Watching this Cup win took me back to 97 for sure. Definitely some parallels. Very happy for Ovie finally getting his Cup.

This team kills me. Stop trying. Stop. Come on. Pride ain’t worth s*** if the team is s***. Do better...at tanking.

I don’t even really dislike the deal in terms of the return, but I think Mrazek was mismanaged and unless he somehow sneaks back into the fold this summer as a UFA, I think this was a dumb move. As I’ve said all along, we are sorely lacking in prospects with his upside. He squandered a lot of good faith, but beggars can’t be choosers unless they want to live with regret. I think there’s a high likelihood we’ll regret this one. And f***, Mrazek has been good in the playoffs. That’s what really kills me. He seems to have that rare extra gear. Will be interesting to see how he plays with Philly in the playoffs.

$4-4.5 mil for 2-3 years would sit okay with me if he’s healthy. Still should’ve found a way to trade him.

Viagra is for closers.

Exactly. This is way too fishy. I think Kenny went soft. We’ve seen it many times before.

So you're telling me you couldn't get anything for Green at all? I just don't buy this line one bit. A minor neck injury that he's close to coming back from shouldn't dramatically affect a deal for someone who only a week ago was considered to be the top guy available. Something doesn't smell right about this. They should've been able to get something from someone.

I bet he signs an extension. I don't mind the idea of him signing on again, but he absolutely should've been traded. If this turns out to be some asinine loyalty move, Holland absolutely needs to GTFO of the GM office this summer. He's too soft for the cap era.

Unless there's something to the injury we don't know, this seems utterly and completely inexcusable. My mind is truly blown. This was as obvious as any move Holland has ever had to make. I had a feeling he overplayed his hand. Insane.

Anyone want to defend Holland now?

Still worried about Green relative to the teams we've heard are out and other deals and no whispers. Who didn't make a big move that was interested in Green? Didn't we hear Toronto was out? Caps out, assuming Lightning out unless we got hosed. Sharks?

Killer deal for Tatar. Kinda bummed to see him go but I definitely dig that return.

Another happy Czech gone...

For sure, but have there even been many whispers? Getting the feeling the hand might've been overplayed and it's going to be a last-minute scramble.

Well, now I'm nervous.
