If I make the trade do I win 2 cups?

columbus didnt win any cups

Both teams got what they wanted.

Kings got cups, Flyers got some nice players.
- J35Bacher

Yeah I agree. I like the Kings too, so it really did work out.

Imagine what Hexy thinks.. He was with LA when the swung the deal and got a ring, then he gets to go back to philly (Where he belongs) and now has the benefit of seeing those assets help his current squad. Worked out great.

Jack Johnson's +21 has brought his career +/- up to a respectable -105.

Today, would you trade Voracek for Jeff Carter?

I still find it funny that CBJ bailed on Carter so quickly. Thought he\'d be happy with Ohio State U so close... Maybe they'll win the cup this year and it'll be worth it.

Yes, it is. But what does 2 Cups have to do with asking if you would do a trade? Why not 7? Why not 4? If I said would you trade a 7th for McDavid, would you ask the same question? No, you'd do it because it (likely) makes the team better.
- jmatchett383

I understand that.

LA made the trade because they thought it made them better. Would they probably prefer to have Simmonds now? Yes. But the trade helped in getting them 2 cups.

Would I trade Voracek or Couturier for Carter now? No because at this time the Flyers aren't at a position where I think Carter helps more then Voracek or Couturier.

Would I trade for McDavid. of Course. because I am getting a player that is younbg and can help now and the future.

There are lots of factors needed. but the ultimate goal is to position yourself in a place to possibly win a cup.

Boy did Carter sulk his way into a nice situation.

We didn't trade Carter to LA for Voracek and Couturier. So why is that relevant? Columbus didn't win 2 Cups.

2nd year in a row a forward makes the All Star game despite not having played very well. First John Scott, now Jon Toews.

Seems like Toews is destined to be the belle of the ball, score 2 goals, and win MVP after the NHL arranges his trade and tells him that it would be a shame to his family if he plays.

4 (frank)ing Blackhawks on that divisions team?

Shouldn't be more than 2 from a team.

He just got claimed on waivers

Nice pick up by the Leafs

Should probably just demote him to the AHL to avoid the shame.

I would trade Coots before Jake but even then I dont because I dont think Carter gets them any closer to winning up a cup then they are with either of those 2.

4 Blackhawks....and none of them are the 2nd leading scorer on the team and 6th leading scorer in the whole league.

In his defense, Corey Crawford isn't paid to score goals.

No.

If I thought the team was close to contending yes, but they aren't, so no also.

Manning will be one of three that is protected, Ghost, Gudas, and Manning. MDZ is a UFA so you wink wink nudge nudge and sign him post expansion draft if you want him back.

I also set an agreement (unsigned until after the expansion draft) with Mase or Neuvy and figure out who to expose at goalie to keep Stolie protected.
- dragonoffrost

Using a protection slot on a mediocre #6 journeyman type who you often scratch would be a complete waste of an asset. I hope Hextall is savvier than that. And he is.
