That trade was awful for the Canucks, I don't understand what in the hell they're doing

its called a fire sale..

everyones gotta GOOO !!!!

It wasn't a fleecing like most are saying, but it was a win for Pittsburgh. If only for the simple fact that Bonino/Sutter is a slight win for Pittsburgh (or as close as you can get to a wash with players of those caliber) on paper yet they got a depth call-up, cap space, and a slight pick upgrade along with it. So Pittsburgh won, but didn't really win a lot.

Edit: I'm also still not afraid of Pittsburgh at all since it's still the same coach and core from last year, Rutherford is still a bad GM historically, Crosby/Malkin are aging, Letang is always injured, and even when healthy there's a few teams in the East at least just as scary but a lot more well-rounded. Let alone the West. Plus, as has been pointed out, that D is atrocious especially if Letang or Maatta go down again.

The new NHL is based on having an elite defense and pittsburgh doesn't have it.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

The ****? When did Lamoriello go to the Leafs?

 

[Sombastate]

Is Maatta for sure going to be ready next year?

Ready as in fully recovered from offseason surgery...

I think it what he meant.

 

[Sombastate]

Correct. Didn't he miss the end of the year due to cancer?

He had shoulder surgery in the beginning of the year I think and yea obviously had that cancer taken care of.

Johansson got 3.75 awarded by the arbitrator.

 

[Stizzle]

The Leaf fans are beyond obnoxious and ruin HF. The Prospect forum is an unreadable pile of **** because of them.

So Doc Emmerick was the Flyers play by play guy late 80s early 90s? I nevet knew that. I remember he came to my school when I was a kid and he was the Devils announcer and I guess I never knew he was our guy.

That is odd because hes a Devils fan so its odd he just began rooting for a team later on in his career.
