I won't really care if we lose Mayo on waivers too, but at the same time he was solid and quietly effective last season. Don't think we should really throw that away after a couple months. He was also a longstanding player in Tucson so he's done a lot for the organization. Timmins really never did anything.

but...didn't we beat them back in Octooooooohhhhhh...I see what you did now...
I knew this was coming. It's Toronto.
I mean he's obviously the favorite now for the Norris. This goes without saying.
Was not happy about this move when we didn't it and now I'm more disappointed. Happy Timmins is getting a shot though. Let's see how he pans out through 20 games now.

I understand what you are saying, but we had time to let him play and see what kind of player he is. There was no hurry to trade him, especially for the kind of player we got in return. BA has to do better than that in future trades. BA has been patient, except this deal.
I would have handled things differently myself. That being said Timmins was not super great during his conditioning stint with a -10 in 6 games and 3 points. He didn't justify a roster spot and the organization (and it's not just on BA here it's their own scouts/coaches) who felt he needed further development time in the AHL and given his waiver status there was zero chance that could occur with AZ. It's similar to how we acquired Valimaki. We ran out of runway and had to make a tough decision. Timmins can move the puck. He always could. in Toronto he will put up points with that forward group. Edmonton should be watching this situation and putting two and two together on what difference a better D corps could do for their group of AHL forwards and the best 2 players in the game.
I understand, but play him and see what he can bring. Our D is terrible, will be much more terrible in a few months. I thought it was a dumb move, but what do I know.
Nothing. But I don't think BA valued him appropriately in this trade. Obviously other NHL GM's were interested. Other GM's were willing to give the dice roll. COL was PISSED they had to move him plus a 1st.
I wouldn't have even minded if we moved him without giving him more looks, but I hated that BA valued him at the level of a career AHL'er who may have some upside because he's big. If we got a 3rd for him I'd be fine with it. If we got Nick Robertson for him I would have been happy. I feel like Timmins should have been value around those types of pieces from his pedigree alone, let alone the fact that a desperate GM was the one who got him for nothing.
Maybe BA was making it up to Dubas after really screwing him over with goalies last season haha

Maybe.
I'm glad Timmins is flourishing. I wish it was in kachina.
I'd like to see Bill be a little more greedy and a little less generous.
Oh there’s been some bad plays to by Timmins. Let’s not anoint him the Norris just yet.
