Speculation: The Official Horrible Trade Proposals Thread: Part 2, Have a Drink

[Lempo]

Beautiful stir-up job in the Drai thread at EDM board, btw.

I'm so not going to go and sort it out for them.

It was a wind-up mainly, but also a possible explanation to this picture which I can't find myself online. I would guess this "1 h ago" pic is from the event where Jussi Jokinen All-Star team apparently/possibly plays in Oilers colors. You can also see Leo Komarov peeking there in the background.

The event was advertised as the triumphant return of the Puljujarvi-Laine-Aho line so I would assume they saw that it happened too. In yesterday's Karpat vs. Liiga Alumni game Laine was on the other team so it couldn't be done there. "See PuLa-Aho line together again!"

edit: yeah, confirmed. There's a video of the anthem singing on Facebook; Jokinens are in Oilers jerseys.

That Stig fella creeps me out.

I'm sorry but Stig's awesome.

I really liked the first one...thanks.

 

[SaskCanesFan]

There's only one Stig.

Some say, that I would link a picture if I was smart enough to do so on my phone

Some say when you see "some say", your mind automatically switches... to Jeremy Clarkson's voice.

He's not doing so good

 

[MinJaBen]

Agreed...

 

[Svechhammer]

He's not doing so good

He was released from the hospital over the weekend and I think he's doing much better. Apparently did some internet browsing on twitter, too.

Hanifin is regressing.

Hanifin is regressing.

Not just regressing, regressing badly.

If you can't see it, you must not be watching him play.

 

[CandyCanes]

Who's buying the round of shots for that comment?

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

don't worry guys.. i cleared up the misunderstanding in that thread

 

[Wolfpuck]

If we kill Hanifin, would that make his value go up or down? He's only going to continue to get worse, so we may as well cut our losses right now.

 

[RodTheBawd]

Pretty sure those takes are in the running for best of the offseason. We should have a "best of trade board" thread that we vote on before the season starts.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

There's always a couple of guys like that in pretty much every thread. Keyboard tough guys who think the more brash and abrasive they are, the more valid their points will be.

I do agree that given that Hanifin is less proven, the Canes would have to add in a deal like that. Problem with that though, is as soon as a defenseman DOES become proven, they are almost untouchable.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

The other thing to consider is that draft had a 1 and a 2, then three threes. No 4 or 5. And at the end of the day, i think all three teams got the guy that they wanted.

 

[DaveG]

Except for Arizona. Because Matthews was just a few days too young and they didn't try to pull a Florida with Ovechkin on it.

Points? Who needs to make points?

I can't decide if I like this new guy with his repetitive "like it or not" or the "deal with it" dude from a few months ago better.

Yeah, I was debating about what word to use there but was being nice.

 

[Moosetache]

When I first saw it I laughed. But now that I think about it Draisaitl still hasn't signed. What if he's truly demanding the moon and Aho and someone else is actually getting traded to the Oilers for Drai but the paperwork isn't all done, thus no mentions of it. Please don't tell me that a trade is brewing.

Um, how big is that guys mouth? he could easily eat a puck whole.

He looks like he could play the joker in the next batman movie.

Yes. Kill him and sell his body to science. Maybe some top me can determine why the guy peaked at 18 and has been going downhill ever since.

I'd be a fan of this
