Dave 324 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 Boo to all these teams for "trading away the future" in order to improve now. What a bunch of suckers these guys are. They all need to take a lesson from Holland and do the only reasonable thing, stand pat with an aging team that hasn't been competitive since 2009. Stand pat, it's the wave of the future. Everyone knows that games are played in the future, not the present! 1 Yak19 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canadian wings fan 305 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 I'm assuming this means that Holland and Flip are close to a deal? Yep! 6 Years @5.5 mil per for a 15 goal player 1 Red Crazy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
achildr1 255 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 Comeau cost the Flames nothing at all they got him off waivers, and Columbus is just filling the roster spots vacated in the Gaborik trade. This is easily the best deal Feaster made this year. I actually think the Gabby trade could hurt Columbus more than help it, they were coming along nicely and they lost a lot of depth for a guy with 1 more goal than Dan Cleary. No way. Comeau is a better, young asset to keep on the team (that Feaster just traded the soul of) than getting a 5th that will almost surely never pan out. Gaborik means the world as a means of exciting the fan base. When the going gets tough, star players are leaned on. Say what you will but if the Blue Jackets make the playoffs...they'll probably be happy they have Gaborik instead of Brassard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah Dorsett was the heart of their team. It wouldn't be quite like us losing Helm, but close. And Brassard/Moore is like us losing Filpulla signed to a 3 million deal for a another year, and Brendan Smith. Not saying I wouldn't do it, but we all saw what happened to New York when they lost the heart and soul aspect and loaded up no high end talent. You need good depth players. And Minnesota gave up the equivalent of Mrazek, Jarnkrok for Pominville. It's a risky trade. I don't know how I feel. Slighty disappointed, but the more I think about it it's not as bad as it seems to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 Raffi dirtbag Torres to San Jose for a 3rd round pick. I wonder if there's any conditions on it, like him getting suspended for headhunting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
