All picks were returned to respective teams in this game, which I feel is dumb. NYI should have the SJ 1st, that pick was the main part of the Campoli/Comrie for McAmmond/SJ 1st trade.
Wait a minute- how can San Jose afford Kubina?
I was thinking the same thing. San jose only has around 30,000 left to spend on the cap and Kubina makes 5m per year. I know they traded away Grier but i still dont think that is enough cap space to take on Kubina.
how do you think I feel, I had 3 2nds and 2 1sts. And now no more picks and no Campoli.All picks were returned to respective teams in this game, which I feel is dumb. NYI should have the SJ 1st, that pick was the main part of the Campoli/Comrie for McAmmond/SJ 1st trade.
Because you should have SJ's 1st...

Nigel Dawes, Andy Hilbert, Andy Sutton, Erik Christenen, 3rd round pick in 09'
I'm adding veteran presence.
I still have Mueller, Turris, Hanzal and countless other young players
I don't think that I gave away the cup. I honestly think that I made my cup chances better. Here is why I think so
Dan Boyle
5'10"/190lbs
14 Goals, 33 Assits for 47 Points +8
1.2 Blocked shots per game
0.7 Hits per game
Salary of 6.667M for next 5 years
Pavel Kubina
6'4"/244lbs
13 Goals, 25 Assists for 38 points -8
1.6 Blocked Shots per game
1.1 Hits per game
Salary of 5M for next year only
Daniel Girardi
6'2"/200lbs
3 Goals 13 Assists, 16 points -13
1.7 Blocked shots per game
0.8 Hits per game
Salary of 1.6M for next year
Now I traded Dan Boyle for two players that give me a lot of physical presence that combined are putting up more points then Boyle but sacrifice the body a lot more then Boyle. Boyle is a +8 but he is on a team that is overall a +51 in GF and GA. Kubina is a -8, Toronto is a -39 and they have the worst GAA and Save % in the league(Goaltending).
My Defense went from 163 points to 164 points, So I didn't lose out on any offense and I made the team Defensively better! But thats just my opinion
They traded away Boyle... forfeiting their cup...
Canadiens look pretty ****ed with the cap too... Hope people are keeping track... OTT's cap calculations don't work either, but the Sedins trade didn't go down anyway, I guess they are ok without that... (cap space left is 2M off or something...)
Alrighty. We'll kick your ass in round 2.
Minnesota Wild have begun talks to possibly hire Mark Messier as head-coach since the MacLean talks seem to trail off...
The Toronto Maple Leafs have claimed defenceman Wade Redden off waivers.
