- Thread starter The Underboss
- Start date
lol.
How do you not insure an injury prone semi-power forward when you play in a place like that? Damn.

This seems like a trade we would have been involved with three years ago (while somehow coming out of it without paying anyone a salary).
I'm as content as one can be with standing pat.

It's cap circumvention for a team where money is not an issue. CBJ contacted Toronto about it so it shows how desperate they were to at least get something for their money. I'm still stunned by this move. Dave Nonis got a gift land in his lap from the heavens. Just WOW.

Exactly why I pegged it a 2011 Isles move. Weird, highly questionable moves like this were once our forte. What a nice year it's been.

Nonis got lucky, but you're right... only the Isles could have pulled off a move like this before. The rest of the league must have taken notes from Garth and how to massage the system. Its a long ways off, but this type of move will probably be eliminated in the next CBA. Rich team advantages, that's for sure. This was also on CBJ's GM, that Horton signing was a terrible move in the first place. Good on him at least correcting his mistake. As bad as Clarkson is, he's a warm body that will actually play.
I still think we'll pick up a depth player or two but Garth should wait until deadline day when teams get desperate to dump a guy.

Definitely, I like that kid's game. I like his brother too, I know Garth was interested in him at one point. He's who he wanted for Parenteau.

After the Leddy signing, we know were not bringing in any D-Men on big contracts (ie: Phaneuf). Even one serviceable #6 with some grit whose seen the playoffs would have me content.
As the days go by, I just get the hunch were going to war with what we've got.

I wonder if Capuano auditions some of our young kids in Bridgeport towards the end of the season. Bridgeport is not making the playoffs so all of Reinhart, Pulock, Mayfield, and Pelech would all be available to us as black aces. All of them bring some sort of size and physicality that might be needed in the playoffs if Hickey Mouse/Visnovsky/Strait are getting abused.
It would also be nice for Pulock to make his NHL debut in a regular season game in the case we need him in the playoffs. His shot could be a huge weapon on the PP. We've seen Reinhart and he was pretty good in his 2nd stint, Mayfield could be the most ready out of the bunch since he's the most seasoned and did get a cup of coffee last year where he wasn't bad when he didn't drop the gloves - ouch. Remember that Brock Nelson made his NHL debut in the playoffs, talk about stacking the deck against him though.

The thought has crossed my mind. If that's the case, I think now is the time. Why Wait? I mean, for a player like Pulock who hasn't seen NHL ice, wouldn't it be better to bring him up during the regular season? If he can hang, then GREAT!
I'd much rather deploy our bluechip types strategically as oppose to on an emergency basis or out of desperation, Once one of our forwards returns we can send Mall Rat back to BPT and recall a D-Man. I like your thinkin Junior...

The NHL should veto this trade, IMO. As far as I know they could. It's as close to trading cash for cap space as you can get.
I just said the same thing on the main boards. Bettman intervened in the original Kovalchuk deal because it was "against the spirit of the CBA." How is this trade not, "against the spirit of the CBA?"

What would you consider the right price to be?
Also, I don't expect any trades at 1030 pm of course, but is there an official cutoff time when you're not allowed to trade?

And after rightfully stripping NJ of it's first rounder, Bettman bent to Lou L's will and gave the Devils a replacement first rounder
I'm not too happy with Bettmen. I also see this as cap circumvention. Make a bad signing or trade? Bettman should not be handing out do overs
I would like to see the Isles try and get Timonen for a conditional pick , he would be good depth with a hopefully a little left in the tank. You could never have to much depth on D in the playoffs. If he is at 60% he is still better than the 3rd pairing guys presently on the roster.
My DREAM is that the Flyers decide to go with a youth movement:
Strait for Timmonen.

Timmonen and Viz on the last pairing would be a disaster. Hard pass
