GDT: 2013 Caps Trade Deadline Thread II (Forsberg for Erat & Latta)

[vippe]

I'm dying inside

 

[SimplySensational]

You guys demanded a trade. You guys got one...

 

[msrulo]

Michael Latta who?

 

[CapsWolverinesUSA]

 

[EroCaps]

Seriously?

I mean, what?

Haha.

 

[Carlzner]

You've got to be ****ing kidding me god ****ing dammit.

 

[Marshall]

Do not like this deal.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

You have got to be ****ing kidding me.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Sigh.

Trading our 3rd most valuable future for a middling 31 year old top-6 winger. Brilliance.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

My hatred for GMGM just got worse. I can't believe we gave away Forsberg for this crap.

 

[Koized]

I use to be a huge GMGM supporter, that was a terrible trade, he should be fired.

 

[HSHS]

Forsberg for Erat and Latta.

Horrible. It stinks of ownership panic towards potentially missing playoff revenue.

Exactly.... Can't wait to lose Ribs for nothing as well!

 

[TheFountainhead]

I ****ing loathe McPhee.

 

[yay]

Well, he made a big deal, loosened his hold on prospects and took a gamble to to try and put this team into the playoffs.

All the whiners happy?

 

[VaporTrail]

I bet the media has to be so pissed they were called to hear this

 

[brs03]

Erat is better than his statline but no. Just no.

 

[Hivemind]

Trading Forsberg for Erat warrants GMGM being fired on the spot.

If that's the trade straight up, I don't like it. But it's hardly the worst value ever. There have been prospects who looked far better than Forsberg who couldn't do anything in the NHL, and Erat is a consistent 50 pt, two-way left handed winger. He fills a pretty big need for the team.

Latta brings beef

Looks like he brings a bit of crazy too

 

[usiel]

Yeah this one is completely puzzling.

 

[tycoonheart]

Our old GM fleeces our current GM. This is absolutely ridiculous.

 

[RandyHolt]

Did George say he was doing a hockey trade or nothing

All lies

 

[Capitlols]

And if you thought GMGM's reign couldn't get worse.

 

[vippe]

Erat is a decent player... He's NOT worth of Filip Forsberg. He's been money this spring... Dear lord I'm exploding

Kinda agree with this.

 

[strungout]

Bawahahaha!
