[Shoalzie]

Confirmed


I continue to work on getting younger and accumulate better prospects as well as load up on picks for 2011's draft. I'm dangerously close to the salary floor after moving Kovalev's large salary and getting the modest contract of Bickell in return. Yes, I continue to drop down the ladder of the league but as of a couple weeks ago, I looked at my team and looked at the best of the best and the distance was far too great and to just simply compete for 8th place and get housed in the first round isn't that rewarding. I'm warming up to the idea of rebuilding. With guys like Kovalev and Knuble...the contending teams are going to get far better use out of them in what could be their last if not second to last year than I would as a middle of the road team.

Whose 7th?

[Shoalzie]

Toronto's

[kyuss]

how exactly the Sens get fucked here?

[shooker]

I was trying to figure that out as well. Should be wings get fucked

[Shoalzie]

Maybe Bill was just trying to be nice...I've got a '74-75 Capitals-esque record in trades.

[Shep]

Why is everybody so insecure and puts that they got fucked, just to get others to say "no way man, good trade."

If you got fucked, you'll hear it.

you really think that when Scott puts that BS in the title of his trade-threads it's out of insecurity? lol

Wrong word. But my point stands.

DET got some nice pieces here.

bickell specifically will have a pretty big role in CHI this season.

quite a bold prediction

quite a bold prediction

by that i mean compared to his role in previous years. he seems to have a bottom six role locked up and will stick this year rather than bounce up and down.

sigh.

I'd take Devante Smith Pelley alone over that pkg Shiv...Good deal for Detroit, he has made some moronic moves in the past, and I wasn't a fan of the Brian Campbell deal, but there is nothing wrong with the deal he made above, in fact I would have done the same.

There seems to be conflicting opinions on what linemates he'll have...projections have been all over the board.

I agree, I feel I gave a nice package for an aging veteren but have improved my active lineup quite a bit, kinda funny Roman Ondrej is in both deals.

[Shoalzie]

Yeah, I've got a history of taking back a previously traded player (see Brian Gionta)

Comparing the deal I made with Shiv and this deal...yeah, I think I came out a bit ahead. Yea me!
