i'm a big fan of yips. colborne is buried in BOS. and i couldve used some help this year. but that does not mean i don't see where you're coming from.

[bills09]

Talk about buried

Just tell me where you see him fitting

Galiardi Stastny Stewart
Flash Duchene Hejduk
Winnik O'Reilly Jones
Yip/Dupuis/Porter/McCloed/Mauldin

and that doesnt even include if Mueller ever comes back.

I think what Billy is trying to say is that you lost this deal.

your analysis makes complete sense. everything you said i did consider before making the deal. if i saw this trade made by two other parties id side with the team receiving colborne as well. but even though value wise i lost it was the right deal for my team at this time. i could be wrong though.

Colborne is no less buried than Yip, who is atleast in the NHL, and producing.

[armandtanzarian]

With the departure of Ryder, wheeler, etc. Boston may lok to bring up a few more guys and Colborne should be at the top of the list along with Caron. I want a Caron, Seguin, Colborne line next season.

[Robin Hood]

i just dont think colorado is done making moves. yip will get 12-15 minutes of ice time regardless of what happens imo. and for the next few weeks with all these injuries he will get a lot more.

[bills09]

9:36 mins of ice tonite.

i thinkn something happened. either coach sending a message or just my luck he got injured lol.

[Nick]

Wheeler can come join the leafs. Bang, spot for Colborne.

[hong57]

shiv wins coz he got some picks he can use for trades again lol









but tony wins

I'll echo this take...Colborne appears to be a horse in the making. Yeah, Shiv got a solid return but Tony gets the best piece in the deal and continues to add to his growing group of young players. Shiv does have a rumplestiltskin-like way of turning a pile of straw into gold so you can't say he screwed up until you see what he does next. I'm sure he knows what he's doing.

[The BBKL Insider]

I fail to see how this is a bad trade for Shiv?

adding depth for any playoff team is important
