I know, I know, I know. I heard the first time.

All I'm saying is that you guys should have held out for a little more, wouldn't you agree?

sure.

It would have been the winner if it would have been the winner!

stop criticizing please.

- Pecafan Fan

At that price, I would surely do.
- Not_Yan

Can't argue with you there. That's a pretty sweet price.

Yes.
But they made an underrated deal. No one really knew what Reilly Smith would be.

More to the point, and I got into this on the radio the other day, the off-ice crap with Seguin gave Boston an opportunity to move him without the massive PR blowback.

They have a window to win. It was last year, this year, next year, and then things change for them. Krejci is going to be a UFA, so is Boychuk. Lucic the following year.

They weren't going to promote Seguin to centre over Bergeron and Krejci (not this year, and not next year). And they weren't getting the best out of him at wing.

So they traded him for a natural winger, and one who they felt would fit better next to Bergeron and Marchand on that line. There was no way to predict Eriksson would get concussed twice. But Smith has been excellent for them too, and Eriksson has come around.

Like I said, it helped them make the move that Seguin was a disaster off the ice. And for all intents and purposes, they improved their chances at a Stanley Cup this year, or next year with the move they made.

Over the long-term, there's no winning a deal that involves such a young and incredible talent.

The kid is 3rd in scoring behind Crosby and Getzlaf, he's 22!!
And BOS would not move him to center to replace Krejci (and his 17 goals)?!?
Good for them. (frank) Boston!

The word underrated is overrated.

sometimes you step in some poop and you don't realize how deep it is.

But it wasn't the winner, because it wasn't the winner.

Sens win that game easy, if Habs don't score 7.

no kidding.
- stormey

At least I got my point accross.

Eric, do you think the PQ has any chance of upsetting corrupt liberals in Montreal's West-Island and do you think the Charter will finally clean up some of the scum?

At least I got my point accross.
