[opendoor]

Glad to see it finally worked out for him. Probably for the best for everyone involved assuming the return isn't horrific.

Kind of changes the outlook on the Schneider trade though.

Huh, I thought he'd be going to Florida after the season was done. Oh well, it was a crazy ride Lu. I'll never forget you.

Does Y2K know yet?

 

[John Bender*]

Y2K, we have had our ups and downs, but I feel for you. No sarcasm. Honest.

 

[shipwreck]

Yes, I wonder what the Canucks get on the trade

 

[Tiranis]

Holy moley. What are we getting back?????

Any return on this deal is a ****ing blessing, TBH. If we actually get a prospect or a useful player, even better.

 

[Diamonddog01]

Yes. ****ing rights.
