defenseman. You gave up Barzal and a top six player in Belugawhale for nothing.

Just like Harambe

Where the (frank) is Harambe? Reveen. Where is he?

- Iloveeveryone

you paid a 2nd/3rd/7th for a goalie who gave you 1 hell of a season, and is basically a backup now, with what you are now saying, has little trade value.

The oil have always needed more than a top 4 defenseman though, and they gave up a superstar and Hart trophy winger to land a top 4? Again, not to open up old wounds, but that trade is completely indefensible.

A 2nd, 3rd and a 7th is a very good price for one year of MVP quality goaltending. But I’m outta here. My IQ is getting lower by the minute conversing with you.

It is defensible. But not right. It’s a terrible trade. But giving up a first line center and top six winger for an AHL defenseman? That’s worse. I say that because I said in hindsight.

i get what you are saying, but its hard to even compare the two, as they are equally awful but for completely different reasons.

So. Just watched two hours of McDavid highlights. He’s 100 times better than Crosby skill wise.
