One of the LA beat reporters just tweeted that the Kings traded for Gaborik, but no details yet.

Interesting. I wonder what will happen when he inevitably gets hurt a week after acquiring him.

 

[NewYorkIsles]

The islanders are interested in Rene Borque, what do you guys think?

Pierre McGuire says Montreal isn't physical enough with their lack of size, so they should trade for...wait for it....Matt Moulson...lmao.

I just laughed so hard, the coffee I was drinking came out of my nose. Damn Moulson, another fine mess.

Why? Maybe swap Bailey? Underperformer with bad contract for an underperformer with a bad contract?

As long as it doesn't involve Vanek.


I'd do a bailey Borque swap.

Who said that?

Who said that?

If you have a twitter account check Arthur Staples RT

No interest. He's 32 years old and 3 years removed from strong production. Very inconsistent and another big guy who doesn't always use his size.

Well, now a bunch of other people are saying it's not done and may not be. I found Proteau's tweet on that matter funny: "I know one thing: Marian Gaborik sure is Darryl Sutter's kind of playahahahaha"

But remember who our GM is!

you just know we are gonna get screwed.....

Bourque is always injured every year. He is the Radek Martinek of forwards. Big body, when he uses it he is effective. Isn't always motivated. Wash unless he is not a good fit in the room. Then, pass.

 

[Paulinho]

Pretty much.

 

[BillD]

Oh yeah. Feelin' it. Grab your ankles and get ready.

Wait til Garf sticks with Vanek rather than execute his diminished and embarrassing return.

He will do it under the guise of trying to persuade Vanek to stay and the kool aid drinkers will find a way to be ok with it.

 

[nyisles]

Big pass on Bourque. Would rather watch Bailey failey his way around for a couple more years.

Supposedly the Rag$ are close to getting MSL EDIT: per McKenzie, could be Callahan and picks going the other way - guess the contract talks didn't get that much better after all.

Under no circumstances would I be OK with keeping Vanek. He does not want to be here so almost any return is better than keeping him for the next 20 or so games.

wow the rangers are giving up an awful lot of they pull the trigger here....i hope they do.....will be a short term thing like they used to do 10 years ago.....

callahan, 1st and 2nd for MSL......

Sounds like Moulson for Vanek

 

[nyisles]

They could give all that up and potentially not make the POs

Oh god, i can see the lame post already.

not too far off, just both players of higher caliber respectively....

It's a bad trade for both teams, but there's not much they can do especially with the way St. Louis was acting.

Conacher to Buffalo on waivers. Not surprised they gave Omark a shot why not Conacher
