Not saying irs a short term play. Just saying i would be higher up in the standings if he never got hurt.
Thats a fair comment
"My team is criminally underrated, especially my goal-tending"
**Trade Alert**
To CRDragon:
Patrick Sharp
Mike Cammalleri
Henrik Zetterberg
Ryan McDonagh
To JannikAtTheDisco:
Gabriel Landeskog
4th round pick (LB)
Bunch of rentals for a keeper and a good pick, what's to get? I told everyone multiple times that I was looking to make that kind of trade
That's a fair comment. These 3 were not:
"Luck only came into play with McDavid" (note, saying this meant you were telling me that I'm wrong, because I had just said you were lucky in a different way)
"I would be in a top 4 spot if those things did not happen"
"My team is criminally underrated, especially my goal-tending"
Well apparently I couldn't have gotten more then Landeskog cause I didn't receive one other offer over a 6 week period lol, but of course you guys speak up now!
Brock I would have seriously considered Forsberg, it's too bad you just ignored my initial offer for 5 days instead of responding with that idea.
I would have made an offer if I was contending for the cup, since I am just grinding out the season, I stayed away.
Landeskog is a good player, I do think you could have received more, but who am I to talk considering.
Most of these trades won't show up how good / bad they are until the end of the year, and years down the road.
Oh I know I wouldn't have expected you to make an offer, but all these contenders complaining just sound bitter that CRD got a great deal for rentals when any of them could have had the exact same deal if they were the slightest bit proactive
I don't care that CRD got a great deal, I know I'm not a contending team....I just think you got taken to the cleaners on the deal...IMO you should have been able to get much more than a 4th rounder, as well as Landeskog if he was your target player. But if you are satisfied with the deal that's all that really matters.
Well I traded my 1st, 3rd and 4th round picks from this past draft as well as a waiver pick up from earlier in the year. I'd say Landeskog is worth a 1st and 3rd, so I can't be too upset in getting a 4th rounder for a former 4th rounder/waiver pick up that I couldn't have kept.
It's really easy to sit back and say I could have gotten way more in this deal but again I will say it, I've been shopping this package for 6 weeks, making offers to people as well, and the only person to talk/respond to me was CRD.
I'm surprised that no other contending teams made an attempt to make a deal with you.
Me too!
