[Jee]

Yes, move on.

 

[BLONG7]

Gotta trust the scouts...of course this is the same crew that took Balej in the Kovalev deal...

 

[Sterling Archer]

Dagger to the heart.

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

It's summer. Go enjoy a cold beer outside.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Still feel like the Rangers should've been the ones throwing in prospects for us taking Gomez's contract...

Isn't this month old news ?

 

[habsprospects]

Enough of this, McDonagh's threads should be banned.

Well, what other material are people suppose to cut their wrist and pleasure themselves to simultaneously?

I'm sure they can find a way to go do it on the main board.

They can go do it on the main board.

I think they brought it back here because people on the main board couldn't handle their weird fetish, so they decided to come back and be amongst people who are "similar" to them.

I'm with you, though. I'm sick of that and how we missed out on Giroux and crap like that.

 

[JLP]

We should have suspected something with Mike Busto in the deal.

Yeah, McDonagh must have zapped his powers. A strong name like Michael Busto gives no indication that he will be a... bad hockey player.

 

[CH25]

Who cares.... Does it matter ? Does it change the fact that Gainey traded him ?

 

[overlords]

I'm not sure why this is a thing. There's a reason GM's employ scouts.

 

[OldCraig71]

Just to think what we would be with Mcdonagh and Subban.

Missing out on Giroux doesn't bother me. You miss out on players at the draft, that happens all the time. Giving away first round picks to help another team though ? We had a really good player and gave him up for nothing. That's different, and I understand why people can't let it go.

This is a thread because...?

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Who cares?

If he said "I scouted him thoroughly and I thought he was a 1st round pick, just like he was drafted as"

Okay...

Really makes no dif. His scouts liked him and he wanted to get rid of Gomez. He would've taken Fischer to get rid of Gomez.

More likely, he didn't even bother to consult with his scouts and simply pulled the trigger on ANY kind of decent return for Gomez who was a negative value asset that he wanted to get rid of anyway in order to have the cap room to sign Gaborik.

 

[Wats]

Clearly, neither did Gainey/Gauthier. Timmins was visibly pissed when RDS asked him about trade though which was interesting.

 

[Runner77]

Mods, can you please close this? Who cares what Sather thinks.

 

[Scintillating10]

Probably why Sather made trade...he need seen this clip. McDonagh has come along ways since this infamous moment.

[hockeyfan2k11]

That's why GMs hire scouts. Makes me hate Gauthier even more.

 

[missthenet]

That's why GMs hire scouts. Makes me hate Gauthier even more.

Could be worse for us we lost a very young promising prospect but look at Sathers track record:

Gomez, Redden, Rosivwal, Holik, Gaborik, Richards, Drury and I am sure there are some I have missed and now that waived Richards they will sign their next flop for big money.
