Shero fell in love with the "value" of PMD's after his Goligoski trade for Neal and Niskanen. I remember him answering a question on why he chose Pouliot over a forward prospect (which we needed at the time). He cited that Neal/Goli trade and he can always use a PMD to trade for forwards. He thought they had higher value. Basically thinking two steps ahead.

Yes, now that you mention this I remember as well.

Frank Seravalli (so take it with a grain of salt) said the asking price for Rakell was 2 1sts + a team's top prospect.

Honestly a bit much. But two of those things and I'd have traded him.

Nice to see Avery Hayes get rewarded with a 2 way contract, upgraded from minor league deal. Scrappy, 22 year old wing that's 4th in goals and 5th in points in WBS with 17 g and 35 pts in 44 games. Trending towards a call up but he a wing competing with McGroarty and Koivunen.

If true, Dubas had a "not for sale" price on him. A 1st and a teams top prospect should have been enough. I still believe the sole reason he didn't move him was to keep Sid happy and interested. Didn't want to move Sid's best winger two years in a row.

For a guy that has stated you only care about actually winning, you don’t seem to enjoy winning.

Please tell me when I said I ONLY care about winning? I’ve said I won’t root for them to lose to get a draft pick that has a 7% Chance of living up to his draft status.

That said Boko’s had a regular shift the last ten minutes. So maybe Sullivan has a bit of manhood left.

Winning is secondary to playing tough.

Tage Thompson dropped the gloves in defence of his centerman last night. Too bad Rust won’t ever be able to tell his kids he did that in his career.

So now you care about winning? Not making endless posts about draft picks you know nothing about? Or trade scenarios that will absolutely never happen, or why or why not a GM is doing or not doing something based on zero information?

When I paint I use a 2 1/2 in angled Purdy soft tip nylon.

Aww man we might not get a better draft pick, or whatever dribble you guys been rambling on about for weeks.

I mean that argument would work, but these guys discredit actual rumors based on thoughts inside their own heads. I don’t comment on rumors but like everyone else on this board I have absolutely no idea about what’s actually going on. Really funny that the one dude has everyone convinced he works for the pens. That poop cracks me up. Another pt for Sid.

“It’s from Servalli so take it for what’s it worth, but I’m a stay at home Dad with 24 fantasy hockey teams, here’s what’s actually happening”.

Ok I’m done.

Haha, he's hitting the bottle hard tonight!

I believe Vic's point is when the team is winning all you ever do is come on here and cry about this guy playing too much or that guy not playing enough. But sure, you're the one guy rooting for the team to win.

Also historically when we play like poop but scrape out a win and we voice concerns about the process he always mocks people for not caring about winning. The goal posts are always getting moved

I think I’ve historically I’ve stuck pretty close to play hockey the right way, winning is all that matters, but have called the team out on both. Sometimes it’s just important to get wins, sometimes it’s more important to not get absolutely pushed around for 60 minutes. They got a win, Sid got Pts which is cool.
