Ek, you seriously wouldn't trade Myers for Getzlaf straight up? That would be a robbery by Buffalo.

And why does Toronto need help up front? I believe they're in the top 10 for scoring. If an impact center is available then that's awesome but in the absence of that, what they really need is a solid goaltender.

...but the upside is so big that he is the kind of player who can on any given night make 99% of other NHL players look subpar.
- Eklund

Except for the 143 NHL players currently above him in scoring.

Call me when the roomer is Schenn for a #1 centre.

Winnipeg trades Kane for Doan they are smoking crack a 20 something year old player for a player in the twilight of his career. Stupid move.

Same with the Myers for Getzlaf deal stupid move on the Sabres part, Too much panic there sabres always make a hard push to the playoffs and usually get in.

Myers for Getzlaf makes no sense for Buffalo.


Sabres aren't competing for a cup this year and most likely not next year either. Why sell your future for a guy who might not stay anyway?

... so you are saying that Florida somehow offered LESS than a guy on pace for 30 some odd points, who is 30 years old and signed for 5 more years.

What hell was Florida offering, a 5-dollar gift certificate from blowtown bail bonds?

By your description, it sounds like the Flyers need/want Komisarek for JVR

If the Sabres are smart, they make moves with their RFA's and get some new faces in here to see if they can work out in there so called "future". This team is not beating Toronto tonight, they'll loose miserably on the Island tomorrow and I don't see them going any better than 2-4 on this big road trip comming up!!

I assume the talk about forwards came up because Burke outright said he wanted more size and skill upfront. That and he isn't looking for a goaltender. Maybe he wants scoring lines that can do more than score on the rush and actually have the size to hold the puck in a cycle. Really only the fourth line can do something like that right now.

If I was holmgren there is no way I trade JVR for a 2nd/3rd pairing D-man

"Jagr is teaching him the magic that Mario bestowed upon him"

LMFAO.

I'm pretty sure Giroux is thriving because he is really really talented and with Richards and Carter gone he is playing way more beneficial minutes.


Oh yeah I almost forgot, Shane Doan for Evander Kane? In what universe would that make sense.

My main issue with Gauthier's season so far is how he has not been public enough in getting people to grow up and get past the fact that Cunneyworth doesn't speak French. I get the French media's desire to have a French guy to interview and I also get the fact that French Canadian Habs fans want a French coach. I love the cultural aspect of the franchise. I just think sometimes it needs to be kept in a proper perspective and Gauthier is the one guy who could have made that more clear.


Travis, I always love your blogs and check this site religiously just to see if you've written something new... But I must say this is totally off base. You don't even live in the country, how do you think you possibly understand the cultural impact ?

If the Knicks hired a Russian coach that didn't speak a single word of English, would you really give him a chance? If the leafs hired a francophone coach that couldn't speak a word of english, would they really give him a chance? Absolutely not. People need to get off their ignorant high horse.. and this is coming from an anglophone.
