GHT120

I think teams wanted to trade up ... but offered nowhere near what was rumoured.

If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

No ... and I am appropriately ashamed 🙄

Merci

But we will not know WHAT they were willing to offer. And who is the Sand Covered Pelican?

we will never know anything but rumours ... some perhaps more reliable than others but still rumours.

If it eventually happens, will Gary remember how to say "I have a trade to announce". EDIT: If Trotz wants to make a "big move" he was three picks by other teams to make an impact trade.

With Mitchkov gone, call the Caps for #8?

Who knows what the offers actually were.

SIX teams pass on Michkov now ... if Philly does there is something we don't know.

Will there be a trade of any sort soon, Habs or not.

Only needs to be the new Larry.

There was a lot of talk that I heard/read that Arizona liked him.

Hughes says they finalized the decision to pick Reinbacher this morning (assuming the top 4 went as expected I assume) and that their scouts have been high on him all year.

They do what THEY think is right ... in a couple of years it will either work out or they will be gone.

That was cringe worthy.

Carey's last act as a Hab?

Time to call time out? Do they still have those?

Ovie and Poutine are tight ... doubt he cares about Michkov breaking what will eventually be his good buddy's record.

For Ovie (i.e., if drafted by Washington) I would almost expect so ... for anyone else, not so sure

Carlsson ... Not a Michkov surprise, but a small surprise

I'd be shocked if this was not pre-planned ... I don't see Davidson walking around dressed like that this week.

5 offers? Could be a fun night

Balanced by Hughes knowing those guys better than other GMs ... it's his neck on the line, I think he is smart enough to not let his heart rule his brain. I agree

Mysterious slide ... or ... TRADE
