Rumor: Trade Deadline

[Danko]

oh boy





Our Lord and Savior is returning, spread the good news:

Chuckles thinks he can strike hold on misfit Toys....how could this possibly go wrong

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

oh boy

Makes sense.

The work week is Monday-Friday so Chuck was off for the weekend.

He probably doesn’t even know they got clown pounded.

 

[Young Sandwich]

I'm absolutely giddy with anticipation to see how Chuck further mangles the team this week. Put away the shovels Chuckie, it's time to bust out the excavator and dig a serious hole.

Strange that Weekes tagged TSN and not the NHL's national broadcast partner in Canada, Sportsnet.

Doesn't Disney, at least partially, own TSN?

Weekes works for ESPN

Edit: NHL Network also and judging by his bio on Twitter works for TSN too.

I look forward to a certain someone writing 14 paragraphs in the future about why it's okay when the Flyers absolutely bungle a future trade because TB made this awful one.

LOL.......great one!

The idea of betting an asset on Tortorella being the cure for Vitali Kravtsov is endlessly entertaining.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Chuck is ready for this, guys!

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

It really is going to be the deal.

 

[SnS]

I’m not gonna scroll back through every post. But I really don’t have an issue with the Tanner trade to TBL. Little overpayment. Sure. But… at the same time I still think it’s fine for both sides.

If the reclamation project comes with a good pick or two, so be it, but if said reclamation project is the main piece coming back in any trade, then jesus christ.

ohhhh it will be..

the broken toy is always the prize round here

Greenway really is the Chuck special.

It's not just the Minnesota link. It's the idea of getting an attribute without a care for the total package. He's a very good forechecker. Unfortunately, he does almost everything else so poorly that it doesn't matter. And he's somehow got 2x3 left after this year, so we've even got the shitting up the cap aspect at play.

Does Disney partially own TSN? There's definitely an affiliation between TSN and ESPN that pre-dates Disney, but Disney could have bought in.

Bell Media owns TSN, but I don't know if it's 100%.

When you put it like that, I'll be pleasantly surprised if we don't end up trading for Greenway. Fully expect this to happen now.

A brief look that very well may be incorrect is that Disney through ESPN owns 20% of TSN.

If there is one team that has interest for TDA and is willing to trade for him, Fletcher should immediately accept that deal and move that piece of shit human & hockey player.

 

[GKJ]

I’ll take Greenway, but that costs them more, not us. That’s a 2nd round pick to take that on. Unless they take another salary back.

Greenway and 2 2nds for JVR.

 

[Beef Invictus]

We’re getting Jordan Greenway.

This is the dumbest team in the league

It is Chuck to be fair.

Interest is TDA, 2 2nds and 50 % retention for futures.

They are putting everything into the idea that Torts is the king of coaches.

I could have understood this ignorant and naive delusion in the summer. But we've got months of experience that should be dispelling the myth of Tortorella as a coaching deity, the last bastion of Real Hockey (tm).
