Who gives a F$$$, it's a nothing deal and the Blues needed him more.

A 2nd round pick is not nothing.

Frolik is nothing

Picking up a second round draft pick is not a nothing deal.

I like his game a lot
- Stripes77


So do I. He has speed for days.

He’s a huge get for LA.
Their prospect pool is pretty stacked.

Seeing what Ottawa has done picks and prospect wise.

They could be a powerhouse in a few years.

You're failing to recognize that another GM just got a second for Scandella when Botts only got a 4th. It might be possible to explain that circumstances were different two weeks ago but its not fair to say people are complaining just to complain.
- Angler

Who cares 2nd, 4th what's it matter. Scandella was traded then and the market was different and he got what the Flames were looking for to make the deal.It's complaining to complain.

Jeff Skinner for Cliff Pu and a 2nd.

Still one of the biggest W's in GM history.

- JVince11



For a rental when we were a bottom feeder last year? Him then signing him to one of the worst contracts in the league as an UFA took away anything from that trade

Its not it’s frustration that this gm might be doing just as bad of a job as Tim Murray, but in a completely different manner.

TM paid too much for his guys he acquired
JB is apparently getting not enough for the guys he’s moving out.

Trading Scandella for Frolik is no different than just letting Scandella walks as a UFA

Skinner could end up being the worst move JB ever made.

2 totally different GM's, one was told to speed it up starting NOW, the other was told, do what you need to do.

A 2nd rounder is nothing.

That's a terrible take

Nah his XGF is off the charts.

I was told three months ago there is no way Skinner finishes with under 40 points.

Skinner is Supposedly elite, he is being paid to be elite. He has literally done nothing. He cannot drive a line, he makes no impact.

It’s not like he’s setting guys up either. He’s extremely one dimensional right now.

It’s going to be a rough 7 years if he can’t figure it out.

We hate Okposo deal and Skinner is already worse than that in YEAR ONE. The next GM will be saddled with this albatross for years.

It certainly looks that way right now. He got paid and his production fell off a cliff.

The Canadiens turned a 4th into a 2nd and 4th

The Sabres turned a 4th into Frolik

Would you rather have a 2nd and a 4th or Frolik?

- jcragcrumple

Didnt realize we could’ve moved Scandella twice.

I’m just glad you’ve been consistent in the opinion of wanting Scandella here until the deadline or until Boumeester collapsed. We all know it’s been your opinion all along that he should’ve kept all the D men as long as possible

- jcragcrumple

Yea it is nothing, we have had how many 2nd rounders are we a playoff team ?nope. It's been picks and prospects for years with this team and we aren't making the playoffs again.Get a hobby and stop spending so much time on this site.

If JB convinces Terry and Kim of his Patience Plan, he'll be here for the entire thing.

The Canadiens got a 2nd and a conditional 4th. There is no second 4th

I really want to hear you defend what Botterill did here

I'd move mccabe for a 2nd and a 4th


same for miller

- homiedclown


Miller? He has arguably been our best D lately. We're starting to see the real guy, I believe.
