Well it still seems rather harsh. Lord knows if everybody whose job performance was lacking got put down... well, the forums here would be a lot less active from 9 to 5, if you follow.

Good to see Boston get hit with the injury bug. Horton, Peverley, Corvo, and Boychuk.

Trading JvR today is a horrible mistake. I can't believe he's even considered to be on the trading block. That's so insane to me.

Well he just said Gaustad has been traded. So this could be the moment some Flyers fans have been hoping for.
- Flyers1218


Gaustad will probably land in Detroit. That's my guess.

Yeah. He has broken some trades in all sports. He is hit and miss though. A lot of the stuff he says doesn't happen.
- PLindbergh31


I think everyone who engages in rumors is hit and miss. There's always moving pieces and last minute changes. Guys like McKenzie and Dreger have more cred because they wait to get it right before saying something's a done deal.

Also, I wouldn't be amazed if McKenzie is on the line as trades go down

I have been defending Bryz to the hilt since the start... But after this road trip I am getting a little frustrated myself... I mean.. Your telling me he had a good performance AFTER he let in 2 soft goals.... Has it gotten so bad that you have to say, "well at least he played well after he screwed the pooch... thats something to build on..."? He has let in too many soft goals, in every game... I can handle a soft goal here and there, but at lest 2 in the last 4 games? Just really bad when you have to defend a guy by saying at least he was good after he sucked really bad....
- RooNosHockey

You were defending Bryz at the start, now you're not. Your breaking point doesn't have to be my own. That win was something the build on. It showed character from everyone. Period.

It depends on the return. If they can get a top young defenseman for him, it makes sense.

That'd be a real nice pick up for them.

Btw, just to reiterate to everyone. I was up all night for work and then went straight to school and have since had 5 cups of coffee. It's a terrible combo and I apologize if I'm being annoying. I swear I'm trying to NOT act like Scottie Upshall.

That is true. Most of the credible guys don't engage in speculation, they just break a trade once they know it's pretty much a done deal.

I wonder what type of sourcers IB has. Obviously some.

I hope you stay positive... I'm just pissed off. I was hoping for a turn around, but he has only gotten worse... It's discouraging.

Would you guys do Carle for L. Schenn plus another young forward?

He seems to have a lot of NY based guys and Toronto based guys.
