People who clamor about PLD should watch this
Imagine if Duchene played like that? Just a complete lack of respect for anyone on the team and himself as well.
Let’s send Graves to the moon
Until he's a free agent.Ya I dont think that's a poor match at all.
One day Laine will finally shed this reputation that has been falsely placed on him. He'll do great in Columbus.
Buffalo had a plan all along. Sign Hall and trade for Staal so they could send both to us at the deadline for a pretty package.I'm usually not a fan of 35+ rentals but with a shortened season and where you should give veterans the odd night off down the stretch, I could see someone like Eric Staal be a good addition for Avs this season.
Why not? He’s playing like shit.Why the F would we trade Kadri. C'mon people.
Was our second best forward in the playoffs yet 5 games into the season with no exhibition games he doesn’t look great so you’d trade him?Why not? He’s playing like shit.
If the right offer comes along... pack your shit.
Gotta give value to get value.

Not looking to trade him. But if the opportunity comes along, he’s faaar from untouchable.Was our second best forward in the playoffs yet 5 games into the season with no exhibition games he doesn’t look great so you’d trade him?

I felt that his playoff stat line was way more flattering that his actual play. He was just there to bang home empty nets but did not carry the play.
THIS!!!How long before Laine wants out fo Columbus? I can’t see him being happy with Torts as his coach.
I’m not a fan of Kadri. He’s often invisible, and his contribution outside of goal scoring fluctuates a lot.Was he really our second best forward though? My problem with Kadri is he is far too individualistic, he has a really hard time using anyone else on the ice. When he is playing well, or getting some bounces this can work...but when it isn’t it’s truly brutal.
He was also heralded as that two-way forward that we all wanted and needed for this team, but his defensive presence isn’t what I was expecting. It’s almost like people just grouped defense and grit together, because he does bring some of that grit.
You almost have to build a line entirely around him, two guys that are fantastic support players and great at forechecking and puck retrieval. We don’t really have that.
I think it’s a good deal for both teams. It was well known both guys wanted out and each team got a good player in return. Laine may not stay long but he has the potential to really boom for CBJ.Seems like over payment for PLD?
This should put the trade Kadri to rest (but it won’t)
I could see PLD for PL straight up but adding Roslovic seems like a bit much. I bet both players end up leaving their new teams anyway.I think it’s a good deal for both teams.
