I did it again. I didnt look to see who I was quoting. And really I shouldn't have to.DON'T TALK TO MEEE!!!
I will spell it out.
It's asinine to compare Neal and Wilson this season when the latter hasn't "contributed" anything this year solely because he hasn't been permitted to play. His haters will argue that such an eventuality should have been part of the contract considerations but that dives into the deep calculus of the discussion we've been having in the TW thread about double standards and mixed signals from the league.
It's a cheap dig by someone who has been banging that drum for a while, and it has nothing to do with the topic.
Wilson gets signed to a contract that 98% of the hockey world thinks is too much, immediately does something stupid and gets suspended for 20 games.
Criticizing this makes you a "hater. Yeah, ok.
Don't like it for Pittsburgh, not convinced that Pearson is a good fit for that system.
Every trade Pittsburgh makes is a good one until proven otherwise.
Per game stats each of the last 5 years are very similar to Burakovsky's and I wouldn't want either for 3x$3.75M. I would be way more open to trading Bura for Hagelin with retained salary (that part was crazy) than Pearson.Surprised the shine on Pearson has worn off so quickly. He was viewed as young keeper just a couple seasons back. I guess that's what a 1 point in 17 game stretch will do for you, even after seasons of 36, 44, and 40 points.
They hated him before and they hate him after the big contract. So what?
Shrek is out here hitting people in their heads and doesn't even get a call. Willy should sue these suits for discrimination or something. Impractical business dealings.
As a Caps fan I am glad hagelin is gone out west. He’s been a pain to play against with the rangers and pens. I think pens just got worse, definitely lost that speed.
Not gonna argue re. Pearson, but Hagelin is turning himself into Rico FataPearson is his generation's Matt Pettinger.
I'd have kept Hags.
Huge pass on an aging Hagelin.
To re-sign of course not, to go on a Cup run with 100% yes.
meh....he's all go and no show...
For free....maybe. At a cost to acquire....huge pass.
