GDT: Trade Deadline 2015

[Calculon]

Yes! Not coming to Calgary.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

More playoff games for Olli!

That's a lot of Big Macs.

 

[1989]

Wilson talking about tanking must be the Ducks in 94/95

I disagree, it's probably the Capitals. Wilson mentioned the team in question reaching the Conference finals. Beech busted.

When he was coaching a former team, wouldn't say which one, they were struck by a ton of injuries; 5 or 6 key guys down. GM then told him to start losing games, which he actually found harder to do than trying to win as he couldn't tell the players (especially the goalie) to lose. After wins, he'd get chewed out by the GM.

They ended up getting the player they wanted, but he ended up being a bust and said GM told Wilson, 'kick me where the sun don't shine if I ever ask you to lose on purpose again.'

Proves what most people acknowledge; management can and will tank but the players won't.

Thanks for the recap!

Good on Toronto for helping Jokinen find his way into what could be his last playoff series of his career.

I remember when we first acquired Jokinen years ago...sad times

LOL at O-doggy poking at his own career. "She(career after 2 40 goal seasons) went down from there"

I highly doubt they were doing in the interest of Jokinen.

I highly doubt they were doing in the interest of Jokinen.

They could have traded him to a team in wildcard contention as opposed to a guaranteed playoff team.

Just saying.

Neuvirth apparently found by watching TV eating sushi with teammates.

Awesome news on Jokinen, I hope they go all the way (to the WCF to lose against the Flames).

Also **** off Tim Murray. I hope a team like OTT or NJD wins the lottery and Eichel completely busts.

Really boring trade deadline... as expected.

But lots of big trades before!

His family (especially his little girl) must be ecstatic after hearing this news!
