Confirmed with Link: [MTL/NYI] Thomas Vanek & cond'l 5th for Sebastian Collberg & cond'l 2nd PART 2

[CupInSIX]

Not sure, I thought only the team that drafted the player could offer 8 years.

I just checked. You have to have the player for the entire season.

They're so ****ing pathetic.

That's ****ing awesome. Please mix this with the Cartman "eat your tears" gif!

We'll see how long this can keep away a ''fire bergevin'' thread away.

Garth Snow is my new favourite GM!

Maybe in the offseason we could trade DD, Bourque, and a 5th round pick for Tavares.

He'd probably do it if we held some salary back

Cheapest deadline prices I have ever seen.

Gaustad goes for a 1st and Vanek goes for a 2nd and prospect.

We could have landed Vanek pretty easily and instead let him go to Montreal. Brutal.


lol never saw it like that before

Someone on the tradeboard made a good point. Wang was probably to cheap to retain some of Vanek's salary to make him more desirable, which probably drove the price down.

A marginal point because you're only taking on a quarter of the salary. Teams that Cap tight shouldn't try to trade at the deadline.

If we actually are able to sign Vanek, the only defence that we'll need against spastic Bergevin haters is one simple word...

"Vanek".

Thats true.

I think that'll be my next avatar.

Crazy he went so cheap. Still somewhat shocking.

His poor Olympic showing seemed to take a toll on his rep.

cheapest 2 day of deals in many many many many years,,,and Leafs say

Leafs general manager Dave Nonis says cost of deadline day deals not worth it

The single best part is that we did not compromised anything serious about our future.

Collberg wasn't developping to our taste. Otherwise, we kept Tinordi. Eller. Beaulieu. Galchenyuk. Ghetto. De La Rose. McCarron. HOLY CRAP

 

[Redux91]

reading that bruins thread was like WOW

they are literally scared ****less of vanek LOL

Nonis, who said he made plenty of calls to test the waters, said the asking ... Nonis said either the price was too high

Hard not to smile

...ah, good stuff...glad they're worried...

By the way, guys. I asked Sabres fans earlier this year what they thought of Vanek, and his downsides. I asked this when we started to drool about him back in December.

It's a bit hilarious to read in hindsight. But still informative.

Sup guys, grats on landing Vanek, we're supposed to be rivals but I like you guys a lot.

If you guys meet the Bruins in the playoffs rest assured you have the ultimate Bruin killer, the guy just goes off against them.

We hope to see you in our scope. without MSL, I actually believe we could get through the Bolts.

I especially await Wednesday

I guess it pays to not waste your cap space on David Clarkson

Heard the same about McDonaugh

Hopefully Collberg doesn't come back to bite us.

Timmins was very against trading McDonaugh. I am 100% certain that Bergevin would have heard his opinion before considering trading him.

If he does, Vanek can take him.
