I'll give Gillis a pass on Grabner. I believe he was Nonis' first draft pick as a GM. I believe that Nonis even passed on him as the AGM with toronto when Grabner when through waivers. I thought we had seen the last of him when FLA waived.

NYI lucked out.

The Insiderr strikes again!

This is funny. I think it's the 2nd or 3rd time Raymond has been injured in the days leading up to the TDL when he's one of the more talked about players being moved...

Out with shoulder injury.

There goes ray for clowe
Its now jensen for clowe

The thought of Clowe on a Kesler centered line makes me want to vomit... However, a 3rd line of Clowe OTT Kassian would give me a murder boner. Kassian would learn a TON about competing & assertive hockey being on the ice with those guys. If Buffalo's having a fire sale, get OTT!

Yep, throw a nice center in the middle and you got something. Bozak? Mathias? Jensen with the twins(hopefully it works and Burrows and Higgins with Kesler

Grabner was nonis' last pick. Also picked Bourdon and White.

A few reminders....

Grabner had a 4 goal game in a call up and was demoted shortly after by his DBAG coach...

He follows up with a 36 goal rookie season after being dumped.

Nonis didnt pass on Grabner. Burke passed on Grabner.

Clowe is not playing tonight

Bob McKenzie‏@TSNBobMcKenzie19m
All indications are pointing towards Ryane Clowe not being in the San Jose lineup tonight.

Maybe he is in vancouvers line up

Mike always seems to find cap space when needed.

Robyn Regher traded to La Kings for a pair of 2nd round draft picks.

Make it Clarkson Zajac and you got a deal
- vancity787

5.75 mill for Zajac?

Lu, Schroader, Ballard and 3rd
For
Bjugstad, Mathias, Clemmenson and Kuba

So I take it Lefty and I bipass the 1st round of the playoffs? Right on, lets go fishing.

I'm so screwed. I've been limping along with 4 or 5 injuries for a month now or longer. still, the only weeks I've lost is when I've not edited between 1 or 3 days of the week. I had both Anderson and MAF out for a long time now. I've been forced to have 4 goalies on my roster through this to make my min for each of the last 3 or 4 weeks even.... Letang out forever....Sharpe out for most of season....all these guys were looking at worldclass seasons....

I feel like the Canucks. Great reg season team but licking the local glory hole in the post season....

Too bad he rarely uses it wisely and too bad the cap use lingers like a A&W fart for years to come.

true but you think nonis could convince burke to take a flyer on his former 1st round choice. 36 goal rookie season speaks volumes. Obviously there was something that turned some GMs off. Gillis wasn't the only one.

But I do agree that AV seems to be pulling the strings at times.

Would LOVE Rat Boy Ribeiro here. The guy can play, put personal feelings aside, he's a perfect 2C for this team.
- TLinden16

Yep, mentioned this yesterday
1) Ribeiro has uber talent
2) Pure playmaker
3) paycheck player. Would never want him big money long term but guys like him actually try in a contract yr

Lets not forget Talon passed on him.

Good trade for Buffalo

Bouwmeester to St Louis for a 1st and two prospects

Boumeester to Stl for a 1st and prospects

Edit: late

Defensive prospect was last yrs 1st round. So basically 2 1sts and a prospect for Boumeester. Blues are boycotting draft this june

Dominoes.

so buffalo and calgary are the big sellers this year. makes sense.

buffalo fan where so confident when the season started.

Burke would still be GM if Nonis could talk sense into him. I'm not so sure Nonis didnt want Grabner.

I mostly think that Grabner wasnt scouted much both as a draft eligible prospect and a pro prospect. To me it points to most GM's taking their lead from AV and Gillis. Obviously our scouts were big enough on Grabner to convince management to pick him for what it's worth. The Panthers quickly dumping him without taking a serious look was a huge mistake and it further added to the irresponsible ignorance by the rest of the GM's to a prospect who had not been given a shot yet.

It's crazy I know... How many teams give up on a scorer who has had a couple of 30 goal pro seasons, a 4 goal game in a call up and hadnt had his shot at a rookie season yet? Typically, a rookie season and a sophmore season are the very least chance a player like this gets but even with all his prodeuction, he couldnt make it by AV. It was a bad move by Gillis but even worse by Tallon and every other GM who could use a free high scoring prospect for nothing.

Burke would still be GM if his bosses weren't up for a moral stand against him getting Hazal Mae pregnant

St. Louis just guaranteed that they'll miss the playoffs.
