Simmonds Niño Ladd Kane Strome

Stupid Gillis
- VANTEL

Ladd was the only guy during CHI's exodus that I really wanted Gillis to grab. The rest I just hated too much. Now I'd grab nearly all of them.

How are you fine gentleman?

No kidding, Ladd, Brouwer, Buff, Bolland, Versteeg, even Colin Fraser, Kopecky and Madden contributed. @#$@, that team was stacked

I would shoot myself if I looked like that, not that there's anything wrong with that.

I was having a bad hair day.

Shooting oneself over having a chiseled body is a perfectly natural thing to do.

Systemtool? I thought they were already together.

I sure hope we trade for Neiderreiter RFA

Edler and a second for Niño

Kinda hard to trade for guys like Johansen, Nyquist, Nino, Granlund after they've already had significant growth in the NHL.

Hell, we treat Kassian like gold.

Too true. But in our defense all of us (collectively or individually) have advocated for all of those guys before they broke out.

The trick is obviously to get a player right on the cusp of an upswing. Once they've arrived they're worth Fort Knox in trade. I don't believe Gillis had an eye for budding talent. Hopefully the next guys do.
