When people were saying Ryder, Halak and a 2nd they really saw a lot of value in that offer.

Yeah, looking back at it today, it would have been quite the return!

Well, 5 years later... Still a decent package. Would not trade that for Lecavalier

It was a steal.
- God_then_kovy

No. It was a good move with an eye on the team's long term goals.

too late for lunch?
- habby

yeah just got back.

what'dya have

Trading Cole and his salary for dust would've been a win imo. Trading Cole for our team's current leading scorer who will be our only forward threat on the pp with an expiring contract is a steal.

When did we trade Pacioretty?

And we're back to the ridiculous.

You don't think Ryder and his right handed shot was what our PP was missing?

Can you blame them? A 30 goals scorer year in year out, a top of the league goalie (tks EE) we now have the proof and a 2nd. Not too shabby...

Guess it depends who that 2nd rounder ended up being?

Halak is a very good goalie, but not a workhouse goalie.

not that good of a package. one-dimensional 30 goal scorer, a 1a goaltender with injury issues and a prospect for a crap-crippling contract....

it's not that it was that bad I've had it before but it just wasn't working out today.

Does anyone think that Gionta could get an impending UFA like Clowe?

Dallas's PP has been slightly worse than Mtl's this year and Ryder has 2 PP points.

Last year Dallas had the worst PP in the league. Ryder led them with 7 PP points.

The dog wasn't cooked well enough?

terrible dude

please clarify if you mean Halak is terrible of if you just forgot a comma.

Bon point Jacques

Aside from the occasional big hit Cole has been brutal this year, and will continue to stink with that contract.

I took the vegetarian option. I think the problem was that when I do that I usually ask for no tofu but I forgot to ask today and tofu sickens me.

- Komisaurus Rex

No. The only way I see Gionta traded is if NJ wants him back, for a pick and or a prospect.
