  1. Not that disappointed. If Maata or Schenn weren't involved then we're better off holding onto him.
  2. This coach doesn't coach offense I swear.
  3. Lack is playing as good as Schneider. People need to get over him. He's not the next Mike Richter.
  4. Well he can sign here after next season if he wants.
  5. Hah, never happened. Unless you believe HockeyyInsider
  6. Do people really trust Tortorella to groom our next core group? I swear the guy doesn't even practice line rushes in practice. The forwards look lost in the offensive zone. Sure he may develop some gritty two way players, but what about our skilled guys? I can see him writing off a player like Jensen right away. If we are going with a youth movement, I hope Tortorella is willing to adapt. Cause whatever he was doing this season was horrible.
  7. No to Anaheim unless they pay a kings ransom. Do people really wanna play Anaheim with Getzlaf, Kesler, and Perry? We'd be dumb to trade to a team we'll be battling for years to come.
  8. Schneider for the 9th overall? You're really not going to get much better value than that. Schneider isn't Patrick Roy like many on here built him up to be. He wasn't gonna fetch us Mackinnon or some of the other ridiculous proposals people were throwing around. Maybe the real problem is overestimating player values. I'm happy getting two highly touted prospects while staying deep in net and getting alot of cap space.
  9. No ones defending Gillis, they're just happy that we got some value back for Lu and freed up cap space for rebuilding. This whole situation was a mess and Gillis is solely to blame. I'm just happy the saga is finally over and there's no more Lu vs (insert backup here).
  10. Not a good enough offer to trade to a divisional rival. Throw in Fowler and maybe.
  11. I know people get attached to players so it's hard to let go. But start getting excited for the future. We may have just robbed another goaltender from Florida just like we did with Luongo.
  12. Schenn/Couturier Horvat Matthias/Laughton Gaunce/Lain Lack Markstrom Erikssson We would be stacked down the middle with youth and in net if we can get something done with the Flyers.
  13. This definitely forces Pittsburgh to up their offer since Sutter will no longer be of use.
  14. But gained Horvat. Relax people. We've got 3 very solid Swedes in our system right now. Any one of them could break out and become a star. We've just gotta fix this teams scoring and ad some more sandpaper and things are looking up.
  15. Amazing how many people are completely oblivious to the market for goalies, including TSN. Solid goalies are going for a dime a dozen right now. Just today Fahst and Bryzgalov went for draft picks. A year ago, we couldn't even get Scrivens and two 2nd round picks for Luongo. Now we get Markstrom and Matthias, which is a better return. And are people really questioning Markstom's numbers playing for Florida? It's the Panthers people. Tim Thomas has a 2.87 GAA and a .908 SV% and he's a pretty good goalie. Markstrom is just 24 now and has a ton of seasoning in the SEL and AHL. He can still be that elite goalie. Along with Lack, we have a pretty good tandem going forward. Don't know why anyone would complain about getting younger. Even with Lu this team isn't good enough, and his value will only go down until we wouldn't have been able to get anything. Luongo, Schneider, or Lack, it was never about the goaltending with this team. Any one of these guys gave us a chance to win, but it has been the team in front of them that can't get it done. Now with an extra 4 million dollars, plus whatever other cap space we trade, we can finally start filling the holes this team has had for the last 3 years, and start injecting some youth that will play with speed and passion.
  16. I'd still take Schenn or Couturier and Morin over Sutter, Bennett, and Pouliot.
  17. Adding Schenn, Tatar, Sheahan, and Franzen (if Detroit wants to dump him) would actually make us a better team this season. Sedin Sedin Franzen Tatar Schenn Kassian Higgins Sheahan Burrows Booth Richardson Hansen
  18. Because the two separate trades would get you more? Schenn and Morin>>>Mantha and Sproul Two first round picks most likely too.
  19. The logic is you trade cross conference. Most GMs do it. You don't make your rival stronger. GMing 101.
  20. Wow, if we can get Schenn/Morin + Tatar/Sheahan and a couple 1st round picks that would be awesome.
  21. Stamkos is only 24. They have many more years to compete for a cup. Trading away an 18 year old stud 3rd overall pick for a 29 year old with two years left on his contract is not a recipe for success.
