What the hell would a Ryan discount on this trade be? We give up Karlsson for nothing and pay his salary?

 

[The Lewler]

Darren Dreger is legitimately not good at his job.

 

[Sensung]

Please add this Ken Cambell article to the OP.


The gloves are off!

It’s time for Eugene Melnyk to go. Sell the team to the guy who owns Cirque de Soliel. For that matter, sell it to the kid who runs the House of Cheese in the Byward Market. Neither of them can possibly do any worse or give their fans less hope than Melnyk has over the past 15 months.

Here's a great rant from Sid:



This happened before the trade.

 

[Sensung]

Here's a great rant from Sid:



This happened before the trade.

Especially because they ended up doing precisely what he predicted by trading Karlsson.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Here's a great rant from Sid:



This happened before the trade.

Despite my negative feelings towards Boro, Sid makes a valid point

 

[Engineer]

ok

 

[solidprospect]

Boro does anything to help this team win, not melnyk or dorion

 

[Fandlauer]

 

[NyQuil]

I'm not quite on board with Ian Mendes on this one.

Again, it's about asset management for me more than anything else.

I certainly miss certain players but hockey is still a business and very few players retire on the teams that drafted them.
