I agree. I was just simply stating the point they were trying to make. Nothing is ever really a guarantee. Other than death and taxes that is.

I guarantee I am awesome.

I'm really not looking forward to another year of cheering to lose.

I'm not either. I wasn't the one that said it. I was just making what was being said clear. I do have a feeling that Rochester is going to be the more entertaining team to watch this year though.

See, I also would think you would get a 1st for Moulson but my scout friend says no way. I know what he thinks isn't the end all be all, but it is what he does for a living so I have to put some stock in what his opinion is.

I'm just nervous about the risk involved
What if Moulson does have a big drop off playing away from Tavares?
Then what's he worth?
Or what if he gets hurt?
Makes more more sense to me to have them give us prospects & picks...
Plus, it benefits them not giving up roster players so thy can really try & make a run at the cup

well to gaurantee it is goign a touch far.. but it greatly increases the odds.. If Myers pulls his head out of his anus and Enroth stands on his head we could be back in the 8 to 12 pick range

That's a lot of heads in odd places

your gaurantees mean nothing

I'm not sure but Moulson without Tavares will be Leino 2.0. Vanek is much, much better at making plays by himself.

it's impossible to do that until the season is unequivocally lost.
even then, I noticed it wasn't until after the game was over and the oilers lost that I remembered the value in it.

u always want your team to win.

I dont think that enough. Ive said before I have a friend who is a pro scout for the Kings and he scouts both Buffalo and NYI and in his opinion thats a bad trade for Buffalo.

I just dont think you can gloss over the playing with Tavares thing, that's huge. Plus, the Moulson is also a UFA after this season, it just doesnt make much sense to me.

How does getting a 1st round pick not make sense? There is no guarantee the Islanders will even be good. They improved last year but they still have questionable goaltending. So you basically make a slight downgrade at the wing, get an extra 1st and if we stink, maybe we can even get another 1st for Moulson at the deadline.

I once saw Matt F'N Ellis scissor kick Angela Lansbury.

So why would the isles give up a 1st for a slight up grade at wing then?

Vukota, this coming from one of the nice mods - you're going to have to change your location. One of my colleagues sees that and you'll miss some time on the site till it's changed.

I fear injury...you have too.

Why would a team give up more for him to play 12 games for them than they would now where they could get 82 games outta him?
- Homer

Because the majority of GM's throw common sense out the window come deadline day, especially if they think they're a piece away from the cup. It's how they've always been. I have no explanation for it, but it's been the case every year for a long time.

See, I also would think you would get a 1st for Moulson but my scout friend says no way. I know what he thinks isn't the end all be all, but it is what he does for a living so I have to put some stock in what his opinion is.
- Homer

It depends I guess. I would say at least a 2nd and maybe prospect or future pick. You'd have to think he'd get more than Leopold
