Confirmed with Link: Skinner traded to Buffalo for 2nd, 3rd, 6th, and prospect

[AD Skinner]

Cole was born 15 years after JFK's assassination.

The perfect alibi.

Waddell himself has confirmed that Skinner didn’t veto any trades.

Semantics. He didn't have to "veto" anything; he had a NMC. He had to *approve* any trade. "Would you approve a trade to L.A.?" "No." This does not constitute a veto; it's a lack of approval.

 

[Doohickie]

In all three scenarios, the Hurricanes are positioned for potential moves that could add an impact player.

 

[Doohickie]

And that's his right when he has an NMC (damn you Rutherford) excluding all but 5 teams. My guess is that list probably looked something like Buffalo, Toronto, Ottawa (3 teams closest to home), Pittsburgh (awww hell naw) and who the hell knows on #5... probably Detroit or Washington (similarly hell naw on the Caps).

Detroit's about as far away from TO as Ottawa is.

Again, it’s not semantics because Cole very clearly said there were offers on the table that Skinner vetoed. Either he misspoke, he misunderstood, or he misrepresented. Pick your favorite. All three are a bad thing for an official team representative who’s on WRAL talking about the trade/contract status of a current player.

Semantics. There were offers on the table that Skinner failed to waive his NMC for. Cole referred to it as a veto. It was simply failure to respond.

Time travel...duh

 

[Doohickie]

Yeah, duh.

Do you know something we don’t? Cole was very straightforward in what he said.

If you invite your friend to dinner and they don’t respond, you don’t go around telling people that your friend nixed your plans.

*glances suspiciously at Elias Lindholm*

So does that make Skinner someone who exclusively plays games in the bullet hell genre?

You can tell it's the doldrums of summer. Almost 3 pages of analyzing a statement by Erik Cole.

Whew, at least it wasn't Erik Cole....or Eric Stall.

Edit:....forgot the "I'm a penis" emoji.

No need for it. It's always assumed.

You know, sometimes its just not worth searching for an appropriate meme on a work computer... this should have been one of those times.... oops

I know I always do....and am never disappointed.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Erik Cole's Click It or Ticket commercial was by far the best.

Taught 10-year-old me that if I ride the zamboni without a seatbelt, I get free tickets!

Faulk for a 3rd round pick and a cap dump.

Solid trade if the cap dump is Derek Ryan

6th, 7th, and Hossa's annual cap hit

I resemble that remark.

I forgot that this team is boring even when they do something.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

This is boring.


Move to Quebec or something.

STOP THAT

Don't worry, he meant Houston.

Houstôn, Quebec.
