People like to forget that Crosby fought off a lot of injuries in the earlier part of his career. Between 2010 and 2012 he missed 100 games due to concussions.
Then in 2013 he broke his jaw at the end of the season, though I think he only missed a couple playoff games.
How would our Blackhawks have fared in a cup final with a healthy Crosby in 2010 or 2013? I'm not so sure it would have played out the same.

Absolutely insane that Rob Blake is allowed to still make NHL moves.
He didn't fix anything. Alex Iafallo, Gabriel Vilardi, Rasmus Kupari and a 2024 second-round pick were traded for Keumper.Getting rid of PLD would be Blake fixing mistake
Caps get something else back here of good value
He fixed his own mistake but to admit it and look like the fool isnt easy for some of these guys. It would have been an 8 year anchor.He didn't fix anything. Alex Iafallo, Gabriel Vilardi, Rasmus Kupari and a 2024 second-round pick were traded for Keumper.
He didn't let the sunk cost fallacy make it worse, but its still a clown shown of a move.
Sure makes it look like he's got a plan all figured out there in LA, that is for sure.He fixed his own mistake but to admit it and look like the fool isnt easy for some of these guys. It would have been an 8 year anchor.
He should be fired but holy hell good on him for realizing his error and immediately rectifying it.

If I am an LA fan I am very happy with this trade. PLD just bouncing around. He will probably get moved in another 4 years at 50% in a caps rebuild.Sure makes it look like he's got a plan all figured out there in LA, that is for sure.
He should get credit for getting rid of him before July 1. He should still be fired.He should be fired but holy hell good on him for realizing his error and immediately rectifying it.
I mean we did the same thing to Panarin.Imagine sucking at your job so much, that they fire you before the contract even starts.
Thats like walking in the door and being fired for something before you even get to your desk.
Easily.Wow so much cap room for GMs to be bold. If you wanted out of Jones, you can do it if you wanted to. I personally don’t want out of the contract… just saying you could.

I take Strome over PLD and that contract any day of the week. Strome might be a horrible skater and scared of contact but there’s at least some semblance of effort thereNeeding a better first line Center than Dylan Strome will make a team desperate I guess.
It was a joke. That PLD contract is radioactive.I take Strome over PLD and that contract any day of the week. Strome might be a horrible skater and scared of contact but there’s at least some semblance of effort there
