Sharpshooter Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 You can't trade your star player for non roster players/picks that won't play for your team for 3 years. By the way, you can't be shortsighted in a trade. Boston traded their star, for those random mediocre parts, trades some of those parts for some key players in their cup run (and allowing cap room for others)... I actually believe BOTH teams got better. New York, because they have plenty of depth down the lineup, but adding Nash gives them a big game breaker, to take the pressure off their other scorers. CBJ got better because they aren't in the position where one star will help them as much as strengthening their roster in multiple ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFCanuck Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Gillis said Howson asked for something that would destroy our team. I think he severely overpriced Rick Nash, took almost all of the teams out of the bidding as they went elsewhere during FA. Then all of a sudden Philly drops out and goes for Weber. Now he's left with only the NYR. Hey at least he got something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Um, no...no it does not. Tim Erixon is a fantastic defensive prospect - heads and tails over Tanev. Dubinsky is obviously far superior to Raymond (he's probably slightly ahead of Booth). And Anisimov is a 6'4", 212 lb. center who is versatile (can play wing), was 1/2 a ppg in the playoffs, and just turned 24. He's no 'throw-in'. +1 - glad at least someone gets it. Howson didn't do too bad, all things considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sedin's 6th Sense Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Sather with the Robbery! Dubinsky, Anisimov, 1st, and Erixon. Steal. All pieces were expendable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 @BDubi17 I would like to thank all of my fans and the city of New York for everything! My 8 years being part of the NYR have been magical. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 LOL - Howson sucks balls! Traded away the best power forward in the game, was arguably Canada's top player in te Olympics too, for a tough top 6'er in Dubinksy, a shaky top 6'er in Anisimov, a late 1st, and a really shaky prospect in Erixon ....not lying, but Booth, Ballard, Raymond, 1st, Sauve would've been a better deal than that. Wow, just wow, and to then think he's not been fired yet, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastal1 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Rangers will suck more. Gaborik and Richards getting older. The reason why they finish first was depth and team work. Now they will likely lose Del Zotto/Girardi and Stepan or Kreider and1or Dubinsky. They lost prust to UFA. Not sure who will fill the void?? Happy he's going to the east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Bunnies Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I really think Howson had better offers on the table but didn't bite because he thought he could've gotten more and teams probably withdrew their offers and looked elsewhere, Philly and New York were probably the top 2 teams running for Nash but Philly probably turned to Weber after realizing what Howsons' asking for. Howson probably took this deal before even New York turns away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
