New Dogs in the Pack; Coyotes acquire Phaneuf, prospects from Leafs
Staal get's no love on these boards.
EDIT: Though I think Rask put that deal over the top.
Did you use lube?
Ok, so Tampa had to pull out. Now we need a new GM.
TRADE TO ANNOUNCE
To :
Andrew Ebbett
To :
Steven Stamkos
I swear we made a deal before he dropped out. YOU CAN EVEN LOG INTO MY ACCOUNT AND LOOK AT MY PMS, I SWEAR
Why would you trade Ebbett?
Yeah I realize I paid a hefty price to create the first sibling trio since the Stastnys, and only the fourth in NHL history.
But I do think Jordan will more than make up for what Jeff Skinner brought to the team, and Marc will bolster their blueline. I'm also confident in Hagelin, he showed what he's capable of in the playoffs....just need to tone down those cheap shots, that's all.
I think MZA will be the wild card here. If he never returns to the NHL irl, then sure it was a wasted effort.
But I think he can contribute long-term to my make-believe Hurricanes.
Oh, and here's a list of recent notable 4th rounders:
Marcus Foligno
Braden Holtby
Alec Martinez
James Reimer
Keith Yandle
Ryan Callahan
Just to name a few. Who KNOWS what goldmine lies in that mystery pick!
Ok. We're going to try to squeeze this game in. Trade Deadline is going to be at 8:00 PM EST on Friday, Voting will be Saturday, and Draft will be Sunday. Might announce the agents on Monday (Christmas Eve) but not have anyone sign until sometime next Wednesday. Hope this works for everyone.
Why not push the draft until Wednesday too?
Last game after the draft, a lot of the bottom/bubble teams lost interest when it came time for free agency. If we hold the draft on Sunday, then I don't see them coming back after Christmas to sign free agents.
Because we can't. TP is gone after Christmas. Draft is on Sunday. If people aren't active during FA, that's their problem.
