Might be, might not. We don't know, anyway Hornqvist isn't that great and we don't know what else would've come with him. Speculation, the fact is we pulled the trigger quickly and got a meh return. Paul is looking good but Chiasson is meh, I understand Dallas is in a win now mode so they paid more but I don't know, that's just me but I think CGY did damn fine for an average dmen

I'm assuming (possibly incorrectly) that Dallas was interested in both, and Hamhuis would have accepted a move to a strong team in Dallas. If Dallas went for Russell at that price, and my assumptions are correct, it means they either placed more value in Russell, or he would have cost more to close the deal.

I was wrong...the worst is NOT behind us.
I'm old and grumpy and I don't like it, but yes, I know. I do wish this team wasn't among the "most".
try, sure absolutely, I agree, but Lazar offensively has not shown he's there yet.

I think lately he has been picking it up on offense. I don't really like his hands but I think if you try him with Stone and Smith he could be good. Why not?
Anyway in regards to what I've been saying on Spezza/Russell, not a fan of looking at the past it was just an observation. I think CGY did damn good there.

Pirri for a 6th round pick? What the **** Murray
So we were all over Drouin, but can't spare a 6th for a better young LW?

Pretty much ,so instead of waiving him .we offer him a two way deal and see if he can crack the lineup next season

Do tell. Are you counting his "pursuit" of Drouin? Or his "active shopping" or Weircoich and Prince? Or that he has "fielded" calls on Smith? Surely to gawd we're not including the "blockbuster" AHL trade?
Results. Matter.

A lot of the time on deadline day, trades happen quickly.
3/4ers of the league might have not even known Pirri would be available that cheaply.

Maybe he's referring to one of the biggest trades in the NHL this year in the Phaneuf deal?
The going after Drouin the trying to move Wier/Prince just because there is no deal does not mean he is not trying.
I think our deal for Drouin was more suited ,to one that will be revisited on draft day

I honestly can't believe the Panthers just traded a player that's 0.5PPG this season, and score 20 goals last year for a 6th rounder. What the hell is going on, they just traded a 3rd for Purcell FFS.
That makes just no sense.
And at that price I have to think GM's we're not aware that he was available for such a low return. I mean why not trade Prince for him and give him a shot?? or Wiercioch? or a pick...
Last year the Despres for Lovejoy and this year Pirri for a 6th.
