Thomas Vanek Part IV

[bluechipbonzo]

I don't think using LaFontaine is a good example considering what happened in Buffalo. One time is a fluke, two times is a pattern.

three times if you count his period with the rags (hah)

TV going to Pens IMO...kesler deal would have happened by now

ooook less than 10 minutes...

TSN ripping Snow and the Islanders apart right now.

I can't wait until Vanek doesn't get traded and Snow doesn't get fired because Wang doesn't care.

What happened in Buffalo was that the LaFontaine as the head of hockey operations was cut out of the loop by the team president and the GM that LaFontaine just hired when the Miller trade went down. Buffalo's mess rests with the owner.

As for what happened with in 2006, LaFontaine saw what happen with Neil Smith being replaced by the team's back-up goalie and realized that Chairman Wang's crack hockey committee wasn't going to suceed and after 8 years the Isles are still a lottery pick team.

I say Pat LaFontaine knows FUBAR when he see it and wants no part it.

Your description makes Lafontaine sound like a baby. He didn't get his candy, so he stormed off.

Trades still being called in to NHL offices. I believe a Vanek deal will be one of them.


hopefully, but I doubt it. If Vanek remains an Islander, Snow MUST be fired.

I delight in Gillis completely running Vancouver into the ground, but I feel real bad for ya'll. You deserve a lot better. Completely inexcusable if Vanek hasn't moved.

 

[And You Feel Shame]

Out. Of. My. Mind.

 

[5 Minute Major]

Well, you can all step in off the ledge right now.

 

[RR10*]

Vanek has been traded.

 

[strife]

TSN is saying Vanek has been traded. Still waiting on where and for what

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

Since Vanek has been traded, take it to Kevin's new thread:
