Mike Greir waited that long to get a 1st round pick caked in dog poop.

I hate this league, so, so much.

Montreal gets Casey DeSmith and Petry to help balance the cap in this trade.

Kevyn Adams gets involved in nothing as usual.

He (frank)ing sucks

Looks like PITT also retained 25% on Petry too.

oh look at that. 1st, 2nd, junkjunkjunkjunkjunk
- TheSabresTaco

Grier did well imo.


Only retained $1.5 and got a first. That's a nice bit of business

I was absolutely waiting for this.
- TheSabresTaco

I said a god damn month ago DeSmith should be a target and someone to go after to help facilitate a Karlsson trade.

Don’t worry. In December when UPL is rocking an .889 SV% half the people here will go

“whO cOUld he HAvE goT?”

well hopefully the pens still suck for their sake. norris trophy defensemen collects 1 first round pick. yes i see the contract and the age.

you're telling me you can't pull 1 single prospect worth a (frank)

Do the Penguins have one to give?

ill be honest there's no scenario that i want kevyn going after casey desmith and saying welp job well done, because that would be a joke.

Seems clear they were not interested in retaining in the realm of 50% to help try and pry that prospect away.

I don't blame them.

they have a bundle of B prospects and beck. so 'worth a (frank)' is subjective I suppose.

hoffman gets the sharks a second

same for granlund, if he rebounds

a 4th maybe for rutta

He’s better than UPL and that’s not really up for debate.

Finished with a plus goals saved above expected. He was better than Jarry

seems like a favor trade to karlsson more than anything.

As usual, the value is underwhelming.

The only valuable trades in this league are for top 3 defensemen in their primes.

career desmith is what career UPL will be.

sorry, not buying it.

Well then you’re wrong but that’s okay.

But he’s had a good save percentage his entire career. He’s advanced stats are worlds better than UPL.

my guess is taco is not a fan of goalies that had to perform community service

Lol.

Now we’re gonna do the thing where UPL actually is the best option huh?

ive wanted upl shot into the sun for the past 2 years

maybe. i dont trust goalies anymore.
- TheSabresTaco

Haha that is fair.

- homiedclown

Taco will be back as soon as he can find a goaltender WOWY chart that backs up his opinion.

I’m surprised all 3 teams didn’t wait until closer to training camp to increase ticket sales.

Lol.

Adams said as much after free agency

Goalies are too random for him to comprehend so there's no point in trying to upgrade

Haha that is fair.

the more i try to dissect these guys the more you realize they really are voodoo and it matters very (frank)ing much what the team does in front of them.

im not a gibson stump like some here but his team, i feel, makes him worse than he actually is, or would be somewhere else.
