Dude, nobody has ever doubted that some of those trades are awful. But hearing you whine about them 3 times a week for an entire year is beyond annoying. Either get some actual material or quit blogging. You've said the same thing 6000 times.

Since Marner was brought up.. does he get the same AAV as Matthews? Same term? That’s kinda what I’m thinking is that Dubas will try to match terms and get it done before 7/1.

I know Patty is big on Kadri - I think he gets dealt among others. Wouldn’t surprise me to see Nylander get some time at 3C next year, maybe Sheahan comes on for $1MM or whatever. We’ll see

Mariner is taking a discount if he takes anything less than 10.5 and he should get whatever term he wants. He is awesome.

Leafs will be able to move Marleau to clear I expect.

Dubas has handcuffed himself a bit by promising not to trade Nylander. He would be the guy to move to bolster the D.

Friedman’s latest article is (frank)ing scary. Says Phil is 100% getting moved regardless of anything and that Pittsburgh might be leaking these Malkin rumors just to rattle his cage.

So basically we’re moving Phil for the sake of moving him and shaking the team up (directionless), and management is purposefully antagonizing the other face of our franchise. Fire Jim Rutherford yesterday.

Friedman said he thinks it is likely Kessel gets moved. He doesn't say he is getting moved 100%

Well (frank). That’s what I get for taking someone’s word for it. Should have fact checked but was too lazy coming off my afternoon nap.

Dude just listen to the 31 thoughts podcast

Has RW been incorrect in any of those blogs?

Don't know. Don't read them anymore. Got his point the first time.

I have no idea how you came to those conclusions in reading that article. I didnt read anything close to that.

Chiarelli is looking for work, he could move Malkin and Crosby for you.

(frank)ing contribute something, anything, rather than coming in once a blog, female doging about the blogger, and leaving. It’s (frank)ing annoying. No one actually reads the blogs anymore. Get with it.

So Loui Eriksson called out his coach apparently looking for a trade. Poison pill question... would you do a JJ for Eriksson trade?

3 years at $6m on a player who was once a major offensive talent vs 4 years at 3.25 of a guy who should be buried in the minors.

I think if you could get Van to eat 1-1.5m it would be worth a shot. Or maybe they should just avoid what would look like a poop for poop trade.

I’ve never seen you so spicy Vic. I like it.

You would be better off just burying JJ and cutting your losses.

Having happy hour on a Friday is throwing away free money. I don't really get why some bars actually do this. People are gonna come on a Friday anyways. How many people are you really incentivizing with drink specials that would have stayed home if it weren’t for $2 tall boys/wells and $5 pitchers?

No you just listen to them.

Everybody in Pittsburgh thinks he's getting moved 100%.

From DK today...

What I’m comfortable sharing at this level of confirmation is this: Kessel’s well-known passion for poker/gambling affected his focus and preparation, in the eyes of the team, including into the Stanley Cup playoffs. Also, his open insubordination toward Mike Sullivan and the assistant coaches, as well as repeated vocal berating of the team’s staff — media relations people, equipment managers and others — has more than worn thin with all concerned. I’ve witnessed the latter with my own eyes — as have several others — most recently in the PPG Paints Arena locker room minutes after the Game 4 loss. When the team was winning, it was mostly shrugged off with Phil-being-Phil jokes. Not anymore. — Dejan Kovacevic

Interesting. He’s getting moved. Some say Arizona is a place he’d wave his NTC to.
Would Chychrun, Dvorak and Crouse be good names to go after?
