950K for crab does nothing for us. end of story.

Crabb really does nothing for us. 950k instead of 600k is hardly the reason he wasn't resigned. Opens new story.

Jesus H, Spector's an idiot: Schultz chose Edmonton because they have poopty depth on defense and he knew he could be Aki Berg bad and still break the top 4.

Is that what Schultz told you?
Edmonton has some very D depth in prospects.
He most likely picked the Oil because of their pitch and their young talent.

Hooray!! Another ref is here!

Frank, I'm pretty sure I've been the only one here this weekend. Countless tools reporting nothingness constantly.

Literally at the point where the next pointless reported post I see will give the reporting user a 1 day'er.

Edit: and to the first guy who reports this post...you'll get 4 hours. Zero sense of humor after this weekend.

Well (frank) me...

There goes that sweet Skelotor and Care bear in a raft joke I wanted to tell.

yes it is. Burke said he tried to resign Crab but he was asking too much. We have guy with the marlies that are just as good or better than him. Crab is no loss.

I found it a good read and its true. Burke has to get off his ass and bring in big time players
- Gunslinger


He wants to do it through trades, not UFA, and I don't blame him: there's poop all out there for FAs beyond Suter and Parise, and he's not getting those guys. Plus, his trade track record has been very good since he's been here, and that's why he's said several times leading up to the draft and July 1st is that he wants to address our shortcomings through trades. Only makes sense because we have bodies to move if anyone else comes this way.

I think we are saying the same thing here boss; just with different perspectives. I said Losing Crabb wouldn't be much of a worry. I'm just tired of everybody basing the reasoning on money and not whether he is actually a good fit for the teams needs.

And Burke says a lot of things. I wouldn't take it all at face value.

Hey if Spector can make up some BS, why can't I? All Schultz said was "good fit".

The rest is all speculation and coming from a known Oiler homer and anti-Leafs "analyst", I don't put any value into anything he says.

Crabb was a great 4th liner. If tehre were injuries you know he can move up and play some extra even strength minutes.

'great' and 'crabb' need not be in the same sentence.

I was at the beach all weekend with the family, and I didn't wear sunscreen...

But I still don't feel as burnt as Bob Murray!

Great. Like he did with Kessel and over pay in assets. Fine then so be it. Just get it (frank)ing done.

Suter and Parise better be on his radar. His annoying stance against long term contracts will ensure they do not sign with the leafs.
If you think Burke is going to get lucky like he did with the Gardiner and Lups trade again, well you will be disappointed.
Not a lot of teams are dying to acquire "talent" from a bottom feeding team.
