I don't get why any team would want Lupul. Soft, injury prone, big contract, and more interested in his off-ice life than what he does on the ice.

Why would the Penguins trade for him.

I'm still interested in why he's considered "soft."

I'd imagine pouliot. Leafs would be foolish to move him for that package u mentioned

He ain't afraid to drop the mints and mocks while doing it. One of my favorites too.

He's the type of guy you hate and feel the need to punch repeatedly on the other team, and love and feel the need to punch repeatedly on your team.

Because he gets hurt people are calling him soft. They haven't watched him play. I've never got that impression

His bones be soft!

Really?
- znagle

That is the asking price, right?

2nd and a prospect or B+ prospect/C prospect? Just saying I could see GMJR cough it up come crunch time.

He's still growing

"Soft" and "injury prone" are totally separate issues. When he's healthy, he's surprisingly strong and doesn't shy away from the muck work and isn't afraid to get hit.

Man I'd hate to see us flip a 2nd and a prospect for freaking Winnick

The most punchable face ever.

Woooooooo

The best Barnaby fight I've seen lol

That is severe overpayment for a third line pending UFA that isn't a difference maker. Those are the types of deals that have led to our shortcomings within the organization. Stupid moves like this don't allow us to develop any good options in the case of injury.

Agree. But the fact remains he is a huge risk at a poopty contract. When he's healthy? That isn't too often. Much like Hemsky was.

Asking was reported as a second, which is an over payment alone. GMJR said the D prospects are pretty much untouchable.

Well, Hemsky is soft, at least compared to Lupul. But I agree with you.

Did we just agree on something?

Unless you have Klinkhammer and a 5th.

I agree with both but as these depth guys get picked off by contenders what's a GM to do? He is totally handcuffed... no assets... no cap space.

All while believing this team still needs some "pieces"

Bergenheim just went for a 3rd (with a 7th going back). No way is Winnik more valuable than Bergenheim.

Samuelson is booty.

I agree but back to my original post, does getting outmatched and outplayed (again) by WSH tonight change that? STL and FLA were good wins but I think he still has his finger close to the red button

Arizona is now in my top-10 hated teams since the have both Ulfie and Domi's kids.

Wow totally made my day man, also I finally pulled the trigger and put in an application to be a blogger, who knows if they will even look at it; I said I would write for any team. Should be interesting.

I don't think so. Winnik can be had in the off season for cheap. He's not worth a second rounder.
