Jesus f***ing Christ.

 

[All Mighty]

I would never have expected him to accept a deal here.

 

[dracom]

Of course. Pat loves slow bad defensively tough defenseman. I bet it’s for Fowler

 

[Dryish]

Uhh, what?

 

[Lord Flashheart]

What a shitshow.

 

[Gliff]

No issue with it, as long as he was free.

If he comes with an asset or has some retained then it makes it better.

Fowler should be on the move now.

 

[dracom]

Vaaks and a pick? Weird

[Dryish]

If that's all that it took, okay, but why on EARTH are we the ones paying a pick?

[Rybread86]

If its really only Vaaks and a pick (as long as its like a 3rd or lower), I have 0 problem with the return

[dracom]

This means helleson gets sent down huh?

 

[MMC]

 

[Rybread86]

whats the pick? Thats all I need to know

 

[Static]

Trouba has become underrated. I'm glad we are addressing a massive weakness here, finally using some cap space to grab a player most other teams cannot make work.

 

[darkwingduck]

Sounds like its a 4th

 

[Static]

We paid nothing for this. A 7th Dman and a lottery ticket pick. Nice bit of work.

 

[All Mighty]

I will like this trade more if we are able to trade Fowler elsewhere for a positive return.

 

[Rybread86]

Dude, ok.... again, not his biggest fan but getting a physical guy like Trouba for a 7th Dman and a 4th rounder, thats a pretty good deal. And he is/was their captain so we add some leadership to the locker room too

 

[Static]

I will like this trade more if we are able to trade Fowler elsewhere for a positive return.

Yeah, he kind of has to be moved now.

 

[Firequacker]

I despise this so much. I'd rather have Vaaks but whatever, they've clearly decided he doesn't have a place on the team because of injuries. Vaaks and a pick?

 

[Dryish]

We paid nothing for this. A 7th Dman and a lottery ticket pick. Nice bit of work.

I think you're seriously underestimating how hard he's fallen. This could be another Allen situation.

We never should have been the ones forced to pay in this situation either. I'm marking this down as Verbeek's first genuine failure.
