thejazz97 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Absolutely no guarantees he's traded whatsoever, but screw it, send me your best offer on Drouin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 45 minutes ago, Captain Woodget said: The only similarity between Vrbata and Datsyuk is that they both breathe oxygen. It's like saying Idi Amin is a poor man's Nelson Mandela. LOL! Good comparison but honestly based on his first season with us, he was definitely a poor man's datsyuk. Based on last year I can't disagree with you. His defensive game when he was on his game was extremely underrated... Nothing went right in his second year though. It was just poor asset management for us not to keep him with the twins. Even when he was playing with bones the previous year, they were clicking big time. Had sutter not gone down, things likely would have panned out differently. Although I don't think either sutter or Bo were ideal centers for him. On one hand I want him to do well this year since he's on my team... On the other hand, if he does well it's bad for us since he'll be in our division. Guess we'll see how things pan out... Another 20+ goal season wouldn't shock me though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another 20+ goal season wouldn't shock me though Radim Vrbata in his prime would be to Pavel Datsyuk's worst season as Spongebob Squarepants is to the Oscars. Not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath. Vrbata can put a puck in a net, big whoop. So can a great many players. What Vrbata can't do is: - Play with intensity - Lead a team - Get his head down and work hard when things aren't going his way - Make players around him better - Make the all-star game year after year - Dangle - Lay claim to being one of the best NHL players of all time - Win the respect of his team mates and opponents - Leave his team in the lurch and have them say 'okay sir, whatever you say sir' - Touch this I could write a long and expansive list, but even in his wildest dreams, Radim Vrbata is only ever as good as Martin Rucinsky. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 MM, SV and I are getting the last of the UFA offers polished off. It's the quiet part of the summer so if you have any RFAs to sign, or UFAs on the market you fancy, now's a good time to get offers in before silly season kicks in next month.
