Please not for a lot... please not for a lot... please not for a lot...

Elliotte Friedman ‏@FriedgeHNIC now
DET sending two prospects and a second for Cole and a third.

 

[Hammettf2b]

I'm hearing picks going both ways, plus prosprects from Det

 

[KJoe88]

Thank goodness it's a reasonable foward.

Please don't be over-payment.

Edit: oh, god...

 

[Shadywing19]

I hope we got a Jim nill discount and not a Steve Yzerman generosity payment.

Guessing bye bye Ferraro and backman?

DAL gets pick back if DET gets to third round and Cole plays 50 per cent of the games.

 

[SoupGuru]

Where would he fit into our lineup?

 

[Shaman464]

This could be bad... this has Kenny panic move overpayment written all over it.

Not a fan of giving up a 2nd rounder for Cole, we have drafted really well in the 2nd round last few years.

Waiting to see what prospects are involved, but don't think this was necessary at all.

Damnit Helm, do you have to keep getting hurt right before the deadline????

 

[The Geelee]

pls no overpayment

 

[drw02]

Ugh already way too much...unless those prospects are C level guys

 

[Shaman464]

Mattias Backman so far.

 

[Brandel*]

Good player

2 prospects and a drop from 2nd round to 3rd. We don't get a 3rd if we make it to ECF.

Backman &?

 

[Jurco]

pls no overpayment pls no overpayment

Meh, Holland will just trade our 1st for a 2nd rounder during the draft.

 

[Shaman464]

Cole is a 36 year old Abdelkader. This has **** move written all over it.

 

[Shadywing19]

Backman

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Not a fan of him, with the second involved though getting a third back which given where Dallas will finish is what a 15 to 20 pick swing, plus I am expecting two cast off prospects.

Will lose my mind if Tvrdon is going in this. One of my favorites for one of my least favorite players in the league would be bad news.

By the way Khan is hilarious basically breaking this a night in advance. Cole appeared out of nowhere and now the deal is done.

Big forward with speed, though he is right-handed he likes to play his off-wing which should be interesting, though I might have just screwed that up and he is a lefty that prefers the right. Honestly cannot stand the guy since the last lockout.

 

[rx7dryver]

Cole is a serviceable player but do we really need another 3rd line/2nd line capable winger?

 

[ap3x]

Can you really overpay for that guy?

 

[Vladdy84]

If we could get Helm and Mule back before the playoffs..

Lineup could be pretty sick.

I hope he wouldn't trade a 1st for just a 2nd lol

 

[SoupGuru]

He'll be 6th on our team in scoring.
