Aw. Ouch. I'm actually more than happy with my page views count at the end of each month.

That said, I'm also grounded enough to know that Esplen generates a bunch more hits than I do. Lucky guy.

f Schneider is dealt the price will be high. And if the oilers truly are very interested in him Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and one of a 2014 first rd pick, Klefbom or Paajarvi will be the return.

That Pietrangelo for Luongo is the 7th best offer on the table...
- Michael_Stuart

Wow what planet do they live on?

I wouldn't make that deal in a million years. I'm comfortable with Lindback/Bishop until Vasilevski is ready. I'm also partial to holding on to Connolly and Drouin/Barkov/Jones.

EDIT - I do think that Connolly would look nice in a Canucks jersey though.

I know. But I'm responding to all trade proposals with utter seriousness now.

Ian Esplen: Schneider and Miller

You have to be joking.

A good ole' Canadian boy wouldn't have the fear in his eyes. That's what I've taken away from today.

Enstrom in jail after robbing someone at an ATM machine!



Typical soft Euro


A good ole' Canadian boy would have kicked the crap out of the three guys, took their money and donated it to an orphanage
- IanEsplen

You have it backwards - Enstrom was the one that was robbed not doing the robbing.

Worst case scenario = anything where Luongo is still on this team past the compliance buyout period.
- DrChristianTroy

You know if we are talking worst case scenario it is probably going to happen.

Oh boy.

- docmorgan

that's that i was getting at. Rob a Canadian and he'll kick your azz

Hahaha troll blog or do you really over-value Schneider that much?

honestly, most hockey journalists are a joke and are just like you and me.

step 1- make up rumour

step 2- call said GM and ask for comment on rumours citing you heard from sources

step 3- print the more interesting story

I get what you're saying, but was the quote from the past trade deadline.

whether you other other teams for that matter agree is not really up for debate. Vancouver views Schneider in the same way that Giroux is viewed in Philly or Stamkos in Tampa.
- IanEsplen

Haha comon. Based on what exactly?

Settle down Cloutier. That's just not correct

I think people are mixing up how Vancouver views their goalie and how I view their goalie.

Ohhh true, so the RNH ++ came from management? Ok clouts

Yah... sure....it's way off base Every story in the media is fact checked by 10 people. Riiiight.

Tell me this then. How often are they right? How often do they give you a name?


Hmmm, doesn't sound a whole lot different than offer Friday only I'm honest about the stuff I make up.

I'm pretty sure that the more credible ones like McKenzie, LeBrun and Dreger(which he's not being biased towards his cousin's team) have sources they trust for that info and probably do talk with some front offices around the NHL. They're already employed by TSN/ESPN and don't have a site to run for hits like Eklund.

Anonymous sources are often made-up sources. That's my motto whenever I read through HockeyyInsiderr's Twitter feed.

No, TSN (Bob Mac) was on record around the deadline as saying that the Vancouver Canucks viewed Schneider a superstar and if they traded him they would expect a superstar back.

Now that guy is totally different story, I can't believe people actually fell for that poop and thousands are still following him last time I checked.

- Michael_Stuart

yah, we kicked around the idea of doing a story for the Calgary Journal about how often these guys were right about anything and who these sources were.

honestly, spit out 100 vague rumours and you're bound to get a couple right.

HOLD ON. HOLD ON. HOLD ON.
RNH + a first for Schneider?
I thought Cloutier made stupid trade proposal. I think this tops most of his.
I will find McTavish and shoot him if he pulls off such a trade.
