Essentially, every teams fans hate the deals that don't favor their team.

Cuck you Floutier.

I know Cloutier loves trolling, and I can never tell if his blogs are meant to be serious or not (as in, I'm never quite sure if he is actually stupid or whether he just pretends to be to piss people off) but good lord these are laughable.

The only ones that seem somewhat reasonable are no. 3 and 6.

According to the Isles fans that have dropped in and even other teams fans, #3 is worse than Hitlerand Stalin combined.

It is an absolutely brutal proposal. If you think any GM would take a proposal like that serious you are kidding yourself.

Ah yes, " The Pact"

sounds kinda gay to me

It is pretty (frank)ing ridiculous. Nearly every Oiler fan would say "yes" to that deal, and nearly every Islander fan would say "no" to that deal. Thats how you know it is just plain dumb.

that's if he agrees to go. he does have NTC.

Didnt Burke say he would never ask a player to waive his NTC( I think around Kaberle).

I never thought Gretzky would be traded. I never thought a goalie with injury issues would get a 15 year contract. I never thought Phaneuf would be traded for magic beans. I never thought a team would make a goalie their captain. All you know for certain in pro sports is that Joe Armchair knows nothing.

Yeah its a lame duck proposal. Pretty obvious. Why u mad bro?

Its the type of deal that would be needed to get the 1st overall. How many times has it been repeated?

Ya...but it doesnt mean he cant get Nonis to ask.

The Isles deal is astonishingly one sided and VERY BAD for the Islanders.

1) Other then Nabokov, the Isles are the Blue Jackets of the east when it comes to Russian players — at least thus far. If the Isles had the #1 pick — they should be drafting Murray with it.

2) Snow would never give up two of their best prospects plus a #4 for the #1. Snow has never over-paid in any of his deals.

3) The reason Calvin de Haan is not in the NHL as of yet "tearing it up" is because he is not being rushed. They rushed Bailey and to a lesser extent Nino and hurt both players. D-men take longer to boot.

4) Garth snow is not going to spend key draft assets to move up in a draft to arrive at #12, draft an obviously targeted player in de Haan, nurture him to the cusp on the NHP, then trade him. Who do you think the GM of the Islander is — Mike Milbury??

5) The Islanders need DEFENSE. de Haan is one of them. Matt donovan is another. Both could make the NHl team this year, but I don't think either is a #1 guy. This brings us to Murray — who I hope the Isles can get at #4.

Then by all means, keep it. No one is begging for the pick, its Cloutier who is trying to sell it.

Edit: And neither you nor I know what it would take to get the first overall, all we can do is speculate.

He's a blogger looking for hits. He's on record not wanting to trade the pick.

As far as no one begging for it, your GM is apparently quite interested.

No matter. It will be kept unless the offer is huge. Tambellini said that publicly the day afterthought the draft. Which is why this all so funny.

I'm not one of those expecting a high first or great prospect, but the whole point of trading Luongo is to get rid of a bad long-term contract and so that Schneider can take over as the number one goalie. Trading for Bryzgalov(a lesser goalie with just as bad of a contract) doesn't help, it makes things worse.

A horrible proposal(not that I'm shocked).
- Nucker101

Yeah, they will definitely not trade with Philly if Bryzgalov is in the deal! I wouldn't either if I were Gillis

Your edit. Yes I do. A huge overpayment. Tambi came right out and said it.

- GuyLaDouche

The hilarious part is that, he's acting as GM of the Western teams and is offering these ridiculous deals out that favour the teams in the East. And of course he tries swinging for the homerun deal for his Oilers. This is a great idea(Trade Wars), but he's turning into yet another troll blog. Hopefully Yost can get this thing on track(even though his Montreal trade last time was horrible).

I'd say more Candyman than Beetlejuice.

Beetlejuice had some pizazz and personality. Candyman would stick his hook right in your sack and rip you apart.

Toronto media, Burke is interested in all picks, goalies, defenseman, and forwards, from any team.

I could say Schenn isnt going anywhere without an overpayment. And then write a blog about how EDM would have to give up RNH and Eberle to get Schenn...Just because I said it would take an overpayment, doesnt mean that Im not a complete retard to suggest that EDM would consider that deal.

Im not mad. Just seems like you defend Richard b/c he is an oilers blogger and not b/c of the trade proposal. It is stupid plain and simple. All that past poop is irrelevant to this.

Then there is no point in proposing trades for it because it won't be traded for.

It as simple as this:

You want it? You will have to make a proposal that will be an overpayment.

Too much? Then you don't want it bad enough.

Don't want it? Don't worry about what it will cost to get it.

Then there is no point in proposing trades for it because it won't be traded for.
- zach parise9

I agree with this. Clouts should have made another proposal that does not involve the 1st and did involve trading other stuff to get another 1st round pick in the Top 8.

How about Radulov for Plekanec?
