Does that come with any sort of a money back guarantee? I seem to remember Stevens actually playing games. Komi, not so much.

Komi is a double agent. He may have YOUR teams jersey on, but sometimes I swear hes trying to help the other team win.

Apparently you didn't read what I said.

When you're trading for a UFA like Parise, a smart GM has the Devils negotiate an extension prior to the trade.

Pretty standard.

And yes, an Parise with a contract extension is ABSOLUTELY worth Schenn and Kadri....overrating your players a bit perhaps?

that would be a steal for toronto.. it's gunna take more then that.... the key in a big trade like this is getting the best player .. over payment or not.

Yeah but not a slam dunk. If he wants a team that is a cup contender pending a move or two, he could just stay in NJ.

I don't think we can carry on this conversation if we're going to pretend that NJ is a move or two away from being a cup contender.

NJ is a goalie, a few solid dmen and a few depth forwards away from contention...not a move or two.
