Imagine being Downie today? "You've been traded from the 2nd place team to the 29th place team. Good luck in Philly"

Imagine being L. Schenn. You get traded from a yearly basement dwelling team, to what looked like a yearly contender. Only to have your old team rocket up the standings, and your new team drop like a rock.

That's what I'm thinking. I really needed those 30+ goals (Moulson) and 150+ PIM (Downie) though.

Has to be some better options out there...

Doubt 'er... he was getting that money in Colorado... to say his ego and pride won't be kicked in the junk after this trade is asinine...

Man, I liked Schenn a lot too... really hoped he'd develop into a Scott Stevens and be our captain... but it just wasn't in the cards... now, JVR is an untouchable as far as I'm concerned... him and Philthy should retire Leafs... play on the same line forever... until death do them part

...only to see the guy you got traded for become a bonafide, 1st line powerforward tearing it up with Kessel.

Would you say you're happier now that we have Kadri instead of B Schenn?

Whenever you wake up in a poopty mood, just look up JVR's term and cap hit.

I remember vividly everyone saying they would rather have B. Schenn over Kadri. I wonder if they feel the same about that...

downie didnt gel well with colorado.

and talbot and the flyers are struggling - thats what im hearing through the pipeline

was going to ask the same question. Also remember that it wasn't just a 1-1 trade, pretty sure most were saying Kadri + for B. Schenn

cough

Draft day I'll give you it, but the number of times I had to tell UG that Kadri's development was on par with Schenns was too numerous to count, let alone that Kadri looked to have a higher upside.

- vermie22

Yup. I think I remember Philly fans saying Kadri + Gardiner for Schenn since they had to give up Richards

Oh jesus, please don't tell me Downie slept with Varlamov's wife.

*Or did Varlamov kidnap and beat up Downie?
