Maybe they'll throw in Perry. I didnt lose any credibility by throwing his name in there.

Eh, I was hoping for Moulson, a 1st and a 2nd, but they can't all be winners

Correct its not young hes middle age. Gibson has way more upside then Anderson. If buffalo wants a future goalie they should look to MTL.

I'm finding that out for sure.

The league I play in is a soft tip league, but soft tip boards don't really go well in too many places in a home, which is why I bought a steel tip board.

A steel tip board is smaller and helps improve your aim.

Because the media said so. He prob called once and hung up the phone when the price started with matha

Exactly. Thats why people laugh at sabres fans when they do their whole, "it has to be an overpayment" routine. If its not "FINE" we will keep him. Your idea of an overpayment and Murray's version are two completely different things. Ill bet money on it. If anyone pays you what you think youre going to get for him itll shock not just me but the rest of the hockey world. Why would the ducks trade you a better defenseman in Fowler (who has done more now and on the past) for myers and youre all saying theres more players coming back from the ducks

How has he done more exactly? I'd love to see the facts to back this up.

Oh and that Mantha guy can't seem to put it together in the AHL. Do you know where Myers was at his age?

It's Andersen, and yes, 25 for a goalie is young.

Most don't start to take the reigns until they're around that age, and many play into their mid 30's. They've got many good years with Andersen.

Correct and gibson has way more upside. Anderson has been good but has proven nothing yet to keep him as your guy for the next 5-10 years and give up the future star in gibson. No GM would do this.

I'm not a Moulson fan, but the return you got for Vanek on a year you finished bottom 5 was hilarious

I understand that 25 is the start of your prime so middle age not young. Again i think Gibson will be in the category of a ryan miller but with more success you don't trade that player.

Makes sense.

I've also realized that I've become that bumhole that keeps his darts in the car so that if there's a game to be played, I can just go to my car and get my set instead of using bar darts.

If you're wondering why Myers is still considered to have potential for more after 6 years in the NHL please refer to the following:

1) Zdeno Chara.
2) Myers play on a team that is not the worst in the league

So is Gardiner junk? He's proven to be a liability almost every shift. He'll be 25 in June.

Well in reality we gave up a late first and a second bcs the fact that you have Moulson for 5 years at that salary is a gift that keeps on giving.. I live in the here and now and one point out of the division lead while looking at your team breaking losing records I can forget about the vanek trade. Keep hoping we miss the playoffs you have nothing else to cheer for

Sorry but trading Myers, Enroth and Stewart and bringing back D men for them makes no sense what so ever, we need scoring not another group of D men.
