GDT: Trade deadline: 4/3 noon PT

[magic school bus]

I would not want his 3 mil cap hit next year

Carolina ate some of his cap hit and we get 2 free compliance buyouts this summer. No reason not to pursue that option over Torres for a high 3rd.

 

[Mafoofoo]

This is such a waste of a season. Can't end soon enough.

You'll be singing a different tune once Torres wins the Conne Smythe.

Why would ANY team want Torres?

Haha, ok but you have to include his response.

Paul Bissonnette ‏@BizNasty2point0 1m
Because he plays hard, good teammate, playoff experience, players hate playing against him and he's a good player @Chr_stinaMarie.

He'll probably be better at being Burish than Burish. Except for the whole being stuck with him for 3 more years thing.

Brodie Brazil ‏@brodiebrazilCSN 49s #sjsharks fans: Like Torres or not, would you rather play with him or against him in the postseason?


Sums up my feelings. I ****ing hate Torres, but it's done and I Cheer for the Logo.

After digesting, this is how I tried to justify it.

And yes, always root for the logo. I'd gladly take Pronger of old or Perry on this team.

Id rather he die in an oil rig fire. Is that an option?

 

[allworldcaucasn*]

The name in the back isn't as important as the name on the front, blahblah.

I'll withhold judgement until I see how he plays with us. He seems like less of a homicidal maniac this year.

Well, the problem is now that's he's on our team, you WANT him to be a homicidal maniac

 

[rideaucrusher21]

worst deadline day ever

 

[Jargon]

This is such a waste of a season. Can't end soon enough.

We dropped three dead weight players, are set with picks for a great draft, and, when all's said and done, have a team that, if they play to potential and get some luck, can do an okay run in the playoffs.

This year is far more fun than last year.

 

[one2gamble]

so let me get this straight, you need scoring depth, you say you wont trade picks for rentals. Then you trade for Raffi Torres and Scott Hannan for picks.

 

[hockeyball]

I cheer for the Sharks, but I will boo Torres, I don't care if he has a teal sweater on. When he inevitably cheapshots someone in the playoffs and embarrasses our team I hope it gets Wilson fired. Also, if by some miracle we did win the cup it would always have an asterisk for me now.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Well, you will look like an idiot then. Seriously, I am fairly certain that not one person in the Sharks dressing room has any type of animosity towards Torres. Fans are crazy.

Exactly.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Yeah, just saw that.

 

[WestCoast]

Ever since the Michalek hit he has been my least favorite professional athlete, and the numerous cheap intent to injure hit's he dishes out are ridiculous, I love the Sharks, but this dude sucks way too much.

 

[TealTownUSA]

tsb took the torres headline down REAL fast...LOL

that's true, but i don't think they needed another defensive minded forward and the pens did give up a second. Thats also three mill that they need to spend to buyout Havlat and Burish.

 

[West Coast Bias*]

thats why ive refused to go to a game this year! woohoo for me!

...i'll show up IF they get past the 2nd round

You're a hero.

My goodness, some of you are really embarrassing yourselves.

 

[OrrNumber4]

Oh boy, I do not want to see Vaasa's response. I'm sure he was ready to hang DW for tradin gthe 7th, never mind the 3rd.

 

[Plowevelski]

Never forget.

 

[rideaucrusher21]

Clowe for a 2nd, Torres, Conditional 2nd.

 

[Alwalys]

So I'm in the rationalization phase now.

Raffi has done so much TO us in the past, now it's time for him to pay us back by doing stuff FOR us!!!! If he can separate the best opposing player's shoulder in every series, **** yah!

 

[Jargon]

There's something amusing about our fans freaking out and wishing Raffi to die in a fire because he's such a violent player.

Step away from the bridge, guys. An asterisk if we win the cup with him? Come on.

 

[Mafoofoo]

Thornton will fix this. He'll take Torres out before he can put on a teal sweater. He has to.

 

[halfeze13]

dwil is playing you all for fools. he is stocking up for the future, and making "big-name trades" this year so the fans don't stop coming to games

I wont lie, the Sharks do need to get a bit more dirty in the playoffs. The problem is, Torres has a huge target on his back from the officials because hes a dirtball. All hes going to do is put the sharks on a pk.
