Appreciate it

What a joke of an organization. Pirates vibes.

Not even close

Say what you want about Vegas' "cap circumvention", but I admire the fact they actually go out and get things done.

 

[TKalltheTime]

He sounds so defeated lol

This guy has no plan or clue… this reeks of Hextall 2.0 is there something more at play here with FSN than we know?

 

[HandshakeLine]

We're gonna go into the summer with about $12 million in cap space to throw at... All those sick ass FAs that'll be available.

"We're not where we aspire to be, we have to improve a lot." Okay, fire the coach and I'll start to listen.

It was amazingly worse than we expected. Dude gets a D+ instead of a D just because we traded Ruh.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

He sounds so defeated lol

I said the same thing.

He also looks like he's aged a few years already.

 

[WickedWrister]

Sounds like Ponomarev will go to WBS but a possible call up before the end of the year

 

[molon labe]

You are leaving forever then?

Forever is a long time fellow.

I will tell you this - I wasn't lying saying I watch 25% of the games these days (post Thanksgiving). That was down from 50% (Keeping Sullivan and extending Jarry).

If we keep Sullivan going into the Summer - next year. Yeah, you bet your ass. No f***ing way I'm wasting time on that lol. Life has a lot of options for hobbies and outlets. Sticking with this shit show is some sort of self deprecating self loathing shit I just don't have in me.

For sure. If you're not cheatin', you're not tryin'.

Wish this team was as cutthroat as Vegas.

 

[Pengu]

Can't wait for the 2028 TDL. if you think this is toxic omg.
Dubas did ok considering the circumstances. Even IF Jake wanted to sign it made ZERO sense giving him 10*8 as the rest of the team is not going in that direction. WHAT was he going to do in 4 years when noone is left on the team? It would had ben asinine. Rentals NEVER yeild top end prospects and it wasn't going to start now as Jake will test the UFA market.
This board will be insufferable in a few years time when the team finishes bottom.

FSG are probably awful owners but lol, that’s why they hire dipshits who think they’re smart.

 

[BusinessGoose]

I am neither more excited or less excited about this team as yesterday

Which I guess means I'm less excited about them

Oh well, @ColePens did this to us

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

It was amazingly worse than we expected. Dude gets a D+ instead of a D just because we traded Ruh.

I'll give him a C- for the fact alone he finally got that useless Sullivan pet out of here.

Everything else is underwhelming as f***.

 

[SEALBound]

Dubas pretty high on Ponomarev and Koivunen. Sounds like Pono will get time in the NHL this year and Koivunen will come over next.

 

[TKalltheTime]

Sounds like Ponomarev will go to WBS but a possible call up before the end of the year

Hilarious you think Mike will play him or that will happen LOL

 

[metalan2]

Not even close

It's getting close.

 

[pistolpete11]

Hertl is a nice get for Vegas, for sure, but I feel the same people that will praise that move are the same people that would complain about re-signing Jake.

Hertl is signed until he's 37 at over $8M and he's never once been a 40G scorer or point per game player.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

No other pending/cached trades, were done here gentlemen.

 

[IcedCapp]

Have you ever noticed that when you type out the teams who participated in last night’s trade, it spells out Carpit (sic), which makes sense, sense the hurricanes WALKED ALL OVER US

 

[HandshakeLine]

I said the same thing.

He also looks like he's aged a few years already.

Good, I hope he has an awful time for the next six years. I hope he gets ulcers in his anus.

 

[TKalltheTime]

Dubas looks like a guy who’s got horrible diarrhea and he’s clenching so tight speeding thru this BS presser lol

 

[HandshakeLine]

Lol

Look at the stars, look how they shine fooooor you.

Put Hertl on Sids wing the last six years... Don't want that contract though lol

Jake is about to either fall off a cliff without Sid or post age 30. Even if he comes back, he's a bad signing. Just watch.
