And yet, somehow the Lightning were in the East semis last year without Stralman, and the Rags are doing just fine this year without him

Sather let one walk...but acquired the other

Stralman's a complementary piece...nice to have, but ultimately replaceable

And Sather replaced him, and upgraded

- AllInForFlyers


Why did Sather bother adding Yandle? They went to the Cup finals without him!


Does TB's success this season have anything to do with Stralman's solid play, or is he eliminated as a factor in that due to being a complimentary piece that is ultimately replaceable.?

Here's the bottom line. All the evidence points to Stralman being a solid top 4 defenseman, on not just one good team but two good teams in recent seasons.

I don't think he upgraded. I think Stralman is a better all around defenseman, and Sather didn't have to give up Duclair, a first, and Moore to keep Stralman. He only had to pay him.

Chevy is going trade crazy. Loading up on bottom level talent. Staying true to Winnipeg culture.

Cripes. Has anyone been traded as many times as Stempniak?

You are debating with someone who thinks the Rangers overpaid for Yandle, and the Flyers paid market value for MacDonald who they routinely pay 50K per game to have him sit in the press box.

Sather gets another one to take less than market value.

I'd never want to live there myself. Far to many people. I feel I'd just always want to yell at someone for being in my way. Is there grass?

Only in their pipes

I guess he'll get Stepan to take $4.75 mill & they will all be in cap harmony again.

Yandle blows hard in his own end, and makes insane turnovers at bad times. Love this deal for the flyers.
