[Bgav]

You guys gonna stay up or wake for the deadline?

Stay up need to be awake for all those 2 am deals.

Get some rest wake up at around 8 am pst that's likely when the first deals will get done

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Someone missing from the bench? Forward?

Gillis suiting up in the locker room.

Ya very rarely does anything happen early. Usually nothing until the last couple hours. Some years, recently, soooo boring.

 

[nameless1]

There is no point.
Trade deadline shows are always boring...
And I feel really sorry for the people who had to continue to talk...
Even if there is nothing to report on.

I may even wait until 1pm tomorrow...
Before I check on the trades.

 

[CoveRat]

Id be surprised if anything happened before 9am.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Richardson out of the game...

 

[GranvilleIsland]

Richardson out of the game...

Injured?

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Injured?

Didn't see him get hurt last period... Hasn't been at the bench in the 2nd... ?

Not sure why'd we trade him has a good contract unless some team overpays we don't really need the late picks for him unless were gonna sell off big pieces too and full on rebuild... Which we should at this point.

Meh. If you can get a 4th or better pick for him, I don't think it hurts anything. Matthias can provide as good or better play. Worst-case scenario you make your pick better as a by-product.

Agreed. Matthias is a better version of him, and Richardson's defensive play hasn't been great lately anyway.

Apparently Jeremy Morin vanished from the Hawk's bench too... (Ice Hogs game)

EDIT: NM He returned.

 

[TARS]

If Kesler gets traded, Gillis will probably wait until the last possible second so that he doesn't get flipped to a division rival the same day.

That would be the smart thing to do anyway. You never know what backdoor deals other GMs may have.

True, then again the way this team is being run who knows what the **** is happening anymore.

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

If Richardson is getting traded it's probably for a 3rd/4th or a 4C.

Remember how late he was with the Hodgson trade? It came out half an hour after the deadline.

 

[LiquidSnake]

Gillis' beard summarizes this season well.

 

[fancouver]

Richardson for a pick

And Canucks use that pick to trade to another team for the Kesler deal.

 

[MikeK]

LOL... was that not terrible? He thinks it covers up his double chin but it only highlights it. Fugly

 

[polarbearcub]

I saw richardson limping after the first down the tunnel

Was the weight of being traded too much to bare?

 

[mfzero]

Can we wait till the draft or free-agency before picking up a goal scorer, don't want to some how score 3 goals and actually win a game to ruin our draft position.

Can't move positions very much. Nucks will be between 6th-10th pretty much no matter what.
