Prust is the gift that keeps on giving
Only when he opens his mouth or thinksBrandon Prust is an idiot.
The fact that we traded for this garbage hockey player, and even shittier human being is a joke.
And we did it in a trade where added a draft pick to a guy that we wanted to get rid of asap instead of helping him with his addiction issues.
Pathetic...
they also cited his good character and how he’d be a good influence on the young players, if I’m not mistaken.
That's not fair . . .even if, like my wife, you never watched hockey, only reality tv, you'd still already know (as she did) that you were adding toxic human garbage
This means that only Edler and Tanev are left playing hockey anywhere in the world off the 2011 team.
And Shirokov and Sauve, but they only played a couple games and weren't anywhere near the playoff roster.

The Hodgson Kassian trade was the WRONG move by management. Really needed that depth scoring in the 2012 playoffs against the KingsHarsh sign of how fast time passes by. I remember being devastated after 2011, but thought maybe this team would have at least 2 more cracks at the cup in the following seasons. Hansen, Raymond, Schneider, and Kesler were under 26. Hodgson was coming in. How wrong I was.
Hodgson was out of the league by age 28
Schneider was destroyed by injuries
Raymond was done after the back injury
Bieksa and Burrows saw a significant drop in play after 2012

It was a bit weird how that trade went down IIRC. Gillis was targeting Kassian and 2 rumored other players, one was Kyle Clifford. And there was talk that GMs around the league were miffed that they weren't even made aware that Hodgson was on the market. Always a what-if as to who we could have landed for him...The Hodgson Kassian trade was the WRONG move by management. Really needed that depth scoring in the 2012 playoffs against the Kings

If I recall correctly the list was something like Clifford, John Carlson, Brandon Sutter, and I think Erik Gudbranson. (And Kassian of course.)

There are two wait-and-sees in Schneider and Bolduc. They both played last year but it's realistic that neither play professionally this year.
