We're the only team in the league that does the opposite for some inexplicable reason.

It’s not really inexplicable. It’s because CMac is a dog shit GM.

Don’t remember where the noise came from last year about Dowd getting a first. But it’s certainly nice that didn’t happen. Otherwise, the conversation about Evans’ value might be different.

The talk was about Dowd/Lindgrem for a 1st was because at 50% you'd get Dowd for two years for like 650k or something and a big upgrade in net.

If that’s what it was, it would have been worth a 1st. Too bad that had to be used to maneuver around getting rid of Johansen (et al).

Same reason we should be talking about a Fowler Gibson trade.

Those posts wanting to give Ross Coulton the prom dumpster baby treatment haven't aged well.

I still take Drouin over Colton.

I don’t feel like they have.

I was one of them who thought that if cap space was needed, Colton was the most logical choice, of the realistic moves that there were.

These 5-6 games haven’t changed my opinion.

And it has nothing to do with Colton. I like Colton, and I like what he brings. It of all the forwards on the team with a decent cap hit, Colton was the weakest for his position being played. As a C, he’s nowhere near as good as he has been playing. The discussion was between moving Lehkonen or Colton.

I’d still prefer Lehkonen as a top 6 winger.
