Confirmed with Link: [DAL/ANA] Devin Shore for Andrew Cogliano

[Satan]

This trade is a nonsense concerning $$$
Cogliano could add sth in the locker room but i would have preferred to resign a Rous for Cogliano's contract...

Roussel sucks

 

[DangeRouss]

ahah he is way better than 70% of our players and our locker room is missing player like him
and I watch all vancouver games.

GMGM let him go to pay Shore and give Comeau a contract
Everybody here sayin' his role can be filled by one of them
I never bought this

total points are not all in player stats and fans often forget it

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

I love Roussel, but I don’t miss his dumb penalties. He’s averaging over 2 penalty minutes per game right now. Putting your team short handed once per game is hurting more than it helps.

I put some thought into it and I think I was a bit too harsh on Roussel. He takes too many penalties for my liking but in reconsideration I would rather have Roussel than Comeau

I'd rather have neither.

Roussel also lost his identity after Ruff left.

Garbutt - Eakin - Roussel was one of the best depth lines in the NHL at their peak, but that was because Ruff knew exactly how to utilize them.

I'd rather have neither.

For sure, especially at 3M for Roussel and 2.4M for Comeau.

I personally believe, a team like the Stars could and should be frugal with who they give contracts to. Come September and early October I think you can get depth for free ($50k or whatever) through the waivers.

Nill let him go to not give him 4 years, which was pretty universally praised at the time as the right decision.

That line may be the most under-appreciated lines of the Jim Nill era. They were so fast and surprisingly had a penalty differential of -1.

Garbutt completely fell off though and later Eakin

Not sure I agree- Eakin put up 40 points in 2014-15 and Garbutt isn't a player you lean on to score 15+ goals a year. I would love to have a 3rd/4th line play that effective for the Stars in 2019.

shore poked for rakell assist :\

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

Looks like a typical Devin Shore move. His puck dribbles never reached a Stars stick, though, because we don't drive the net in droves.

How has Cogliano been for you guys? I bet if the Ducks still had him they wouldnt have quit on the coach like they did.

He's been decent. Not really an offensive threat ( neither was Shore when he was traded ) but he plays hard and is noticeable every game. Feel a bit bad for Shore on the mess that the Ducks currently are but it was a good trade.

Weird take but okay

He skates faster while not scoring, which is a kind of improvement.

Just putting Cogliano on Spezzas line made that line put up very solid defensive numbers.

Simply put: Not what this team needed, but obviously what we could manage.

I mean for a minor piece it was a decent upgrade from Devin Shore. I do think a Cogliano type player was what the lower lines need/needed . Its just not the primary need.

Sure. It was an upgrade. Not a big one, but it helped. Same way Gurianov and Hintz playing have been an upgrade in terms of overall team speed, but not a major upgrade because the speed isn't leading to goal horns.

Yeah but if you can't find a deal to do something major and something minor comes up you should still do the minor deal even if it doesn't adress your primary issues.

I'm happy with the trade. Don't get me wrong.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Probably not the player we needed, but I hated Shore so I was happy to see him go. He’s fast and helps move the puck from the defencive zone to the offensive zone so I’m happy with him.
