The best team just got so much better that when I thought about the Habs potentially facing the Caps in the Eastern Conference finals I peed a little. Quote
dlbalr Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 That's a nice return for Washington. Sanford's a quality youngster and two decent picks. That said, the 2nd in 2018 is a bit odd...the Habs have that pick, not Washington. Quote

Really? Caps will implode in the playoffs like they always do. Every year. And we'll all blame Overchkin. Quote
JoeLassister Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 it's not on NHL.com, but the Blues have to retain a bit of salary, don't they ? Quote

Commandant Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 39% salary retained. Blues get Brad Malone as well Also the Capitals don't own a 2018 second rounder (Habs own it)... they have to acquire a 2018 2nd before the draft, or give the Blues a 2nd plus another pick in 2019. The Caps get Pheonix Copley (they had him before, they traded him as part of the Oshie deal). Quote

TheDriveFor25 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Washington will be bounced in the first or second round.. they always run into a hot team. Pittsburgh is still the team to beat, in my opinion. Quote
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 17 hours ago, Commandant said: Dorion got fleeced by a guy who does his scouting on youtube I wonder how much Marc Crawford's influence played a role? Crawford was the coach who gave Burrows a career. He also seems prone to being disastrously loyal to players that he liked in the past, as with the Cloutier debacle in LA. I've noticed that hockey people often seem to be naive about the aging process, tending to assume that players who impressed them a few years ago must still be the same guy they were back then. So it wouldn't surprise me at all if Crow still thinks Burrows is the guy he once knew, rather than a washed-up has-been, and influenced the Sens to give him that idiotic contract extension. Quote

Who knows, maybe YouTube scouting is standard practice. Honestly, my guess would be this. The scouts watch players at various levels. The GM relies on their reports, for the most part. YouTube and other video 'evidence' come into play when scouts are trying to demonstrate a player's merits and demerits to a GM. 'Here's an example of the kind of thing he can do...' In that sense, Benning's reference may have been no more than an honest admission of how the scout/GM relationship actually works. Quote

dlbalr Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 Patrick Sharp has been playing through a nagging injury. Suddenly, my interest in him as a trade target has dropped. Quote

dlbalr Posted March 1, 2017 Author Posted March 1, 2017 Johnny Oduya goes back to Chicago for Mark McNeill and a conditional 4th (could become a 3rd). Dallas also retains half the salary. Quote
Trizzak Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Jannik "Honey Badger" Hansen traded to San Jose. No word on the return yet, but based on nicknames alone, SJ wins. Quote
Commandant Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Goldobin and a conditional fourth is the Hansen return. (4th becomes 1st if Sharks win cup). Who kidnapped Benning and replaced him with a good GM? Quote
Machine of Loving Grace Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 I honestly think there's so much pressure for GMs to make trades that Benning is just getting lucky because he has bodies to offer. That said him winning that Burrows deal was 100% Dorion with his, "All the boys were high fiving me" claim. Quote

Who kidnapped Benning and replaced him with a good GM? Yeah, I'm in shock. Maybe he made an important discovery last year that not trading a SINGLE expiring contract is a stupid idea when your team is hopelessly out of the playoffs. Quote
