You may be quoted on that.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

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

I was fine with the trade at the time and still am.

Not really a loaded statement

No idea what would have happened had that deal not.
But probably safe to assume, Cory would have been just as over worked and faced as many shots, had he stayed.
Maybe more. Ouch.

Tampa close to a five year deal with Ondrej Palat reportedly worth 5.3 x 5 years.

Just two more flops from the Gillis regime. So who does that leave to help save some face?
Gaunce, Hutton, Rodin, Tanev, Subban, Labate, Biega, Cassels and Cederholm.

Brutal.

Say what you will, but back-to-back Presidents trophies are something to be proud of. The best team through 82 games.....It might not be the Stanley Cup.....but it ain't chump change.
Somewhere in NW BC trying (yet again) to trade a(nother) Swede…..

Perhaps I should elaborate on my point. I am not a Gillis hater per se, I'm merely pointing out how poor his record for drafting was. Bo aside, you could argue his signing of non-draftee's was more successful than his draft record as a whole.

No, I have no doubt former GMMG oversaw this cities greatest era in Canuck history.

I know this isn't really funny, nor perhaps really a story but Nolan Patrick is injured again and not skating. Problem, he has an infection, on his face! Perhaps an exploding zit? I dunno. Just thought it was funny. Aren't you glad we missed out on the chance to pick such an injury prone pussy. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Tartar signs 4 year, 5.3 M per, deal. He is 26 so this deal takes him to 30.
