Double overager? God almighty what is this...

Double overager? God almighty what is this...

It's a 4th round pick in a weak draft

 

[The Old Master]

That lineup looks good enough to miss the playoffs.

we will flip him at the trade deadline

 

[K Fleur]

we will flip him at the trade deadline

Who the whole f***ing team?

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I'll take any bet anyone wants to set up that this team keeps Hayes his entire remaining contract and possibly beyond. They are not looking at him the way you guys want them to... I am very confident of that.

He'll be 34 by the end of this current deal, so, let's see, another five year deal to take him to 39?

 

[K Fleur]

Looking at this team.. I’m going to flip the channel most game nights.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Yeah I don't get not being happy with this move. If he ends up sucking it's no great loss and they got a high end pick out of it.

If he provides value then they got a decent player for free and got a pick out of it.

I don't see him as blocking prospects either. Injuries will happen as they always do and if any of our prospects blow the doors off in wbs they'll find a spot in the lineup for them anyways.

He definitely blocks guys like Pono and Poulin, but that's only if the team views them as centers or gives a shit about them in any way. Two big ifs at this point.

 

[Gurglesons]

People excusing Dubas even still are honestly hilarious to me.

“He’s got something else cooking”

“These are the moves he has to make”

“He’s got a plan”.

This dude as I have said is a worse version of Ron Hextall.

 

[K Fleur]

The player most blocking Poulin is Poulin.


Cause he suuuucks.

 

[SEALBound]

If Dubas wants the youth infusion, it wouldn't be shocking to me to see one or more of Eller, Hayes, Acciari scratched if guys like Poulin, Puustinen, Puljujarvi, Pono, etc are providing to be decent.

Dude you and Dubas is like HOG and Sullivan at this point.

Even if you’re right nobody wants to read that shit.

 

[Malkinstheman]

I think Ellers gone once teams miss out on free agents

 

[Gurglesons]

Dude you and Dubas is like HOG and Sullivan at this point.

If I cared about what people wanted to read would I even exist?

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Were Pono and/or Poulin even on the list of "young players we expect to compete for a spot" that either Sullivan or Dubas (forget which... my brain flips off for the sake of self-preservation when they start talking) listed yesterday? I thought it was like... St. Ivany, Gruden, Puus and like Vinny Hinostroza.

 

[Gurglesons]

If Dubas wants the youth infusion, it wouldn't be shocking to me to see one or more of Eller, Hayes, Acciari scratched if guys like Poulin, Puustinen, Puljujarvi, Pono, etc are providing to be decent.

If this happens I would 100% be absolutely shocked.

Pixies isn't content to just beat the dead horse.

The entire stable needs to be liquified.

 

[The Old Master]

we will flip him at the trade deadline

that's a better ans, than mine. hayes

 

[Zbynek]

My thoughts are, Hayes sucks ass.

 

[Gurglesons]

Sorry. I’ll go back to blaming Ron Hextall for the roster like the “knowledgeable” fans on here.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I like how pixies was like "Oh we got a 2nd for taking Hayes, that's good actually" now he's back to just bitching and moaning.

Team sucks, ownership sucks, coaching sucks, FO sucks. No shit. Take these little victories when we get 'em cuz this is as good as this team's gonna be for the next decade, and there ain't anything to look forward to until they're picking top-3 or top-5 again and getting building blocks.

 

[Zbynek]

Man I really hate that f***er

I mean... second rounders are good again, now? Victories?

Like... why are we pumped about what is probably a buncha nothing? Especially on a team that kinda can't... you know... draft OR develop players?

I was expecting Dubas to give up value so I am happy that it was a cap dump.

The player still sucks.

 

[Zbynek]

What an absolute waste of 3.6 million.... just why, man

This team needed to get a goal scorer and we get basically another Jeff Carter but somehow slower and worse?

What an absolute puke move from the Doobenheimer. Also, does he target unlikeable assholes on purpose? Bunting and now Hayes.
