Poor sharks fans are slotting Kunin onto their top line....

Man, there have been some crazy deals today.

Kunin might end up on any of the lines for SJS. They just don't have much for high end FWDs; Meier, Hertl, and Couture is about it.

Benn to TOR on a $750k x 1 (1-way) contract. Not a player I'm going to miss.

Our Benn? Hell yeah, addition by subtraction
I don't often agree with that type of logic, but nearly all indicators and stats for him were mathematically negative, so yes, I completely agree. I hope he does a lot better in Toronto because he seems like an ok dude, but he was one of the worst defensemen I've seen in a Wild sweater, in a dead heat with Cam Barker.

Yeah, I hear you. He does seem like a good guy and I don't wish him anything but the best. But, man, I'm excited to not have to watch him trip over his skates and fall backwards

Where does Martin Skoula rank? Or was he just a punching bag?
He was a punching bag. He wasn't great, but he was never near as bad as everyone made out at the time.

He just had highlight reel level bloopers that everyone latched onto and would never let go. Clumsy at the worst possible time on a few occasions.

I'm actually fond of Martin Skoula. When he wasn't making egregious, ice shattering errors he was quite solid.

I was always a fan of him too, but I was still a very casual hockey fan back in those days

A name I wish I had never heard.
Come on. It was worth it just to hear people (especially my dad) butcher the pronunciation of his full name. I was friends with someone who worked at the Hockey Lodge back then, and she would laugh at how bad some folks would mess it up when asking for his jersey.

Now the fact that anyone actually wanted his jersey is a whole other matter :huh:
