    Yeah, I mean, he played an indifferent game or two with his next vacation in Sunny Isles on his mind, and then went out and groped some strippers at Chez Paree. Which of us would have done any differently? What the hell is wrong with that!

    I did not hear about the strippers, my gosh has the Pope been advised. That is trading grounds right there. Just look at the purse snatcher and what happened to him.

    I have said 100times, I don't want to see him traded; but, people who think he can bring back both a top d and centre are overestimating his value...and Mike is doing just fine.

     

    I did not say he was worth it, I said that is what I want. I want the other stuff you threw in but I have to be reasonable. :gohabsgo:

    Your silly!

    You want a 1st round pick, unlimited rounds of golf at Augusta, lifetime free beer and pizza in return as well?:B)

     

     

    We can skip the pizza. but the rest is all good. You obviously do not realize how good galchenyuk can be. Also you have to quit consulting with you uncle Michel.

  4. Ok the shock of the trade has worn off. They weren't going to protect him so ya gotta get something for him. Basically Mark had a gun to head and took the best option. Nate was always a little flakey but I really thought maybe he could get his head around this hockey thing. I don't believe the story about being in the truck with Kassian anymore than I believe Chelios s boinking t his name's wife.

    That's why it makes zero sense to trade him now.  I'd trade MaxPac before i'd trade Galchenyuk.  Given his numbers and his salary, we should be able to get a much bigger return for MaxPac.  That is also a change that would bring the big "culture change" that MB always seems to be harping about.

    We need offence, we should not be trading our top goal scorers. unless sid or malkin re coming back or ov.

    I'm not worried about Drouin walking out on the AHL team, it was all business. 

     

    1) He was at 38 GP when he was sent down.  He needed to play 40 games to get a year of service time which is a big deal in terms of when you can be a free agent and when you can be eligible for arbitration under the CBA.

    2) He was one of the most dangerous players on the lightning, he was getting minimal minutes but his pts/minute played was top 2 on the team. 

    3) They sent him to the AHL. 

    4) he reported, he played in the AHL, he was putting up points. They wouldn't recall him. 

     

    At that point it became clear tampa was jerking him around so he wouldn't get the 2 games played and the service time.  Basically what tampa was doing to him just for contract reasons, when he clearly earned his place in the NHL, wasn't right.  So if he wanted to ask for a trade and go home to get them to stop jerking him around... I'm fine with that. 

    interesting I did not know "the rest of the story" It definitely gives some clarity.

    Claude Julien was Montreal's coach when Mike Ribeiro flopped around on the ice like a soccer player who got breathed on, then was up skating his next regular shift.

     

    Boston under Julien was the league's worst embellishment/diving team, always crying foul at fake offenses by the other team, then claiming the other team was diving when they were spearing them in the nuts.

     

    I recognize he's a good coach, and so intellectually I was happy to see him replace Therien...but I so hope Montreal doesn't start pulling that same crap.

    Hey now don't forget we have CHaracter. ( I almost spilled my beer writing that)
