Wow, these are two horrible trades.

Canadian teams really trying hard to prolong this drought

Kind of sums up the day today.

Punish for a handshake deal? Meh. Every team does it. No need to get on a high horse.

Why not? They moved a player to open a slot for him before July 1st. Handshake deals are one thing, this is the step beyond.

Give them an inch they take a yard. That and I would love to just punish Edmonton. (frank) I hate them.

sorry if l8

Montreal just got one of the worst contracts in hockey
Oilers just traded a elite winger
Toronto lost Stamkos


CANADA

It's a Homer poison pill. Finally a bad Homer contract that is actually helping the Flyers.

Bergevin is a closet Nordiques fan, it's the only explanation.

Chiarelli is just a moron

Chiarelli looked at the Seguin/Hall debate and said "Meh, neither"

I would rather drown a litter of puppies than answer your non stop assault of questions while never answering any asked to you.

If Lavvy gets Nash on that team, that makes a helluva statement to the rest of the Western Conference.

Nash, if he stays healthy, could get back to 40 goals again in Lavvy's system.

It was a reasonable question. Ask me one, and I'll be glad to answer. What question did you ask me, that I failed to answer?

I love the Habs fans in such denial that they think they got an upgrade and won the deal. Fun is in store for them!

Nashville has the best defense in the NHL and it's not close. They have a top 3-5 d man; a top 10-12 d man; 2 #2/3s;...and they just drafted 3 top d men this draft. Christ almighty. They don't even need Jones and now have their 1C. They could probably use Neuvy though for Fabbro.

I think most Habs fans know their team just really (frank)ed up

Schenn for Shattenkirk. Quick Hexy!

I still can't wrap my head around what Montreal and Edmonton were thinking.

Adam Larsson is a good, solid young defenseman with a lot of upside, but Hall is one of the top wingers around. It seems Edmonton was more worried about getting a solid RHD than making a good trade or getting value.

As for the other deal, I think Subban is better than Weber & on a better contract and I know he's younger. Weber's still elite offensively, but in terms of his skating and shot suppression, he's really not an elite defender. Montreal will likely need to do what NJ did for Stevens in the twilight of his career & get him a smart, mobile partner.

Weber should be fine on that elite team with that elite defensive group

Would you rather have Stamkos at 8.5 or Voracek at 8.3?
