Unnecessary trade. Flip those for D help. I'de have just as soon waited to see what those guys are. And just because LA wanted a first, clearly, no one would have paid that. Again, to me, the Schnieder trade means Bernier should have went for less, for sure no added 2nd rounder. It's not the end of the world, but...

I look at it the opposite way. The return for Bernier suggests there should have been more return for Schneider.

True, but if we could sign Lecavalier, Iginla, and trade for Yandle, I'd be one happy guy.
- ThePresident

Who do you give up for Yandle?

On t.v it said that the oilers table was in disbelief when the trade was announced because they offered their 1st, a 2nd and a high prospect

Assuming the Oiler offer was true, WTF is wrong with Gillis? Does he really desire to be burned in efigy by the Nuck fans?

- ThePresident

ummm, I hope you are realistic about those possibilities.

It could just as easily go the other way around, it's all speculation.
- aminnes

Comeon man, Frattin really isn't that good. He's just as good as Joey Crabb. Scrivens is Joey Macdonald.

Would most likely have to include Gardiner and a 1st, although I wouldn't want to lose Gardiner.

Yes it was, have you ever played Civilizations

Jokes aside, I think he has something coming up that we don't about and he'll shock us all. I hope it's a 1C and 1st pair Dman!
- TML4Life85

Yes i have

Its too early. Dont forget Hextall would be advising that deal for Scrivens as well, the management in LA is proven and effective.

Then no!

If you want to play that game, maybe its the pick we are underrating

Are the Canuckle fans saying that trading Schneider is what they wanted all this time?

FUK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

A year from now, all Leaf fans will be saying we robbed Los Angeles. I for one already think we did.
- ThePresident

Same here....

Or Gillis is overrating.

FUK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
- GCHonda

Well then what do you give up for Yandle?

- TML4Life85

Probably ask beatle john, hes the first person I'd think of for something like that

Or Gillis is overrating.
- TML60

or maybe its gillis's sanity thats overrated

Its too early. Dont forget Hextall would be advising that deal for Scrivens as well, the management in LA is proven and effective.
- aminnes

I think Hextal took too many punches to the head that memorable day when Felix Potvin laid a bloody smackdown on that moron.

I just watched Gauthier's interview, Hodor is right.

Schneider doesn't wanna be a backup untill Martin decides to retire. I'm sure Corey isn't happy being a Devil. Just like Scrivens. he made it known that he wants to be a #1. However the guy ends up being traded to LA where he has no hope in hell of being a #1. I'm sure both Corey & Ben would have loved to go to Edmonton.
- GCHonda

You think Scrivens would be the #1 in Edmonton do you?

I just watched Gauthier's interview, Hodor is right.
- BetterCallSaul

Poor mans Hodor.


At least Hodor can say his name.

Would make one hell of a top 6/top 4.

JVR/Lecavalier/Kessel
Lupul/Kadri/Iginla

Phaneuf/Yandle
Franson/Gardiner

Just have to come up with what we'd give up for Yandle. Perhaps a prospect or 2 along with some picks.

Bettman may be a wiener, but he owns it. He can be pretty humorous at the podium.
- BetterCallSaul

We all villainize Bettman, but hockey is bigger and better than ever under his watch. He plays the Vince McMahon heel role but for my money the NHL and the game is great...in the end Bettman is vindicated

Leafs head scout Dave Morrison on Gauthier: "We just think there's some upside, how much offensively remains to be seen. But we're hopeful."
