Gillis: "We didn't get Clowe due to personal reasons."

Also said they wanted Torres

Personal or Personnel?

 

[Negatively Positive]

Gabby handled the move to CBJ with a ton of class and sounded legit excited to be a part of their future. Classy. Reverse Jeff Carter.

I'd be excited too. I have more confidence in the new CBJ GM turning the franchise around than sticking around with Sather. Watch CBJ take the 8th seed and J-Bouw curse continue.

Tomato tomotto.

Elsewhere Gillis said he felt that Clowe and his girlfriend wanted to be closer to home, so NY made more sense.

So DWs goal this offseason was to screw over Vancouver?

DW is basically a gangster. He never forgets when he's been wronged.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

So the Habs and Jets make no moves....interesting.

But it isn't a 2nd.

Seriously, it is the 61st pick in the draft, at best. What are the chances of that pick becoming a 200-game-NHL player? Even with the Sharks's solid draft history post first-round, it is probably less than 25%.

Look at the difference between a 2nd & 3rd on this chart (and remember it's a very high 3rd round pick). Not quite 200 games, but these are guys with at least 160 games played.

I really wish he had just kept the picks he traded away today.

Kurz is even late posting about the Wilson press conf.

 

[Brent Burns]

Matching that against what Clowe said, sounds like Clowe wanted out of the West and into new scenery where he can play against teams not used to playing against him. Should help his totals on the year and land a bigger contract in the off season. East media bias

 

[WTFetus]

Asking a GM "Are you happy with the deal" has to be the dumbest question.

No, I'm unhappy with a trade I just did...

Closer to home, doesn't have to beat up his friends. That sounds much better.

That sounds like a Kurz question.

Well, that's bigger RT @GMillerTSN Min/Buf trade: Sabres send Pominville, 4th in '14 to Wild for Larsson, Hackett a 1st in '13, a 2nd in '14

Wow, great return for the Sabres. I love Pomminville as a player, but this is even more than they got for Burns. Think the Wild lose.

Well he still has a chance to beat up Douglas

Wow, that's a great return. People saying we should have gotten Pominville, we had no chance.

EDIT: Good on Minnesota too. They have enough good prospects to do without a couple of picks.

Yeah, we had no chance in hell of that happening. Hackett and Larsson are both A prospects, a first, and a 2nd. Wow.

That is a big price.

So Poms got the biggest return of any other player at the deadline, including Iginla. Wow.

I like Poms but that is a steep price.

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

This potential "mystery" trade involving the Capitals has me very intrigued.

Wild won the trade though.
