Hasn't he, you know, made the all star team?

Lol the NHL did. The one's that selected him to the all star team.Oh and TEAM USA for the Olympics. Clearly when you're recognized internationally and nationally league wide, it must mean something.....

I seem to remember hearing that, but since forgot it. What a joke of a tournament format. They may as well have a team full of goons or a team full of celebrities who can play hockey (basically Canadian celebrities).

One forward plus Smith or younger D and picks is not gutting the roster

Under 23 ...it's even on the crest

I'm sorry but that's ridiculous in my opinion. Mrazek is our future. We haven't had a goalie like this in?

points don't tell the whole story. He's the third rh D on their roster which means either he gets less time or he plays his off wing, something not everyone can effectively do. No, hes not a guarantee to be a top pair D, bit nobody is, and he has a better chance than anyone Detroit has now. As for Mrazek, he had a good half season them was hot garbage after mid February, and there's a long list of goalies who impressed early and flamed out, so there's no guarantee there either. Would I for sure do Mrazek for Trouba, I dont know. I'd damn sure consider it though. A forward other than Larkin plus a d going to Winnipeg, that's a no-brainer. But it's a moot point since we all know Holland is as capable of making a trade as a eunuch is of becoming a dad.

That's a pretty gross overpayment. That's a star-level package, and once again, Trouba is not a star. He's the 3RD defenseman on the fricking Jets. We are not the Jets 3rd D away from being a contender. We add Trouba, chances are he doesn't make us significantly better. Why would anyone think he would? He hasn't made the Jets better. Trouba is by far the most over-rated player in the league around here. I guess people are just that desperate. You may be right. Overpaying for Trouba (or someone else) probably wouldn't hurt us too much. If we could get someone for picks/prospects, even if overpaying, I might do still do it. The big problem with that is that it doesn't work for us cap-wise. The other problem is that the teams that are offering what we want are not rebuilding. A "quantity" package, even an overpayment, isn't likely to be the most appealing offer to them.

I don't care what I pee in as long as I don't have to wait

Especially before they mess up their beautifully painted mask...

I remember a few articles praising Howard's masks as some of the best in the league, I guess Mrazek took that away from him as well

Jedi is gonna be so pissed when he comes back to this thread
