Confirmed with Link: Eric Staal to NYR for two 2nd round picks + Saarela.

[jniklast]

So does this work cap-wise or did Carolina retain salary?

 

[we want cup]

I would be OK with this.

 

[OverTheCap]

More win now moves which in all likelihood won't result in a cup. At what point does it end?

 

[17futurecap]

Gordie Clark can now take a nap until round 3 of the draft.

 

[Raspewtin]

Why do we LOVE trading slam dunk picks? WHY?

 

[Cassano]

If we don't win the cup, tear it all down

Yup.

Hell, go in for Hamhuis as well at this point.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

It's like we don't learn our lessons. Its like they just want to sell playoff tickets. They don't care about winning the cup. We can't keep giving away picks for expensive has-beens. Not only that its been 5 years since we had a first round pick. We need to be getting those not old players that are finished.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I'm still here. Can someone please make sure Pavel Buchnevich is ok?

That was a steep trade. Smh.

Its okay, really just so ****ing frustrating. Rookie GM got owned, who else is giving up that for Eric ****ing Staal? We gave up just as much for Staal as Chicago did for Ladd

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Staal is a good player who can turn it around here. But Saarela is going to be really good.

 

[JohnC]

Overpay to have the Caps PP pwn this team's awful PK for a 2nd round exit? Sounds awesome!

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Just go ahead and burn my nipples. That's how this torture feels.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

failure. There is no reason to go after Staal. This is a bad deal. More high picks being given up, this time for a rental. And also a great pick. Absolutely shameful from the organization.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

What years are the 2nds in?

What else are they gonna do?

Why is Glass still here?

Not happy about this in the slightest.

 

[DaBadGuy7]

Another prospect gone for a non-elite player, typical

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

It's taken 28 years but I finally understand that I hate this entire organization

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

**** you Gorton you ****ing idiot.

 

[The Gloaming]

I can see Jeff Gorton is just more of the same **** we've seen from the Rangers in forever.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Now get Yandle off the ****ing team and get back a top prospect that you just traded away for nothing you ****ing idiot GM

 

[NernieBichols]

Why do we LOVE trading slam dunk picks? WHY?

so now this is gonna be what your on? the kid is a slam dunk pick already?

 

[TurgePurge*]

Sather is the president of the team. This isn't a Gorton solo show lol. That's like saying shanny is hands off

 

[Cassano]

Two 2nds and Saarela are probably more valuable than a 1st.

 

[NewLife]

Better win that ****ing cup.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Saarela is great.

The only problem that I saw with taking him is that he didnt seem to fit that Gorton big banger philosophy.

He is also 2-2.5 years away from contributing.

2nd and Saarella and that would have been fine.

 

[Raspewtin]

Really love throwing away high picks and a great prospect to lose in the 2nd round!!!WOOHOOOOO

 

[Inferno]

A team with five centers on the roster decides to fix the team by adding a center.......and it's six if u count miller
