I dont get what that has to do with you saying he wants to be clear cut winner.
- burn

he wont make a deal unless its an obvious win.

name one that could be considered questionable.. dealing with a big name

Somebody shoot me.

actually taxes are worse there

no state tax, but the federal tax is massive. wedgie corrected me on this the other day
- Dozzer

Still the best State to play tax wise...right at the top. Toronto and Montreal are at the bottom.

the only reason he still isnt GM is because ownership didnt like his personality

pretty simple and obvious really

See this is what I said huh to earlier.


I'd say that trading gunner + retaining salary + adding a pick is far from a clear cut win, I see it as a big loss.

Bingo! Give this man a prize.

It was my one big issue with Nonuts.

- RogerRoeper

do you consider that trade a win or loss?

sure is nice having a top ten goal scorer every year

and every linemate he plays with does better.

took a risk.. and its paying off

do i need to explain further?

brought in a more reliable d-man who was a right handed shot

addressed a need with a middle of the road player

pretty safe trade really.
