You're saying you would have thought that last season?
Yeah
but I'm not going to disagree that he is more frustrating
expectations are lower with Higgins

WoW, so many Booth haters. Im shocked.
Im not sure there's another guy on the team who will drive the net like him other than maybe Kes.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a move with Raymond coming (value's at an all time high maybe)...But don't laugh at me lol, Im just a lil gal who plays favorites. lol :*)
I could see it. I could also see Schroeder getting traded in time. Gillis seems to have a penchant for buying low and selling high. It certainly upsets fans, as this market falls in love with players after a handful of good games, and hates them after one bad one.
People always say stuff like this but it only happens when the player doesn't fit. What is the evidence of this anyways?I could see it. I could also see Schroeder getting traded in time.

Only the Hodgson trade could be characterized as that and that's debatable. The Ballard and Booth trades couldn't be.
The Booth trade is as buy low as it gets.
Ehrhoff, Higgins and Lapierre should qualify too. MG loves the bargain bin.
Definitely a lot of buy low type moves but would is there any other sell high moves other than the Hodgson trade?

Ballard in the offseason?
Booth is one of the few 'crash and bash' while 'driving to the net' players we have. His speedy and reckless. He opens up ice for his teammates and is fearless in standing in front of the net. Why on earth would MG trade him away?
I don't see why any of the players need to be traded. Look at the nuck injury history in the playoffs. We need as many able bodied players that we can get.
No. Selling high works in stocks but trading good hockey players that are playing well is counter productive to what we're trying to do here. Gillis went about inflating Hodgson's value when he decided the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. In general I think you get guys you like and keep them when they do well.
I completely agree and believe the reason we don't see more of this in hockey compared to baseball is twofold. Gillis isn't operating with as tight of a budget as Billy Beane and hockey GM's value locker room chemistry more than a baseball GM does.

I can't look at that contract and agree with you.
2nd liners get paid 3.5-4.5m per. It's just the way it is.
