GDT: Around the NHL - Trade Deadline Day GDT

[BeauKnows19]

I'm not concerned. Our moves made our team better, and Bostons move made their team better. We got Iginla, and Morrow, and Murray. They got Jagr.

 

[Dying Alive]

Not worried about Jagr. He kinda killed us with Philly but there were extenuating circumstances there (namely the entire team losing their minds upon seeing the color orange). I don't remember him being especially scary when he was playing for the Rangers.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Whoooa!


That means that the Pens added Jagr too?

what!? That's Ray Shero's Music!

 

[JQR]

[IcedCapp]

No problem guys. I'm on the computer/iphone by necessity anyhow. And I love this time of year.

 

[plaidchuck]

Good move considering he'll probably have more energy for the playoffs due to the short season.

 

[IcedCapp]

what!? That's Ray Shero's Music!

BAH GAWD! NO NO No! Damn it all!

 

[Frederick Stanley]

oh man a Boston/Pitt match up would be ****ing awesome now

 

[On Vinyl]

BAH GAWD! NO NO No! Damn it all!

Ring the damn bell!

Again, Jagr deal _ for two prospects and a pick _ still pending trade call with league

Depends on the prospects, but they're probably paying the same price for Jagr as they would have for Iggy. And Iginla>Jagr

 

[Fire Shero*]

Damn I was hoping he'd be traded to Detroit. Lets hope they overpaid.

 

[plaidchuck]

Hopefully the Bruins fans can stop whining now. There look everybody got an old hall of famer we can all be friends again.

 

[Til the End of Time]

i will feel much better with murray matching up against jagr than ben lovejoy. that goal that jagr schooled lovejoy on... brutal...

 

[AquaticBirdman]

Anyone get the impression that Jagr is on some kind of mission to try and hurt the Pens?

 

[FakeKidPoker*]

hmm Jagr is a better player than Iginla at this point but I think Bruins may have overpaid

I dunno. I think Jagr is the bigger offensive threat right now. But I think Shero wanted more than a mercenary. And I'm not trying to insult JJ out of sour grapes or anything.

if that were true, why would he sign in Dallas in the first place?

Is Iginla better than Jagr? I think Iggy is more what we need. I think Jagr is probably more what they need.

 

[IcedCapp]

No

and still waiting for information on the pick/prospects in the Jagr trade. I hope they gave up the same deal they were offering for Iggy. That would be good.

That's debatable at best.

Kinda surprised they're announcing anything before the league call to finalize considering what happened the other night.

 

[PittPenguin]

Not sure if Jagr had a choice where he ended up. He didn't have a no trade clause.

 

[IcedCapp]

Hearing the trade call on Jagr could still be an hour away

Oh please, oh please, oh please, Ray "Steel Chair" Shero. Do it.

 

[Darth Vitale]

Jagr is a different sort of player than Iginla. Not much point in comparing them but Jags is probably more dangerous on the PP, less dangerous (than Iggy) everywhere else on this team. Also Shero has no interest in Jagr, so get that out of your head. We have no room for the guy anyway.

 

[BeauKnows19]

Is Iginla better than Jagr? I think Iggy is more what we need. I think Jagr is probably more what they need.

You're spot on there. Iggy fits our team better. I think he's still the better player but that's not worth arguing because it doesn't matter how good someone is if they don't fit on the team.

Wait until the ''My groin hurts...'' starts Boston... just wait..
