haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 Sounds like the Canucks and Leafs did some more heavy flirting regarding Luongo but still couldn't seal the deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yak19 303 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Ok so if we are keeping all of our prospects and not making a push for this year why are we not playing said prospects? Oh yeah we would rather fill those spots with Samuelsson, White, Abdelkader, Cleary, and Eaves. Edited April 3, 2013 by Yak19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dabura 12,206 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 I'm totally optimistic about a team that's barely .500 and has been murdered in the playoffs for three straight years without making one meaningful improvement. What should we be optimistic about? That in 3 or 4 years we MIGHT have Jarnkrok, Jurco, Frk, Nysquist, on the team and they MIGHT actually have decent careers. Yep, there's always a silver lining...oh wait, during that same time we MIGHT lose Datsyuk and Flip, and Zetterberg, Kronwall, and Franzen PROBABLY will be in the decline. Why do something when you can do nothing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wingsfan72 198 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 1. Howson is not their GM anymore. 2. Amidst, all the s*** talking about Howson, people conveniently forget how much better that team got over the last two years. They only acquired Wisniewski, Johnson, Aucoin, Dubinsky, Anisimov, Letestu, Foligno, Tyutin, Umberger, Prospal, Bobrovsky and two 1st round picks under Howson. We got Samuelsson, Tootoo, Quincey, White, Commodore, and Gustavsson during the same time frame. Hmmm... Not saying I want Howson to replace Holland, but that team got noticeably better under his tenure. So while it's fun to make jokes, he didn't do a bad job. Lol I know he is not their GM anymore, that was the intended (and obviously missed) joke. His being fired makes him available to take Holland's spot was what I was going for... Anyhow, I wasn't serious. I am a Holland believer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, there's always a silver lining...oh wait, during that same time we MIGHT lose Datsyuk and Flip, and Zetterberg, Kronwall, and Franzen PROBABLY will be in the decline. We could've said the same thing in previous years. Hind-sight is great when looking back but the thing about it is that we don't know exactly how these prospects are going to pan out. They could magically become the players we want, they could become much better than the players we project, and then again, they could become absolutely everything we don't want. I came into this season with armor knowing that we would get thrown around, I know we weren't going to be the dominate force we once were, but all-in-all they've impressed me. There's been times this season that I see an outstanding product on the ice, while other nights i'm wondering if I change the channel over to the Griffins game. No one knew Pavel was going to become the dominate force he is, no one knew Zetterberg was going to become the dominate force he is. If they did, they would've been drafted a lot earlier (I know the whole Pasha thing but still!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 Same ol' song and dance. Ansar Khan @AnsarKhanMLive 23s Wings were in on 2 or 3 players, felt they made competitive offers, but it wasn't good enough. As I've said, I didn't really want Holland to make a deal for a playoff rental, but it is kind of comical that he says the same things year after year. 1 Red Crazy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mors 201 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 Have to say I'm kinda disappointed to see Pominville go to Minnesota...and Gaborik to the Blue Jackets?
