We could've gotten Garland with the 1st we gave them. I'd have rather ridden out the last year of those contracts for sure, especially if the cost of getting rid of them was eating an additional 6 years and 7.2 mil cap hit.

For the Yotes, the trade focus was about getting rid of OEL's contract. So I doubt Garland for a 1st would have happened. A lot of work wen into putting together that trade for both teams. There was nothing simple about it.

You said Burke didn't finish 2nd last. In his first season as GM they did finished 2nd last.

It's called the Lefty Flip Flop

And this is where BPA isn't always the be all end all strategy. If your team is a black hole of D prospects, and the BPA is a 152 pound winger, you trade down, get more picks, and take a the best D available. If defenseman take longer to develop, you better draft more of them to built a future team.

Guessing game continues Carse...

On another note...saw a bunch of live footage of Geoff Tate he is doing a small tour with a pretty tight band doing Queensryche songs. Check it if you can still got some pipes and the music sounds solid.

I'm one of the worse I'll admit..

At least you have evolved...

Turned the Flames game off when Hrudey said Tanev should be in consideration for the Norris...

I heard that as well. Hmmmmmm.

I would rather have those deadmeat contracts expiring in a couple of months and have that cap space, and the draft picks given up instead of hafling Garland and OEL deadmeat contract.

OEL 15 points, good value.

How can you hear anything KY-Man when the red mile is sooooo loud? Cup may as well be in CGY already...

Young players > picks in the JTM return. Trade Motte, Chiasson, Halak etc for picks. Get good players from JTM.

I like Reuby’s trade suggestion with NJ yesterday. Ship QH to the Devils.
