Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Claypool]

Good. That guy is awful.

 

[SoupNazi]

Well, there goes St. Louis's chances of the playoffs.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

traded for absolutely nothing

 

[Heaton]

traded for absolutely nothing

About what they got for Iginla.

 

[SoupNazi]

Hopefully now we won't see the "Bouwmeester to Detroit" trade proposals anymore.

Thank God.

 

[JmanWingsFan]

traded for absolutely nothing

That first rounder was sure something. But yes, this wasn't much.

 

[Laser Rayzor]

Feaster....

There are no words

 

[PullHard]

Praise which ever God you believe in, Bouw is not coming to Detroit!

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Don't get why people think he was worth much more. Iginla too.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

About what they got for Iginla.

exactly what smart hockey fans have posted on hf boards, the dumb fans always go around saying the price will be "too steep"

jaybo was traded for exactly what KH gave up for Kyle freakin quincey

KH may actually be worse then feaster

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

That first rounder was sure something. But yes, this wasn't much.

it was umm, the price we gave to get Quincey...

hmmmm quincey or jaybo?

 

[CloneHakanPlease*]

Thank god.

hmmmm quincey or jaybo?

We get it, please don't keep spamming the same thing over and over.

Really? KH gave up two prospects?

KH traded his franchise player for nothing?

I know you've got some irrational love for Bouwmeester but let's be serious: Holland is in a higher stratosphere than Feaster. In no sane person's world would it be said that Feaster is a better GM than Holland.

 

[rx7dryver]

Good. That guy is awful.

Maybe, but he is probably better than any red wings' defender.

 

[Avery Rule]

Now I am just waiting to see Detroit get either Vanek or Myers come Wednesday.

Neither of those two prospects are even top ten in Blues system. The same system that is in the bottom five of the league. I wouldn't mind if we gave two nothing prospects and a first for Bouwmeester, this just makes that first for Quincey last year even worse if anything.

 

[PullHard]

Knew Z4C would be in here trolling around this thread.

Look no further than his playoff track record, or what former NHLer Mike Peca has to say about him.

The guy isn't a winner. Simple.

At these prices I'll take both

hahaha I know man

it just boogles my mind how we are simply unable, KH, to make impactful smart trades

as for irrational love, no. i am just smart enough to know that the cost was not going to be very steep and yet his impact would have been pretty solid for years to come and now comparing the exact return its even more glarring how inept we are when it comes to trading

its frusturating

mike peca really?

the playoff track record is such a lame arguement, yah jaybo was 100% responsible as he is the only guy on the team

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

it was umm, the price we gave to get Quincey...

hmmmm quincey or jaybo?

He is also amply compensated to be just a little better at being mediocre than Quincey.

 

[Claypool]

Maybe, but he is probably better than any red wings' defender.

Well, if you're making $6.5 million he'd better be.
