Holland's best offseason this decade?

http://blackhawks-shock-everyone-trade-saad-to-blue-jackets-for-package-including-anisimov-dano I'm starting to just get the feeling that none of the other kids like playing with us

I notice that a lot of people are high on Bertuzzi and Holmstrom. Is it justified? I dont know much about either of them other than their familiar names.

You're talking out of your ass.First of all, since he'll be serving time in jail, not prison, there is no such thing as minimum or maximum security. There's just jail. It's the same for everybody. And LA County's main facility, the Twin Towers, is no joke. Unless he PC's up, he'll be spending his 90 days in a 80 man cell full of gang bangers, drug addicts, and murders awaiting trial. Speaking of those 90 days, since his crime is violent in nature he would be ineligible for any sort of work release program, house arrest or anything of the sort. I'm not certain, but I don't even think he is going to get credit for good behavior. I'd be willing to bet good money that he'll be serving the full 90 days in one of the worst facilities in the nation. This isn't the 80's or something bro. His lawyer might have gotten him the most favorable outcome possible, but California's DOC takes violent and domestic abuse sentences VERY seriously, and his semi-celebrity status will not buy him any sort of preferential treatment out here.

Kronwall - Smith DeKeyser - Green Kindl - Ericsson Quincey Too much offense?

I just saw that Porter signed in Pitt. I'm really curious to know if Cole and Zidlicky are done with hockey? And Weiss for that matter?

I wonder if Cleary's wife will enjoy the weather in Toronto?

He's going to be a huge boost to our third pairing.

Whoa! No need to get vulgar bro!

Well, look who decided to come late! Listen, im no Semin expert, but the sole fact that he shoots those long, hard blasts with his right hand would make him a welcome addition to the group. Plus, as long as Holland makes sure that we're protected during negotiations, we really won't be exposing ourselves to catching any SPCs that we'll regret later on.

Yea, but it's a nice break from the usual grinding that goes on around here. Sometimes this forum makes me feel like a compulsive mass debater.

Geez, every time I think this thread has finally climaxed, you've come back with another one! I guess we haven't even touched the tip of it yet! EDIT: I just realized that you tossed off climax on the last one. Blew it right by me I guess...

That's true. Plus, you can only learn so much from playing with yourself. At some point you just need to jump in and get wet.

I would just hate for him to shoot prematurely all over the place. You know how it is with these young kids and their first time...

All I know is that soft ones never seemed to please him

No, I firmly believe now that the Babcock reign is over Semin will finally come inside the Joe

Wow, you sure said a mouthful!

I just feel like I've been jerked around long enough; it's time for Semin to come.

Would it be enough to make you spit?

Gus can have as much money as he wants as soon as he decides to show up in the playoffs.

2016 TRADE DEADLINE PREDICTION: With Datsyuk, Zetterberg and Helm all out with injuries, Holland panics and trades Larkin and a 2nd to get Weiss back from whichever team he signs with. #thestreakstrikesagain

I don't understand doing this now? Its not like were hurting for cap space and most likely aren't signing anyone. What's the point?

Yea, but the way he picks that first is basically going to be a third

Totonto?

There you go. I guarantee you, no team is going to think a third round pick us too much to wrap this up now rather than waiting for june.There's many a slip between a cup and a lip.
