We also got a first (Cossa) and a second (Buchelnikov) so I still say we won that deal.
Waived: Vrana
- Thread starter Detroit Knights
- Start date
Especially considering the replacement value player who played those games instead of Vrana and yeah we still win that trade easily.
I feel for Vrana. But I don't think he'll be in the league again. Awfully tempted to go bump his that trade thread where dozens of posters called Yzerman an idiot for giving him away for so little.

1G 2A since Xmas, and he's logging less than 10 minutes per game now. Bustina.
The only question now is if he goes to the AHL or Europe. I can see a GM signing him to a 2 way contract to be an injury callup like Czarnik and ZAR. Czarnik makes $450k, which is pretty good for the AHL.
Bustina is only 24 years old....

The big trade thread on him is closed. Sadly Canucks fans get to rag on the Hronek trade for a year but somehow that one got closed

If we’re using Canuck fans as our moral example, we’re in trouble
Mad that he was so hot for us when not injured until i whatever sent him into the Player Assistance Programme, but since has been a dead weight bar a few games when he first arrived in STL. Still one of the best natural finishers I've seen on the wings in the last 15-20 years, but it looks like he's done at this level

Just in time for our next overpaid marginal 2C candidate signing after Suter, Copp and Compher. My money is on Wennberg or Roslovic, doubt we pony up the term for Lindholm (thankfully). Whomever signs him will regret it very quickly.

Suter was a no risk gamble at a time where taking risks was a good thing.
Compher has been solid and is earning his pay.
So that leaves Copp. Just Copp.

And Copp may be overpaid but it's not like it's crippling the team. He's the 2nd best faceoff guy, the Wings top PK forward, and is a decent-two way center. People rail against him because of his lack of production but the Wings are 5th in the league in Goals For. Scoring has not been the problem.
To me Holl is the worst roster signing this season. Maybe he'll turn it around next season like chiarot did but it seems unlikely.

The bolded comment is something for which I agree. Holl is Horrible or is it Hollible? If that guy were waived, he'd clear.

Compher is playing well yeah but I just don’t see him as a 2C on a team that wants to compete for Cups.
The Zetterberg Era
Ball Hockey Sucks
He is second on the Caps in goals and has been on a few trade boards. He has actually had a decent contract year, my guess is with him 50% retained he brings back at least a second when the Caps do move on from him at the end of the month.

yeah but he has been on a few trade board for the past 3 years. washington has said they've tried to trade him with retention and no one takes him. At least vrana had suitors that were willing to take it on...no one wants to touch mantha vs trading for vrana.
At this point, more teams would want mantha over vrana if a gun is to the head but that just doesn't seem likely.

Both Mantha and Bert had problems, but since Zetterberg quits we have not had better line Than Mantha Larkin Bert

This team isn't competing for Cups yet. Ideally Danielson or Kasper (or whoever they're traded for) will be the 2C when they're ready to compete for Cups.

My guess is 2-3 seasons from now , but for now we should have some playoffs experience

I think both payers would clear waivers. Holl is def worse on a AAV basis, but Copp has one more year on his contract after Holl leaves.
If neither were signed the team would be able to afford Hanifin or Lindholm, lol.
Compher is not Malkin. Haha
One of Danielson or Kasper need to be a legit playmaker, or we'll need to trade a pillar defenceman, or continue to roll with even but slightly above average depth throughout the lineup.
Seems like the expansion teams have done well picking a team of 2/3 line players. Haha.
