Why does it matter if it makes the UFA class more expensive? Who do you want to sign? Tyler Myers? A trade route was always the only way to go.

OFFICIAL: #NYR have acquired defenseman Jacob Trouba from the Winnipeg Jets in exchange for Neal Pionk and the 20th overall pick in the 2019 #NHLDraft (originally from WPG).

Some people like what Z brings. Most don't.....but there are 31 GMs in the league with all different opinions.

Sadly for you it seems as if yours is one of the ones that like Z.

And yes, Mackenzie knows what hes talking about.

I think Z has a contract almost as toxic as Lucic

talk about accelerating the rebuild

I don't care what age he is.

His injuries have aged him a (frank) ton. He is slow in a league you need to be fast.,

Move on man they didn't need to trade for a 4 million dollar 3rd pairing d 2 days after the cup finals. They have a whole summer to get a D. Don't waste cap space you don't have on garbage.

St. Louis Blues - 6 fastest D in the NHL.

(frank)ing Dubas. Why didn’t he trade for a guy who doesn’t want to play in Canada?

Why?

and don't give me one single thing he doesn't do well. 99.9% of the league isn't perfect.
- Santo_44

Were I sober (and cared more to argue) I'd go more in depth but I'll just say that like Karlsson, he's a cluster(frank) defensively. And this really isn't up for debate.

Two injuries.

Guess by your math Matthews is 38 too.
- JohnFergusonJr

I just have eyes man.

Its not hard to see that the injuries have effected him.

And you are right, it doesn't seem like the injuries have affected Matthews.

You are almost there keep trying

Maatta isn’t good. Already traded. Let it go....

Subban doesn’t suck. Not worth 9m, though.

Except he does.

Teams can always use defense. A broken power forward, not so much.

Oh wow.

St. Louis Blues - 6 fastest D in the NHL.
- JohnFergusonJr

Oh sweet we are taking cup winning teams too literally now.

(frank) Defense. The Pens won with a bottom 10 D in the league.

Goal tending? nahhh The Hawks didn't need it when they had Niemi.

Offense? Yeah NSH didn't need it to go to the finals.

Except he doesn’t.
- Steven_Seagull

Everybody except Doughty and Rielly suck, including some former Norris winners. That's his stance on everything. And it's rather wrong as well as boring.

Trouba and Karlsonn gone

Leafs in 5.

St. Louis Blues - 6 fastest D in the NHL.
- JohnFergusonJr

And not good enough to make the playoffs without a rookie goalie.

Except he doesn’t.
- Steven_Seagull

But in reality, he really does. Like, really really.

Trouba's dad sucks. He's the reason he doesn't want to play in Canada.

- JohnFergusonJr

Like usual, you're wrong.

(frank)ing shocking.

But in reality, he really does. Like, really really.
- GreatGigInTheSky

No he doesn’t.

- JohnFergusonJr

You seem to go to that when you can't further debate an argument. Its getting old.

Keep it up it helps me know when you are about to talk in circles.


I bet you have never gotten a series wrong. Impossible.

How much money have you won on your perfect brackets?

I concede. He's bad.
