Added a pick to take Flyer's trash, wonderful

Suck it haters

 

[SweYote]

This seems like a dumb trade to get a very mediocre defenseman.

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

Looks like Tippett still has a job and Don is still trying to keep him happy. Moss is coming back at this rate.

 

[mouser]

I don't care that he isn't going to ever suit up, I still hate Pronger.

 

[Grimes]

Why do we need to add a pick....

Grossman should be a solid add though.

 

[XX]

I don't get why Don is adding

Grossmann is worthless
Pronger is worthless

Gagner can be disappeared for 500k.

Why did he add?

 

[mouser]

Grossman is a decent warm body on D. No issue with picking him up for the mid round draft pick.

 

[LuckyNumber11]

Always hated Pronger, still do

Grossmann is worthless
Pronger is worthless

Gagner can be disappeared for 500k.

Why did he add?

Pronger's salary is $500k. So basically a wash with Gagner.

I see the trade as a pick for Grossman.

Yeah, we'll erect a bronze statue of him at GRA any minute now.

 

[Grimes]

Grossman should be able to teach Dahlbeck and Murphy how to play in front of the net. He is only 30. To me this was backup plan to McQuaid. Would have much rather had McQuaid but this will do. Need a top RHD and move out one of Gormely/Moore for a center.

 

[Jormungandr]

Grossmann is a pylon

I wonder if they will try to run the team @48 million or whatever the floor is minus Pronger's hit.

Grossman is a decent warm body on D. No issue with picking him up for the mid round draft pick.

He's much worse than a discombobulated Klesla, someone who got ran out of town.

Here's where the rub lies: Grossman is a LHD. Goodbye Gormley. I apologize for the stupidity of DT.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

this is ****ing horrid

I don't mind giving up the 4th for Grossman, fine. But Gagner wasn't that terrible to let Philly off the hook w/the Pronger contract.

pure crap.

Well, this better pave the way for additional trades, because as I see it, Grossman replaces Moore.

OEL/?
Dahlbeck/Stone
Grossman/Murphy

Available for trade: Gormley/Moore/Campbell

Common stuff said on the main board now is "Tank for Matthews" and "Cap Circumventing".

Love pronger. He's the type of player you hate to play against, but love to have on your team. Will he work for the Yotes front office?

It's a paper transaction strictly for the cap hit.

We will never have a skilled team, as long as Tip is still holding the helm.

I hope people here realize that now.

 

[jacobhockey13]

We're going to be lambasted for this. I'm not too happy about it personally. Toronto and Florida did it though I guess.

Actually not a bad idea.

I would actually love the deal if Pronger can play some games. Too bad his mellon is just been through the crusher a few too many times. He would still be a force to be reckoned with, and solidify our 2nd pairing.
