Pretty lateral move.

MIght as well give the Oilers the cup now :laugh:. Youd think they would of traded for defense. No, moar offense plz.
 
This deal really doesn't help the Blues except for the fact it clears cap space to sign Petro and Stewart.

And that's probably why this deal was made. They had to clear up some cap space and he was the most likely casualty due to his cap hit. At his best, he's been a 20 goal guy, but he's also an injury risk given his concussions. Blues had to sell low here.
 
Now would be a great time for Homer to offer sheet Pietrangelo. 15 year/200 million or some albatross deal like that...

7 years is the max he could offer. 8 to your own free agents, 7 to others. So basically, 7 years, $70M. Do it Homer!!!
 
Rask is over paid as hell.

I for one don't like Quicks term because he's a goalie. 10 years is a scary term but 5.8 cap hit. Rask for 7 doesn't deserve that much imo.
 
Garbage in Garbage out imo.

Perron is a china doll and MPS is a 3rd line player with a second liners mind set. I like him but don't see him as being capable of becoming more than a good complimentary player.

Philly 7year @ $60m offersheet in 3,2,1.......
 
Don't like this at all for the Oilers. Why bring in another forward when you drastically need d-man, I assume MPS could have atleast brought in a 4 or 5 d-man, instead they trade him for a talented player who reportedly has serious character issues and attitude problems.

The trade is bad for both teams, which is good for us! :)
 
Blues replaced Andy Mac and Perron for MP and Derek Roy.

The upside of MP is that he scored only 1 less goal than Perron last year but makes much less and is bigger and younger. Plus, they added a high 2nd round pick.
 
Why is nobody taking about Jonathon Blum?

You figure someone should give him a one year prove yourself deal
 
Ladies and gentleman,

Ilya Kovalchuk retired. No joke. At age 30, he's retired to go back to Russia. Sure ****ing glad we missed that bullet.

Carry on.

Chalk up another thing that idiot writer on hockeybuzz *****ed and whined about only to be proven categorically asinine.
 
That really f'd up the Devils franchise. They lost a 1st, tons of money, let Parise and Clarkson walk...all those had to do with this contract. wow.

Yep. Lou is so ****ed. I wonder if this could possibly lead to the end of one of the best ever GM's reign.
 
I don't feel bad at all for the Devils. First you sign him to that albatross, ****ing RIDICULOUS contract, and then you let two of your better players walk. Everyone said they'd re-sign because "Lou gets what Lou wants!" Well look at them now. Always, ALWAYS trade for assets if you're not absolutely sure he'd re-sign.

That franchise is in deep.
