Clarkson yes, but Phaneuf's doesn't look so bad compared to the money that was thrown around today.

Once phaneuf steps on the ice..... It's looks bad


Jk

The frattin trade was pointless.
Robidas is ok, a decent cap hit but he's old will most likely spend most if his time here on the ir, ok maybe not most but a good chunk.
The Leo signing is meh, the overpaid for a 3/4 liner, but it's July 1st and overpaying is expected.
They replaced average players with average players, and slightly improved their d.
But compared to other teams they will be competing with for a playoff spot, they are behind.
But it's a long summer.... Well short summer but you know what I mean

EDIT: You would've overpaid double, and you would've still complained

I personally always liked him especially before he hurt his knee.
- Bigzby

He didn't do much when he came back. I liked him as well, but he wasn't the same guy after the injury.

wait didnt this day start off with an E4 Phaneuf trade? Weird that info was wonrg

Or we just don't want to (frank)ing overpay? Jesus christ.. Lupul - Kadri - Frattin had great chemisty ffs. All you people do is complain. Wait till the results come in then female dog all you want. Give it a chance holy
- MCharisma91

Great chemistry for half a season!
Get with it.

Ffs Columbus didn't want him

Frats Kadri and Loops could very well end up playing together and effectively. Give the line any number you want.
- Bigzby

It's a risk worth taking.

Frattin and Leo will give 10x the effort and be 5x harder to play against than kule and Raymond. That alone is a lopsided win for us in my books.

I keep seeing all these silly comments about how dion's sh*try contract will look better compared to FA contracts, no team is giving him that money for that length

I liked Kuli, but Raymond...yeah, won't miss him - even with the 19 goals.

I think Komarov's contract looks better than some others that were signed today, and will continue to look better with each July 1st that passes.

Robidas worries me a little, but if he stays healthy I believe it's a fair deal.

Frattin may have been a lateral move, but I'm willing to give him a second chance.

- Fakepartofme

Columbus had a winning chemistry and obviously didn't want to mess it up.

We were succeeding with the chemistry with Frattin/Kadri/Lupul

I'm not a fan of his so I'm not going to defend his play.

On a side note, it says a lot about the state of the franchise when Gorges would rather go to Buffalo than TO.

My buddy who tells me hockey poop once in a while says to me today, hey, my buddy's kid got drafted in the first round. I say, no poop, what's his name?

HO SANG. No poop. I started cracking up.

Kulemin did the unsung stuff well. Played the back end well, killed penalties. All that good stuff. Just couldn't score for poop.


Raymond, no way he pitched in almost 20 goals again. I said all along that he was one of those guys to get a chance to show what he could do, do it, get a new deal and vanish the following. He'll have a good year this year in Calgary. No doubt, but after that, he's back to begging for a 1 year deal to prove his worth.

That line could be really good. I still say we sign Vrbata. Legwand would be a nice 3C.

Vrbata yes Legwand too slow and expensif
