just caught up on all the comments in last thread and this one...


"I remember when Toews was traded and a lot of this thread, and one person in particular, was touting how he didn’t live up to the hype and had a piss poor playoffs so he was expendable. So yeah trade Wahlstrom and while we’re at it may as well trade Barzal also. Hockeybuzz GM’s is right " Capt...


Toews was moved b/c of 2 reasons... 1. they would have lost him in the expansion draft for zero b/c they could only protect 3 D-men... if you protected Pelech, Pulock, and Mayfield...who were at the time thought to be more valuable then Toews is gone.
2. they were up against the cap and had to still sign a bunch of guys..

"I say trade all young, talented, players if they hit a rough patch. Anyone under 40!!!!! " Capt..

He didn't have a great playoff series and pointing that out after the trade wasn't saying u want every young player who has a bad game gone.. it's trying to figure out why they moved a player we all liked. He was 4th or 5th most important D-man at the time and u could only protect 3.

Pretty Ironic that the guy who constanly wanted to trade Wahlstrom, Mayfield, and Bellows b/c they were a Bust .. is constanly pointing out how terrible Beau is takes shots at everyone else.

when the Islanders signed Mayfield both u and Cheif were furious they spent that much money on him for long term.. you said numerous times that Wahlstom and Bellows were busts. And constantly shtting on Beau who is basically a Career avg 20 goal scorer per 82 games... and post season avg is 25 goals per 82 games. He scores HUGE goals and works every shift.. Hit OT goal in game 6 should be enough to get him some respect. 15 goals, 14 assists in 49 playoff games.

But yeah.. he sucks.

Ummmm, ok. Well, based on the quotes that you pulled, and just reading them without any other context, I would have to lean towards that was Capt. being sarcastic. Obviously he will speak for himself. I know Tito isn't his favorite player because of the streakiness. I personally don't have anything against the kid. I think he works hard every shift and puts his heart into each game. That said, if he was put in a package to land Chychrun, I would be in favor of that.

Has Chara made any comments about his lack of movement at the TDL?

Because I'm guessing an old-school guy like Lou would have given him the option to be moved, if Chara had wanted it.

That's kind of what has been reported. Lou asked him and Chara said he wanted to finish the season here.
