This might be the dumbest minor trade in NHL history. I still am in disbelief.
I saw Chia doing the interview on this saying last year they tried to trade for Manning so he asked mcDavid if he would be cool with it since manning was the one who hurt him..McDavid said yeah whatever..lol.,..pretty much how Chia said it, so they wanted this clown at least last year - obviously EDM were one of the "other" rumored teams interested in him for free agency...but Chicago got him...this is just so much fail for their GM, he is honestly, hands down the worst GM in the league. how you can trade off Seguin then Hall in your tenure as GM alone should get you canned...Apparently Chia had a Manning trade lined up a year or two ago and the coaching staff nixed it. Maybe he learned his lesson by leaving out specifics like the players name when running it by the coach.
That is a really nice tool.Capfriendly now lists all the trades/signings/drafts by GM's
Here's Chai
Peter Chiarelli - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
Such a cool tool to quickly look at a GM's history
@ThreeOfAPerfectPair at least you guys acquired @boxcar65 in the trade...they really care about edmonton and how your team does
It's not as bleak as you may think there boxcar ... Philly may even be buyers ( hockeybuzz I know! ) and I'm sure they will find success soon .. the Hawks will be fine and hey it won't hurt to land a top 7 pick again this year .. and mandog can always go and play in Europe .. he does after all have a good amount of money now to invest in his future happiness!I've pretty much giving up posting on that board or anywhere. First, between my job, helping with my elderly parents, and reffing high school basketball I am slammed these days. I barely have time to turn on the tv at night, much less watch a full hockey game. Manning is getting stiffed in Edmonton, so it is what it is. You don't trade for a guy and then let him ride the pine. He is still better than two or three of the other options they have on the team right now.
My Flyers are terrible, the Hawks are struggling, and Mandog is not playing. It has not been a great season so far. Hopefully the Phillies can land both of the free agents out there.

Which three Edm defensemen do you think Manning is better than?

Boxcar is harmless - brought a lot of laughs to this board. I have never seen someone latch on to such an obscure player before...still can't wrap my head around it...related or not lol.
yeah, i am sure the ManDog fan club starts and ends with the number 1...Boxcar...Has to be him or be related to him closely. A gf/fiance/wife maybe? No other explanation for the obsession.

I'm pretty certain Oilers fans don't share this opinion with you.Gravel, Petro, Benning
I'm pretty certain Oilers fans don't share this opinion with you.
Are we still celebrating this monumental accomplishment?
if you can still bitch about trades from 4 plus years ago, we can enjoy this one for a while..Are we still celebrating this monumental accomplishment?
To be fair, the fact that they have those four guys on their roster at all is a pretty telling story of the state of the Oilers currently.I'm pretty certain Oilers fans don't share this opinion with you.
