So do we. I just don't want to give up assets for him.

Ok. I won't be surprised when it doesn't happen either.

Ill adviced for Hawks but the return wasn't that great for Columbus either. Boqvist, placed on waivers, Jiricek, traded, and Sillinger.

Neither team "won" that trade, but Columbus didn't lose as badly considering they're not stuck with that contract.
The Sabres rebuild keeps on fucking up. Picking Owen Powers 1st overall (I know someone who had Owen Powers further down his board beyond the consensus, but that's for another time in another thread) and in the last decade, any time they choose to take a forward in the top-10, they seemingly always take the same profile... 5'11 to 6'1, awesome in the AHL, can't hack it in the NHL.
Trading Eichel because they didn't want to let him get his surgery was astonishingly stupid as well.
Random thought: How, exactly, has San Jose's rebuild been a fuck-up? They're doing fantastic with their picks and guess what? They'll probably be shit next year too. They've gotten rid of most of their bad contracts and don't have much money locked up long-term.
Buffalo & Detroit are the models for messing up their rebuilds.

Who said SJ rebuild is a fuck up? They seem to be going in the right direction, albeit slowly.

Speaking of Jones, he’s 30, 4 years remaining on his contract, RHD, if Chicago eats like 2M of his contract, any interest?

No they’re actually all saying that Grier has them on the right track. They’re mostly bashing Chicago and Buffalo.

Well, okay sure, but the headline is asking the question. I don't understand why they're including San Jose in the questioning. Even Chicago, I'm not sure why they're included.
It's a question that should be kept for Buffalo, Detroit, and possibly even Anaheim. What's worrying for Anaheim is how little improvement any of their young prospects have had.
