rick zombo

^ I don't think he's being misused. Sure he's spent most of the year in GR, but it hasn't hurt his development or the organization.

Think about it. Has Nyquist look like a poorly developed prospect? Also, he's dominated the AHL and is a big reason why GR have done so well this year, and now he's here helping the big club. Double win IMO.

Seems like they've actually done well with bringing Goose along.

This is me being positive and optimistic. But whatevs.

Dude retired 2 years ago. How far back are we allowed to miss guys?

 

‘Cause I miss Fedorov, and Franzen 

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you - rick zombo - the Jay Feaster of lunchtime trades.

 

You know what they say, feaster famine.

BREAKING NEWS: I just traded a slice of pizza to a co-worker for a can of coke.

Holland doesn’t fail, for not making a trade.

 

However, how many times have we heard this?

 

1. Prices were high, Imma wait until the draft. That’s when all the trades happen.

2. Prices at the draft were to high to make a trade. Imma wait till July 1st and look at UFAs

3. Prices for UFAs were too high. We’ll save our cap and see what’s out there trade-wise this summer

4. Prices were too high in the summer, we’ll evaluate our team during the regular season and make a deal to get better, if need be.

5. Prices are too high right now, I’ll see where our team’s at by the trade deadline.

6. Prices too high at trade deadline, Imma wait until the draft. 

 

Rinse. Repeat. 

I just read in hf boards that someone would expect to get Sproul and Sheahan in this deal. They might not be incorrect. The more I think about it the more I don't want JBouw. He would be a decent upgrade, but maybe Dekeyser will be just as large. It's a tough call either way. Good luck Mr. Holland!

 

f*** that.

It's not that people are over-rating him or calling him the next coming of Jesus. It's the fact that you can secure a potential top 3-5 defensive player for the price of FREE. You don't get top 4 defensemen growing on trees, none the less for the price of an ELC. That my friends, is why he is getting so much attention right now. No one thinks he is going to step in and give this team the push over the edge, but he certainly can help boost this blue line within the next 1-2 years. 

 

Exactly. And you can chalk all the hype up to media boredom. I mean, hell, the trade deadline coverage on tsn alone is like a Wrestlemania broadcast,

This thread is all sorts of wrong. Mods must be in Cancun or something.

Jokinen could turn out to be another Franzen. If we could get him going, it might be better than sacrificing assets at the deadline.

 

Yes, but he could also turn out to be another Franzen.

No and No!!!!!!

We should close this thread/stop posting here until he signs somewhere. #scared_of_the_jinx

Schocked that this trade happened TODAY seeing as there were "TWOMORROWS" involved

Well of course I love to say I told you, that was sacasm. But it isn't like I come here after EVERY Wings loss. I mean, if that was the case and all I wanted to do was troll you guys, I would come here after the consecutive losses to Columbus or something like that. Or the last time Minnesota beat Detroit in St. Paul. Actually, I only come here now because someone mentioned these boards in a discussion on HF. Admittedly, I stir the pot a bit but the fact that everything I said this summer has come true or looks to be coming true.. It's hard not to be like, well I kinda predicted this. In my defense though, I did make one note about the game. You all seem to think that Minnesota plays the neutral zone trap (ala Dave Tippit in PHO) but I was able to set you straight (as someone who watches every Wild game) and inform you that it is actually a 1-2-2 system that Yeo runs. It just looked like a trap to you because most of your 38 shots came from outside the dots and Backstrom smothered anything that wasn't. I do have a question though.. It seems to me that Nyquist was one of your better forwards last night and he is apparently your organizations best prospect. He's been in the minors for some time now, why is he not a main stay in your lineup? Is Justin Abdelkator really better than him or did he run over Babcock's dog or something? 

 

Are you saying the score of the game effected Datsyuk's play? Im confused. 

 

Question: If you were asked to do 13 pushups but could only do one, would you brag about it? How much would you feel like analysing this? Or talking about it in general?

 

The Wild have been in Minnesota since 2000. They've never had a better regular season than Detroit - this seaon isn't over yet. And they've only had one playoff that was better. That was the year after Detroit won the cup, and 5 years before Detroit's next cup.

 

Also, where the f*** were you last week when the Wild were in 10th or whatever?

 

Your acting like an *******, and it's transparent. That's all I have to say.

On Datsyuk's goal?

I only saw the highlights so maybe I missed something? But if you guys are talking about the pass at center ice that was something anyone on the team could've done.

Great move and shot by Dats though.

 

Considering this team passes like a Kia on the Autobahn this year, I’d say our standards here are pretty low. Hence “great pass by Franzen”. 

Yo Blue!! This thread's almost as good as the last one. Remember? I actually thought the mods would have banned you for that.

 

May as well trade Zetterberg too. There, I participated in this joke.
