  1. I'm wondering who he played with cause a bunch of his normal linemates got points. Wondering if they changed some lines up or whether he was just being a big body in front?
  2. Agreed, we needed a top prospect in the organization. Markstrom has the tools, and if he gets close to his potential we will have a goalie for the next 8 years. On top of that Matthias will be a useful forward for another 6 years probably. If he can develope into a 20 + 20 guy that will be pretty great. Wish we had him in 2012. This deal has a lot of potential, it equates to two second round picks, and the best part is we already know they are at least serviceable NHLer's. Most of our second round picks haven't worked out and I'm okay with acquiring these guys vs picks. Little excited to see them tomorrow.
  3. We need to pull a Buffalo and trade Hes for a first, second established guy, then flip the established guy for more picks/ better player. Buff played the Vanek/Molson situation perfectly.
  4. There were no great offers today from what everyone was saying. So be thankful we are not freaking out about how we traded kes for a third liner and first. or for 2 firsts. None of the good teams want to give up their young roster players. It set Ottawa back last year and that is lingering. Every GM knows if Kes doesn't work for them they are fired so they don't want to give up the future.
  5. If this did fall onto the owners it would be very unfortunate, but It's their business they pay the bills they deal with the consequences of all of the actions the team makes. If you put yourself in their shoes, this trade would either make you millions or lose you millions in the long run, so it's understandable for them to be gun shy.
  6. Also heard that Anahiem was pushing for Kes, but I expect the price was very high for a divisional team, and that Kes may have not wanted to go there. If Pit was only offering Sutter and 2 picks that would have been a very poor trade for Gillis to make. Really hoping to get some top 6 talent in return for Kes not bottom 6 players and late first round picks. I'm glad GIllis didn't make a bad trade, but sad because it means the market value for Kes was probably not very close to what we would expect... That doesn't bode well for us in a rebuild stage.
  7. Marky Mark and The stork will be the best goaltending duo in the NHL in two years. One of them will be a goalie for Sweden one day! Yeww! Very stoked to have some more youth in the club. Stoked to see what a motivated Matthias can do
  8. TSN Reporting Canucks only trade was Diaz to NYR today. Disappointing to say the least.
  9. He was told to play wing, and went full Kesler... I actually didn't see what happened to Richie. Feeling bad for the Elder statesmen on the team who are just now learning that management is not going to be pursuing a cup this year. Kinda sad for guys like Juice, Burr, Higgi etc.
  10. I like the Anaheim trade because the organization gets a lot better, Kesler won't be their forever. If we can pick up the best pieces from them then why not?
  11. Looks like Markstrom, Matthias, 800k retain for Luongo, Steve Anthony
  12. Looks like Markstorm, Matthias, 800k retain for Luongo, Steve Anthony
  13. Stoked for Matthias!!! and Markstrom!!! wonder how much cap is retained?
  14. I hope the Philly offer is true and includes Schenn if it does, get er done MG.
  15. If we can get a deal done with philly I think most people on CDC will be happy. If we can get that Philly and Detroit package DeNiro was suggesting we improve now and for the future
  16. Hoping MG doesn't do the opposite of the Schneider trade and go too early for less value. We really need to pick up something we don't already have in the wings.
  17. Interesting valuation of Kesler from a Detroit perspective D Helm B Smith 1st 3rd. http://www.wingingit...nday-trade-talk Pretty much Garbage but they are basing that off of the Pen's proposal
  18. Interesting perspective from Pitts side http://www.pensburgh.com/2014/3/2/5463502/kesler-vs-sutter-is-it-really-worth-it
  19. Another assist for Evan today
  20. Sutter = Richardson when Richardson was 25. why would we want that? No sense in it with how many C prospects we have coming up. We should be going for BPA in this trade as long as they are under 24. 25 is too old already unless they are a star in the league. Please please MG Get a deal for Coutourier or Schenn instead!
