Couldn't find the thread? This discussion can be found in basically every thread here.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

There's a whole lot of substance in this thread.

 

[Jet Walters]

But the pick he got from Philly was used to draft Rob Schremp, and he is almost a point per game player this year in the Swiss "A" League. We also got Jeff Woywitka, who was a throw in in the Pronger trade, who was trader for Lupul, who was traded for Pitkanen, who was traded for Cole, who was traded for O'Sullivan, who was bought out..........So I guess your right.

 

[ghostnights]

I think we will manage 4 points out of our next 4 games. A goalie will steal one.

 

[Muscles Glasses]

Well, this is the first i've heard of these developments. This is all new, ground breaking news and information.

 

[Mr Positive]

using hindsight criticism is not fair.

There is plenty of legit ways to criticize Klowe

edit: plus if you really look at what screwed up the deal, it was ownership, not Klowe. They wanted money in the deal. That doesn't help the GM

To be fair, I remember it really well, and nobody was 100% certain that Perry would be a dominant NHLer. I remember lots of pundits questioning his skating ability.

But, he was at the lead of the OHL scoring race, was a big, big boy, and was taken in the 1st round, albeit later on. Those are all pretty big up arrows. And a 1st to boot.

I remember thinking Woywitka, a 1st, and a 3rd was better than Perry and a 1st though.

Hindsight, it's not, but Woywitka was a 1st rounder who played an important role for Canada at the WJCs (where Perry didn't make it, if memory serves).

 

[Horseradish]

Worth mentioning...

The 10 year anniversary of the Comrie trade is in 5 days...

Christ that's scary. I remember, at the time, feeling like the Guerin trade had been so long ago...

Btw
Sather picked carson over luc. Should fly to ny and beat the crap out of him for that

Link?

 

[Jumptheshark]

Go google it

Slats after he got involved he was given the choice and he decided he needed a centet and not a slow winger

 

[Jumptheshark]

Also google why we got troy mallette for graves. Nyr found slats was going for leetch at arbitration and once they could not agree on compensation they lowballed slats knowing full well graves had done nothing to be worth a top dman. Look into the way the oilets got grier and joseph back in the day. That is a fun read

You google it.

I think youre just making it up.

Either that or youre just repeating nonsense.

I couldn't help but imagine the OP as Lloyd from this scene:

There are plenty of more recent and more relevant ways to criticize Lowe, but bringing up a decade old news is not one of them, IMO.

I remember thinking it was the most idiotic thing I had ever heard of turning down that deal just because he was trying to extort money from Comrie.

 

[CornKicker]

lol pay me a million and i will trade you

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Ah another Fire management thread. Such a new innovative idea.

Wasn't the word that the bonus thing came down from the EIG?

 

[Beerfish]

2 million.

#1 The organization was fully aware of all the bonus stuff before hand and could not get or did not get insurgence against it the 2nd year from what I hear.

#2 Only a totally hack stupid organization would ever attempt such a stunt.

#3 We never got any money for any trade.
