Re: Around The League: 2013 - 2014 Season

It's really really poor decision making from guys like Franson, Gardiner, etc, IMO. Rielly too I suppose but I chalk that up more to inexperience than anything.

I think we really missed the boat on the Feaster firesale (Bouwmeester).

You & us both. St. Louis gave up close to nothing of value for a #2.

and the Flames only gave up a journeyman (Leopold) to get him in the first place.

Lucky leafs. We're losing 2-0, got some lucky bounces and won.

A side from that, the sens may miss the playoffs.

I don't recall but wasn't that because they moved him at the end of the season when he was UFA?

Trade deadline for peanuts.

Led by lucky Phil, who's really getting lucky lately and becoming one of the most productive dudes in the NHL.

He wasn't traded at the deadline by the panthers. They kept him because they were in playoff race.

Yeah... usually trade deadline gets you a premium drink with those peanuts.

Okay... and?

Trade deadline for peanuts.

Bouwmeester moved from Florida to Calgary just prior to him becoming a UFA... not at the deadline.

Just checked. JBO and Leopold were both UFAs and their negotiation rights were exchanged days before July 1st.

He couldn't pass the puck eh? Selfish.

Anyway, like GGpx said, JBO costs the Blues very little - a low first rounder and 2 B prospects

She's too busy celebrating their victory over the contending sens. While I'm busy wheeping over our ot loss.

I was talking about the trade from Calgary to STL.

He was a pending UFA and Florida traded him after the season. He wasn't going to fetch them much.

The Bouwmester trade is one of the examples of why I would never be hesitant to trade my first round pick and why I believe they're the most overrated assets in hockey.

Imagine if we had traded, say, 2013 1st + Brady Vail + Charles Hudon for Bouwmester.

Would anyone here even think twice about that?

Re: Around The League: 2013 - 2014 Season

I'd think twice... three times... hell I'd think about how great it was all the time.
