  1. This is the ONE move I am happy wasn't made. People can bemoan his size but Garlands motor is the type of engine you win cups with. If Boeser had that kind of jive we would have had teams kicking down our door for him. Whereas if Garland had Boesers size we'd never let him go Glad he's staying put. Love this kid
  2. The facts are. We didn't clear enough cap space to sign who we have let alone meet Boesers QO or give Miller the raise he will dictate his play suggests he'll get. We actually managed to get older up front and moved sideways on the blue line. We didn't gain any appreciable picks to speak of. Essentially all we did was ensure we won't move far enough forward to gain a top 10 pick or quality lottery chance. We didn't improve enough to ensure the playoffs are a possibility. All we did was tread water while maintaining the reality of being a maximum cap team with no serious prospects. If anyone thinks this TDL was anything but meh at best from a management team/leadership group that is known for making massive amounts of trades they were watching a different team today.
  3. have already seen the fire JR/PA statements and even a few bring back GMJB So...i'll just sit back and watch
  4. Hahahahahaha. This thread will be fun Traded a guy people loved for less than their perceived value of him without considering he might have been to expensive to retain anyways. Let's watch.
  5. He's going nowhere, which was always an option. Value won't diminish extremely, but we should be trying to prepare for what happens int eh off season with Boesers QO and the possibility of a $9+ million AAV Miller contract. Damned if they do, damned if they don't. But by doing the don't or doing the do; it makes the offseason job that much harder
  6. I'm meh about the whole thing. The risk was always doing nothing. Which leads to wtf do we do about Boeser, How much do we pay Miller. Is Bo a 2nd or 3rd line centre? is Petey an actual 1c? How the hell do we actually help the defense on a dollar store budget and zero prospects while ensuring Rathbone never gets a shot at LHD in the NHL on this team If the team does nothing so be it. It will make PA/JR and managements jobs that much harder coming in to the off season which makes our jobs as armchair GMs and fans that much more interesting.
  7. So uh... tomorrow should be fun now.  Go go TDL.

  8. I dunno, looking at that underwhelming return for Giordano vs what the Habs got for Chiarot I am kind of middle of the road
  9. Nothing for Markstrom. Tofolli. Tanev etc etc etc You know, the things people complain about every other day on here. But we need to keep Miller until we know. Or he Tavares' us
  10. Why do I have the feeling some people would complain for the return if any on Halak if he gets traded? Kinda seems like people would complain about that too
  11. But now he's not a Leaf so he was expendable and truly the anchor that held the club back and the Leafs were lucky to find a club desperate enough to take him off their hands tronna
  12. Wait...how? Didn't he just go to the kraken as per the Giordano trade ? I'm genuinely nervous about this as we haven't see any cost or return with this being JR and PAs first real move and having yet another LHD like Dermott is kind of redundant after giving up Harmonic. I'm blabbering here but ...could be meh, could be yikes. Could be Halak and we all drink to celebrate.
  13. I just wanna see him go somewhere where he'll be in the playoffs. His streak must stay alive
  14. Looking at Miller being neutralized effectively now and the team folding behind him. So...how's that fantasy again?
  15. We're seeing right now what happens when Miller is shut down and out by a quality defense. Without him producing the rest of the team is without an engine, driver, motivator? Call it what you will. We have way to many holes still existing in this team to be calling it a contender when only one person needs to be shut down to make the whole team ineffective. Also, makers mark is still a crappy bourbon
  16. We'd also have a top 10 pick this year as well after that trade so I'm in!!
  17. I am actually shocked that with all of the returns players are getting that the Flyers retained on Giroux AND gave up a pick AND 2 younger players. I get Giroux handcuffed the team with a single destination but I am still shocked all they managed was a 1st, 3rd and Tippett
  18. If the picks and prospects flop in 2-3 years we can move on. If we sign Miller to a $9+ million contract and he becomes a 50 point player a season later like almost all of the comparable players seem to have; then we're stuck with that for 6-7 more years
  19. But...if he can, why hasn't he? It's gotta be a trade that works and GMs aren't lining up for them
