Glass looked pretty good when I was watching. Skating fast, moving with the puck, stick to stick passes...
It's a good thing we got rid of him to keep Fabbro and Carrier.

I dont regret trading glass. What we did with his capspace though is another story. 3.75M for Carrier, 2.5M for Fabbro, and 2.5M for Glass is alot of capspace.Glass looked pretty good when I was watching. Skating fast, moving with the puck, stick to stick passes...

Carrier + Glass + a 3rd and 6th for $6 mil in cap and Barron is fine. Of course having those guys with that much cap in the first place was stupid.
The Fabbro story is a whole different post

Fabbro is a coaching decision which drives me insane. I dont think ill ever understand it outside of Fabbro just isnt defensively irresponsible enough to play this system.Carrier + Glass + a 3rd and 6th for $6 mil in cap and Barron is fine.

I mean we often saw that side of Glass here too. The problem was he couldn't consistently keep that level of play or would get hurt once he actually was playing well.Glass looked pretty good when I was watching. Skating fast, moving with the puck, stick to stick passes...

There are posters here that don't regret dumping all 3 of them.
But the point was the gestalt of it all. Our centers have been a huge weakness all year. Novak and Sissons both failed. ROR took a few steps backwards from last year. We've been forced to move Stamkos to 1C and anti-overcook Svech (which usually bites us in the chaps)... And we paid all three of these guys contracts that seemingly soured before the ink was dry. Brilliant. And the coach didn't want to play 2 of them on top of that. Carrier was the exception, but when we got the chance to trade Carrier for a long necked guy who's still figuring out which end of the hockey stick to hold, we did that faster than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest.

I would love Boqvist. He'd fit right in with Bruno's system. 0 defense and a ton of offense. And he can actually skate

We're probably pretty high up in the waiver order so you might get your wish!
Utah not getting to use Yeti as their logo because of the cooler company kinda sucks. They’ve added Outlaws to their potential names. If they actually go with Outlaws I may end up jumping ship with the soccer guy from Atlanta and get on the Utah wagon.

I think you'll have to stay. [Ed: nope, 24 hours later and they changed it.]Utah not getting to use Yeti as their logo because of the cooler company kinda sucks.

The final 3 names are: Mammoth, Wasatch, Outlaws, and to stick with "Hockey Club".

That's a solid deal for Calgary, imo.
Both Frost and Farabee probably have more offensive upside than they've shown in Philly under Tortorella. Pelletier is a throw-in and while Kuzmenko is somewhat talented, I don't think he plays the game the right way.

It reads like Philly just wants to clear the deck on salary. They won't have to qualify Frost or pay Farabee. Kuzmenko will expire after this season. So they are just going to use this as the last big draft in their rebuild and create as much Cap room as possible to go shopping in the summer.
I wish we could find teams looking for deals like that. Or that we had a team that would actually play guys like Frost and Farabee. If we hadn't run Tomasino into the ground and discarded him, he would have been about a Pelletier. Tomasino and Nyquist could have been about the same as Pelletier and Kuzmenko.

What I was reading is the two GMs had built a rapport and talked about these players for over a year. So they each felt like the pieces fit into their overall team structure a little better with the exchange.
I got the impression our GM is a guy that can be browbeat and react out of frustration. Maybe that's wrong, but his deals don't seem to help his team when you look at them. They seem more about moving his role players out of the organization so his star players can "shine".
