Not available any time, but again. Good players are moved every year.

We'll probably never know unless Sakic writes a book about his GM career instead of his playing career, but I wonder what other offers were out there for O'Reilly when that trade was made.

Sakic might have kept him. Never know.

Look what he's doing with Duchene

I think you're right when you say we have Kadri already. Kadri is a poor man's version of O'Rielly.

I thought you guys were talking Duchene. I would have done Gardiner + for Duchene depending on how steep the + was of course.

They were talking about what Toronto was offering back when we traded for O'Reilly

I feel like I remember it supposedly being Kadri, Gardner & a 1st
Who knows if that's accurate though

Yet, Tomato is a New World food. Italy didn't even use the Tomato in it's cuisine until the 18th century.

Seriously, look it up. You might also find that Vodka sauce isn't actually Italian, it's American.

That Zibanejad contract is a joke. 5 years 5.35 per.

Evander Kane's agent is smiling somewhere.

We did, but again, the timing was wrong. We didnt need one that year.

We could have signed free agent X or Y that could have played the 26 games Lehner did.

I don't hate what Lehner is as a goalie, he has the potential to be a decent starter. But Murray had no plan, he just thought he could trade for 4 or 5 guys and we'd take off.

If Lehner goes out and wins a Vezina, I'll be the first to eat my words about the trade, but until he does, it's just a bad move

- sbroads24

I can agree with this 100 percent

if he doesn't throw away 2 seconds for fasching

if he doesn't give the first for lehner

if he only trades staff as a rental, and held onto myers (or for those who think that got us eichel trade myers for picks and prospects)

we are probably a much better team right now

Was the timing that much different than when the Oilers or Leafs traded for their goalies?
- jdfitz77

they were further along IMO

we got a goalie a year early

No it would have gotten us Matthews (if we landed the 1st pick)
- sbroads24

If we got Laine or Juolevi instead of Nylander

does this roster look better?

The whole topic was based on Wetbandit saying we "needed a goalie".

My point was that we werent far along, and didnt need to trade a 1st for one.

We could have held off a year.

chad johnson would have been fine for 2015-16
