I am so glad Gagliardi bought the Stars and was denied buying the Canucks even if Kris Russell is at best a lateral

As in he can lay laterally on the ice and hope a puck hits him?


I don't see how he's an upgrade or even to jyrki (and a huge name downgrade) and they threw in a 2nd/1st on top of it. Nill got drunk and lost a bet or something.

I don't know if the isles have a spot for this Prince dude in the NHL lineup, plan to use him as a 13th forward, or just own the AHL right now. He'd be a good add to the 4th line to replace Matt Martin but there's no way Capuano breaks up The Best Fourth Line in Hockey(tm) to do that

why would they do that? for the record, you are agreeing with the majority of HF board members.


for reference, this is what a (former) player thinks of the situation:



id imagine most players feel the same. they put in the work, and when needed, they fulfilled their assignments to the AHL. i doubt any players have a modicum of relatability to what drouin is doing.

the only people upset, are fans of other teams that just wanted to trade for drouin/see more trades/just have an all around bad opinion about hockey stuff

Benning said that they offered Hamhuis to Dallas for a similar package that Russell got.

So who's dumber: Dallas for choosing Russell over Hamhuis or Vancouver for not getting ANYTHING for Hamhuis?

st louis was an olympic snubbing, fine whatever. stamkos leaving is conjecture, and if he does it's pecuniary and not personnel. and drouin is mad about playing minutes, just like every other young player in history, except he chose to sit out.

yzerman is kicking rear end at not moving him and i think it's cool, sorry he has ripped off your precious "rangers"

We already have too many defencemen and you trade with the Oilers for one - who are well known for drafting and developing top notch blue liners.

First time Ducks have been on the losing end of a trade with Edmonton though I guess

Apparently Dreger said that we offered something, Vancouver upped the price, we matched, and they upped it again.

The likes of hamhuis and Russel are going to win this team exactly 0 more games in the playoffs than they would have by standing pat. I hate that apparently Nill doesnt have a very good eye for defense, but atleast we kept the damage to one bad trade instead of 2.

The Jim Benning presser in a nutshell: "at the end of the day."

You suck at talking and GMing man. I also like how a week ago he said unequivocally that the team was more interested in young players than picks then he just spent 30 mins basically crying about a lack of picks.
