You're thinking of Winnik

Lot of fresh powder up in Alaska that time of year so it should work out.

 

[Avs9296]

Sure, have met him but not a friend or somebody I keep in contact with.

You didn't have to skewer him like that tho haha

Any wish for a minor last minute trade?

Avs could really trade a depth defenseman for a depth forward.

This is what I was thinking, both teams just swap a guy they don't wanna lose on waivers

The Swayman situation remind me of the O'Reilly situation with Avs. They took him to arbitration and he took it personally and now they are paying the price.

Pride and respect works in different ways with different people but you have to know who are dealing with or things aren't going to end well. I know this from my own experiences.

But they didn't take him to arbitration. They were literally in the waiting room before the hearing and Sakic talked him into signing a deal.

If there was bad blood it was well in place long, long before that. The whole contract talks falling apart because (allegedly) Eric Lacroix went barging in and completely screwed things up, followed by the offer sheet that pretty much got people on both sides of it fired.

So… I guess Boston did have to go above 64m…

250k would mean so much to me over 8mil. Decisive shit.

With these guys it is ego… not lifestyle. The idea here though that he wouldn’t get more thank 64m was misguided and Boston had to go above to sign him.

Well...the Eagles look like a pretty loaded AHL team this year.
