Atleast they already are used to getting hosed by now

He not only got robbed, he got bent over before they left with the loot!

That had to hurt.

A package of four first round picks is a way better return than what Jackets just got. They just got two role players for the face of their franchise. Embarrassing.

This Weber situation better end in a good way.

true

who's more valuable, nash or weber?

Who are the two top 6 forwards?

We all saw what the deal was.

Apparently Byfuglien put on some weight

If I were still a Columbus fan at this point, I'd be checking myself into an insane asylum.

That had to hurt.

I think a tube of KY was part of the deal

Erixson had better turn out to be one hell of a defenseman. And they better pick the right player with that first round pick.

That's can't be right. (Clicks link.) Um wow. RT @capgeek: Rangers have $13.3M in cap space after Rick Nash acquisition http://bit.ly/g6LA1t




Glad they didnt send the same offer sheet for Weber

How much leverage did Howson have in your view?

and its clear the offers coming in from other teams were even worse than this one... correct?

I guess Howson blinked first.
- stveshdy

Yeah, and bit the pillow

You can't spell Howson without the word HOW?!

I rather let Nash rot in Columbus before I accept that trade.

His name comes from combining the words How and Son, which comes from the question everyone asks when they meet him, "How, son, do you still have a job?"

Voracek and a 1?

So does this hurt/help Ryan's trade value?

More so Howson way overplayed his hand. He should have dealt Nash no later then the draft. He waited too long, I believe his demands were so outrageous, teams were like screw this we'll turn our attention elsewhere.

Apparently not a lot. I would think that is a safe assumption that he took his best deal. He didn't have to deal him.

Think about what the Flyers got for Carter. How does this deal match up to that?

Poile should take a cue from Howson and realize he is supposed to be a poopty GM. Is it possible for Poile to trade the 4 1st rounders back to Homer for Shelley?

Voracek and a 1?

no picks due to getting Weber
