The Out of Town Thread part LXIX - All Talk From Around the League Here ‎

[HuGort]

Just thinking what life would have been like with Pierre McGuire as GM. Yakupov and Halak instead of Eller, Galchenyuk and Subban. He'd have set the franchise back further than Houle.

I don't understand this... How could McGuire get Yakupov?

He wanted to trade Subban and the 3rd overall for the 1st overall. He also suggested the Habs trade the 3rd overall for Jordan Staal.

Skate blades in the air like that could have hurt someone.

For sure but thank god he didn't so we can have a little chuckle at him.

What a mess the Oilers are.. 4-1 Caps.

They should just play 4 forwards and two D. No goalie, since the goalies don't stop pucks anyway

When was this?

When was this?

Prior to the draft.

I'm glad he's not the GM. It would be a gong show. The only redeeming aspect would be disassociating from fandom and laughing at the 100 page threads here after every dumb trade.

How would that be a good thing?!

From bad to worse: The Oilers will be playing a road game vs the Pittsburgh Penguins tomorrow.

Crosby, Malkin vs Dubnyk.

He'll probably get a shut out, this is how things seem to work sometimes.

I'm exaggerating. I like fandom. But if McGuire were GM, I would take a hike as a survival mechanism, and check in on you guys every so often to laugh. There would be a Higgins for McDonagh thread two or three times a year.

I do the same for politics. I used to be an off-the-scale political junkie. Then it turned into an even bigger gong show with world leaders like Harper, Obama, Cameron, and Abbott. I don't follow as hard now.

That trade would've been a MONSTER!

In all seriousness though, this board would've exploded, and me along with it. No way any team could survive the Gomez trade and a fiasco like this in the same decade.

What a laughing stock of a trade that would've been.

McGuire first trade for Montreal would be Galchenyuk, Price, 2nd for Vincent LeCav

**** it, give em that 3rd liner Eller and Youppi while we're at it.

 

[Et le But]

It's Yakupov's fault clearly. Damn those enigmatic Russians!

That "package" Gainey peddled for Lecavalier was leagues worse. Thank Bettman he vetoed it.

 

[Draft]

Edmonton is bad and we should feel bad about playing such a close game with them. It's just about embarrassing to see a Canadian team play like this. Not as bad as Florida but.... yikes.

 

[Tyson]

That Oiler franchise is a mess. No goalies in their system. Weak D corps. Nice forward talent but they are thin everywhere else. Sad

I had to do that with basketball for a while, I'm a Knicks fan and I mostly watched west coast NBA during the Isiah Thomas era and only followed the Knicks as a bad reality show.

I've distanced myself from electoral politics for the same reason.

I've heard rumours of this. Is this actual fact?

Wasn't it Price & PK for Vinny?

we may want to ask this LG guy who seems to think that tanking for years is the only way to build a contender... he'll tell you all is fine in Oil country, they're just a few more years away

I vomit every time I hear this rumour............man I hope that wasn't true!!!!

Plekanec, Subban, Price and a 1st for Vinny IIRC

There might have been another player in there, I just remember who if there was.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Gorges was also involved, Lawson had publically stated that Plekanec, Gorges and Higgins were on the table.
