I don't believe a word coming out of his mouth.

I don't believe a word coming out of his mouth.

I do. We cancel each other out

Watched it on the simulcast this afternoon. I didn't believe it at first either until I saw Neely's face when he basically implied they definitely would have moved Loui if someone had come along with 1st+prospect. He looked lost as to why they couldn't get that value for him.

2-1 now. I'm with you.

He didn't hedge and gave a lot of information. If someone says they don't believe him then they are calling him a liar. It's not like he was insinuating anything -- pretty much answered every question with a definitive yes or no.

Here is the video of most of the interview - watch Cam's face

After hearing this I think there is zero chance he is re-signed.

What was it Chiarelli said (paraphrased): It's hard to make a deal! He was mocked relentlessly here for saying that.

If you look at how everything played out, it's believable they didn't get offered a first.

Considering they were in a playoff position, doubtful they had any interest in dealing him in conference unless they were blown away.

Next cross of the teams that made other moves and had other options as the day played out. Chicago, Anaheim, LA, Colorado.

Then subtract the teams like St. Louis who really didn't have the cap space without doing something else or sending money back like Shattenkirk.

Then subtract the teams that weren't on his list and he wasn't going to waive to. Bye bye Dallas.

So who was left? Minnesota, Nashville, and maybe Vancouver. With a demand this small, I'd say best they got offered was a 2nd and a prospect they weren't really keen on. Other GMs knew once their counterparts made moves they were out, and what teams were up against the cap.

Suck it Felger

Oddly enough I actually believe Cam, specially how the trade deadline played out league wide. I'm really curious what these guys do in the offseason now.
