Why bother? Minds are made up. Snow was bashed for years for hoarding picks now it's a travesty that he traded a couple of picks. They can add two studs before the season and people will still kill the deal even though that deal was the reason they were able to land those forwards
- Vukota

See this is the flip side on this thread. Everyone is excited about potentially seeing a big trade so throw all criticism out the window. Be damned if you question what Snow does. Same routine every season on this thread. He can land 4 stud forwards and 3 first pairing defenseman and it still doesn't change the trade. Making an observation that is all. I know it's only ok when you have something critical to say.

It seems that most isles fans are themselves are a paradox

Not allowed to say he overpaid in a trade. I'm a paradox. Hysterical

No the paradox is all year people female dog for snow to do something and then when he does they all female dog anyways. This fan base isn't happy unless they are unhappy, paradox, you are never happy so therefore you are not a paradox are you

So let me get this straight. If he makes a questionable trade we shouldn't question it for complaining he never makes any. I gotcha


So today if he trades barzal, Hamonic, DeHaan, and Nelson for Duchene mum is the word

I'm saying Detroit gave up the 15th in a much better draft. Today is what it is, I'm not hugging Garth but their is no reason to crush this
- Dan Petriw

Detroit traded the 16th and Datsyuk's contract for the 20th and 53rd and a prospect.



Listen contrary to popular belief I'm not freaking out. Just calling it as I see it BUT the trade you're using as an example makes Snow's look worse. Much worse

I gotcha so of he makes a questionable trade we shouldn't question it for complaining he never makes any.
- Cptmjl

Look if he gets raped of course we will be upset but all we hear most years is how he doesn't do anything and we all want moves. Now he has set himself up to make them and people are enraged. If berube was going to walk anyhow and Vegas took him that's huge cause they had to take a rostered player and bischoff? Wow I dnt believe that, wait who is he again and where on the depth chart? Picks wow I'm sure he can get the 2nd back 2 years from now so really a 1st is how I see it. Berube was terrible and they still have a great 1 2 punch I net

Detroit traded the 16th and Datsyuk's contract for the 20th and 53rd and a prospect. That trade actually makes ours look much worse

There is nothing wrong with what Garth did last night, if he actualy uses the money.

Ho-Sang
Barzal
Pulock
Toews
Wotherspoon
Sorokin (if he comes over)
Soderstrom
Bellows
Dal colle (maybe)

All have the talent to play in the NHL. Missing a first rounder this year isn't a backbreaker

I'm not saying it's a back breaker and never did. I said he overpaid and he did. I just stated you used a trade as an example incorrectly that is all. Detroit did not trade the 15th and datsyuk to the coyotes and that's it. They traded the 16th and got the 20th, 53rd, and a prospect back.

So the redwings shed 7.5 million in salary to move four spots back in the draft and gained a 2nd and a prospect in the process

Listen man. I'm not freaking out I'm giving my opinion. Why don't you tug it back a notch and stop rushing to the front line in defense here. The gross overreaction to some shat on this thread is great.

Edit; again, I'm not freaking out. He over paid imo. Is it ok to say that? Sorry if I hurt anybody's feelings I'll keep my unbridled faith alive. He deserves it.

I didn't over react you did so you tone it down. He didn't lose poop that 15th for all our guys come on captain. I'm not rushing to anyone's defense I'm giving my opinion just like you

At what point did I overreact? Me saying he overpaid in a trade is overreacting? Geez I get it everyone is excited but come on.

pretty sure my post was an opinion as well. I'll make it easier from now on and I'll just respond with good post every time

Just like everyone freaked in 2015 when he sent the pick to BUF for the Vanek trade. He got two back for Reinhart. JT, Bailey, Strome, Nelson, Leddy De Haan, Hickey, Pulock, MDC, JHS, Barzal, Beau, Bellow...the org is loaded with first rd picks from superstars to NHL starters. Instead of drafting a late rd 18 yr old who won't play for 3 or more yrs, he held his core of players in the 22 to 28 yr old range.

There are several serious suitors for Eberle, including the NYI. EDM appears to have offer(s) close to acceptable, still mulling options.

It's 8:32 where are the trades?

Would have to think NYI, invested as they are after expansion draft, also highly motivated to deal. Will be lots of Eberle/Duchene rumors.

FWIW, this coming from someone with no sleep who's ready for a snooze, I think there'll be more trades Friday than today.

Good post

Let's Go.... what's The Hold Up????

Don't really care a lot for Eberle... but do like Duchene a lot.

Hoping for the best today!!!

Man I really can see none of them headed to Islanders.. the more I read of the hype the less likely it feels

McPhee has made more trades in the last 2 weeks than Garth has made in the last 3 years.

Sorry

Keep pushing it back a day the (frank)ing bastards

Ok I'll chime in, you can't make a decision on what happened yesterday til after tomorrow. Lets try to be something we never are....patient. Just a crazy thought to throw in, what is the reaction if it's James Neal? I would rather have Duschene, and frankly I wouldn't mind if we went after Galchunyuk also, but just throwing that out there. I have to wonder if Vegas becomes a regular partner considering the closeness of the 2 gms.
