Hextall fired in Philly. Goaltending is their nemesis. Too bad weez didn’t have a well stocked cupboard in tenders, the Flyers have some decent D prospects like - Phillip Myers

Tenders are at a premium once again, lots of Have teams with goaltending issues

They gave up two 1st rounders for Schmaltz, it's a risk for both sides imo, maybe Strome busts, but it's only his what 2nd NHL season? ish, I think he could surprise, that's the gamble anyways, perlini is a nice piece imo, big strong LW could score 20+.

Philly making changes from the top, strangelove's philly tough guy fave Hextall is now avail ha, well I knew sl liked Clarke.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Strome is such a terrible skater even the sloth Dal Colle would skate circles around him, not to mention that Strome couldn’t make a play to save his life, everytime he gets the puck in the O-zone he will telegraph low percentage shots every time, he’d dumber than a sack of hammers

The trade is garbage for garbage

I’d ride shotgun with you on this Udle but Olli can skate. Strome on his skates looks like a fawn fresh out of her Ma’s womb

Yup, other than Parent, Hackstall himself, and Pelle Lindbergh (RIP).

Hexy wasn't as talented as Parent, but he was more fun to watch in my opinion.

Biggest goaltending asshole of all time! :blush:

As a GM, well not so great...

Man, Carolina is a bit of a goaltending graveyard. Eddie Lack, Scott Darling, guess they should have kept Cam Ward.

Surprising that eh wot, especially considering the Canes are supposed to have this deeeeep defense, enough to trade for help up front.

But I really want Zykov, now there's a claim the Canucks should make, heck even trade Leipsic for him.

Remember how mad Blob was when Jimbro traded Eddie Lack for a 3rd and a 7th? I think he was as mad at that trade as the one Jimbro made for Granlund.

Wasn’t really that mad about it. Thought he could have gotten more for Lack but he didn’t. The Shinkaruk trade was a fifth liner for a fourth liner. Yay massive win!!

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.
