It doesn’t
But if you’re gonna complain about what u think Botts will do in the future,
isn’t it reasonable to discuss what you’d like to see happen??

Your Tampa idea is interesting
I think Mitts AND the 1st is too much
E Rod doesn’t have any value imo,
so i don’t think he matters one way or the other

I believe the Lightning would say not enough to the offer in bold for Cirelli.

Is Cirelli a 60pt Center

Which tells me I'm close. I'll throw in Samuelson and they can throw in a 3rd

Every year we talk about the Lightning having to trade away a good player and every year they never have to.

This is also true

The above was a hypothetical as a trade for a "BTB" or better than Bonino

Also I dont think JB would ever trade Mittelstadt and a 1st in a deal

Is Cirelli a 60pt Center
- Buff36

I don’t know about that but I think he was one of the tough guys pushing our petunia players around. Cernak was the other one. Tougher than our whole team put together.

If they called at the draft and offered that, I'd accept immediately. I'm done with maybes and picks. I'll take the 60 point center
- jcragcrumple

Fair enough

So let me ask this then,
do u make more moves like that as well?

Bc just adding Cirelli doesn’t make us a Cup contender
*i like him a lot btw

Really?
I think they’d do that in a heartbeat
It also includes a good amount of Cap space for them as well

Do u think Mitts just doesn’t have value & is seen as a bust?

And just think 1 of the 2nd we gave to LA in the McNabb trade turned into Cernak

You can take this with a grain of salt, but had a buddy that used to work for Empire Sports back in the day, now does sports radio for ESPN, more football related, but got a little tid bit about Chicago and Strome last week, Mitts was a player in the Conversation and from what he said, it was turned down.

Hated that trade from the second it happened

Had to listen to a bunch of ppl on here that i should calm down

Well... the trade did suck then
And it still sucks now

THANKS GMTM! YOUR SERVICES ARE MISSED!

But there was another player involved to Kubilak.

If Botts survives the summer

Risto
Cozens and Casey will determine his future

A windmill will kill many bald eagles. After a certain number, they make you turn the windmill off, that is true. By the way, they make you turn it off. And yet, if you killed one, they put you in jail. That is OK. But why is it OK for windmills to destroy the bird population?

But there was another player involved to Kubilak.
- Buff36

Wow!!! I am shocked Chicago didn’t want Mitts for Strome AND Kubilak. Bowman’s drinking Drano

Them, from what he said.
- Buff36

Hmmm...
They both have roughly the same ceiling
Maybe it would be better to take the guy we know is a 55-60pt player,
then to see if Mitts will ever achieve his upside

It’s weird that there’s even rumors about Strome
Wonder why Chicago is considering moving a young player who’s performing pretty well

77 if you go to GR archives about some of the picks traded away in that time, you would be amazed how much potential we missed out on.

There was more involved, but Kubilak is playing pretty good hockey for them.

It’s amazing none of them have a Selke and Conn Smythe by now if you ask me.

True, but we talking AHL Mitts good? Sounds like that would’ve been a home run for the Hawks.

He was a healthy scratch there last game. He's a RFA after the year. Think they have other options.

Give it time, most have just started there career's. Ya know Point, Aho, Boeser.

Tough to say who we’d have picked though
GMTM has proven to not have had a great draft record
But with all those picks he did move,
probably would’ve hit on a couple by accident at least

My problem with the McNabb one was that it just didn’t make any sense

I did like the ROR & Kane trades though
Too bad they aren’t still here
Funny how everyone is saying we need a 2C and a Top6 winger...
Yet most on here wanted both of those guys gone

Smh.....

His best Conn was pretending he stopped loving hockey so he could facilitate his way off his second NHL team
