With reason. Nobody in their right mind takes Kindl in a trade.
Smith has slight value, I'd be shocked if we got Phanuef for Smith/Weiss. Absolutely shocked. Leafs replace theyre top Dman for Smith (arguably our worst) and lose 2M in total salary when the deal is done.... Not exactly a great play on Nonis' part. Also Weiss doesn't help them out now or in the rebuild.
Jurco/Pulk is definatley going the other way.
Think about it, say we were trading FOR Weiss/Kindl. What would you possibly want to give up for that? I'd want to receive high picks and not give them anyone else in return.

Howard for Hall Eberle Yakupov and 3 1sts?

screw you HOWARD see ya in EDMONTON NEXT SEASON you worthless POS

Absolutely clean hit on Glendenning, dont be homers
One of the nicest hits ive seen this season TBH
Skate with your head down at that height your going to get hit there first, every time. If that was dirty Kronwall shouldve been suspended for each hit hes done

Kindl's pass was awesome there wow good on him

Why do you feel the need to argue everything anyone says? It's almost as if you analyze everything that's written here and try to pick out that one word that you can argue... So what if Datsyuk only assisted on 6 of Tatar's goals? Maybe "fed" wasn't the proper word to use, but can you argue that having Datsyuk on his line doesn't open up some space for Tatar, allowing him to score more? Or are you arguing that Nyquist shouldn't be on a line with Zetterberg for that same reason, despite being 3rd on the team in goals? Or are you seriously just arguing that one misuse of the word "fed"?...
I'm sure you agree that Tatar should remain on Datsyuk's wing, so why bother researching such stats just to refute what he was saying? The premise of his argument still stands. Datsyuk and Tatar should be locked on a line together, and I believe Zetterberg and Nyquist should be locked on a line together for the same reason; they work really well together. On the other wing you can throw any one of Cole, Abdelkader, Helm, or Jurco and I'd be fine with that.

Fur real. 8 mil for 6 years and a full NTC is probably better

Our team is young and feeling the effects of a full NHL season for the first time.
I think the team is just drained right now, which is probably good considering playoffs are coming in about a month

Yeah, I hope so haha
Im actually on board with a Kronwall - Smith pairing. Have wanted it for awhile. Ericsson should be nowhere near the top 4.
Im not exactly a Smith fan but he needs offensive situations in order to be at his best

Well I'm glad Holland is GM

There is no defending James Neal.
One of the biggest dirtbags in the NHL

What am I not understanding here? I don't get how this compares to a triple play in baseball at all...

100% we won this trade.
We can make a cup run this year with the addition of a decent defender, we have PLENTY of bottom 4 defencemen in the pool, we can afford to lose one. Especially one who couldnt crack it in the minors
Janmark has 2 games in america, we'll survive.

So do some of you guys even want to win or what? Kenny gave up 2 prospects who likely were never going to see time in the winged wheel. Cole is 36, have you seen him play? He's not Bertuzzi. He can still skate as well as he ever did, and plays a physical power game.

Two decades of success vs online forum poster...
Yea, I know who I'm going with.

This isnt the extremely veteran teams of old. With the infusion of young talent you have to roll with mental lapses from time to time.

Jonas Gustavsson couldn't push James Reimer out of the #1 spot in Toronto give copious chances. I'm not sure he's going to outplay Jimmy over the long haul.

Pretty sure I nailed it haha

I agree that Athanasiou should be the next call. Hopefully it doesn't get to that point though, we need everyone in the lineup

Is it? Other than size, what are people seeing in game from him?
