Popular Post stawns Posted January 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) 5 minutes ago, PhillipBlunt said: Exactly. Why was there an urgency to sign a player who had one good year, way before the pressure was really on to do so, and then the decision to lowball a player who had dedicated his entire NHL career (up to this day) to this team and the fans? How people don't see that as poor management, and completely lacking in any kind of character is beyond me. Completely beyond me. There's two ways that make this even remotely palatable. First, they circle back to Bo in the summer (if he doesn't re-sign) and two, miller is next. The thought of watching this toxic pos for the next 7 years is sickening Edited January 30, 2023 by stawns 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a decent hockey trade. From my point of view, i wasnt expecting a fleece. Bo is a UFA and argument can be made that this is a fair trade in terms of precedent. What bugs me is that this D is arguably the worst we have had in 20 years and if you are going to trade your highest value chip (assuming they arent moving QH, EP and TD) you would hope the return would address the biggest hole and at least return a B level RHD (in addition to a pick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandmaster Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Lou Lam traded the pick that turned to Bo for Schneider. Full circle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are all hoping for just that scenario. This year's first round is stacked.

iinatcc Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) 5 minutes ago, N7Nucks said: Because management prioritized Miller over Bo. Management never seemed to like Horvat. Signing Mikheyev is why we're losing Boeser, but it's not why we are losing Horvat. Management was never high on Horvat. Also, I imagine the Kuzmenko re-sign also killed any chances at Horvat. No mention of him in your crybaby post. Remind me where Barzal was drafted again? Middle of the 1st, huh. We can play this what-if game both ways. It could be as you say, it could also be a 1st line, top 2 D talent. The fact is we weren't keeping Bo, we got some futures. It's better than nothing. And isn't as bad as people claim. 99 pts in a season will do that I don't blame management picking Miller over Horvat last season the Miller and Horvat camps were split pretty even. So it's not like it's managements fault for basically flipping a coin to decide. Edit I am not arguing against you just making a point on this topic in general Edited January 31, 2023 by iinatcc 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People looking at his points don't understand his most valuable asset which is his two way game. Him and petey as number 1 and 2 C is perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 24 minutes ago, Salacious Crumb said: Umm…Kesler scored over 40 goals and won a Selke in the same season. As nice a guy and player as Bo is, he is never in any danger of winning a Selke. It’s awesome seeing the Doomsayers running around today. Lets see how this trade looks in a few years. The first round pick hasn’t even been named yet and the whingeing is ridiculous. You can not for one instance suggest that Kesler with his NTC and demands for only 2 teams being on his trade list that returned a young 23 year old LHD (sbisa) a young LHC (Bonino) a 1st (McCann) and a 3rd (Keegan) from a divisional rival was a harder sell than Horvat at $2.17 million pro rated to literally anywhere for a 25 year old $4 million LW an unknown LHC and a protected 1st Both were rentals but Benning absolutely got a better return. A comparable return from the Islanders would have been a 1st, 3rd, Romanov, Raty. Which is again; arguably a better return than what has been garnered.

Popular Post DeltaSwede Posted January 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2023 I am happy with the return. Aatu Raty is a really exciting prospect with a ton of potential. Feels like the pick will land closer to top 12 than not, 13-18 range if we pick. Even with Bo, the east is a beast this year and I don't think they have what it takes. Would be an interesting scenario if it ends up sliding to 2024 with an Isles team possibly without Bo on it as well. So 13-18 range this year or top 10 next. Sign me up on that one. B+ on the return. 1 4 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Raty is going to be a heck of a player.. 6'2 185lbs. Has speed and a great release. Edited January 31, 2023 by WHL rocks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
