it almost seems destined to happen at this point

God dammit CBJ you gave Francis his first real trade W

And how the **** was Calgary not in on that trade

But man **** Vegas for lowering trade value stocks lul

I thought it was a fake account too lol, though Laine is better than Bjorkstrand sorry, Bjorkstrand is definitely more well rounded but Laine’s a 1st line talent, Bjorkstrand is more of a very good 2nd liner

People don’t want to admit it but random fans on this site make better trades than most actual GMs

Jarnkrok was a good one too

Vegas we have a 30 goal scorer

ACGM's give us a 1st and your first born child

Actual GM nah lets just dump this guy with another good player to a team and get nothing back

Considering the Leafs really don’t need another point producing winger, no, Bjorkstrand would be a better fit on the Leafs than Laine

What is Seattle doing?
They're not a contender , and they won't be in on bedard
Being middle of the pack next year , is the worst thing you can do
Does it have to do with revenue?

K I will give him that to but that CBJ trade is just robbery for Francis as Bjorkstrand had 28 goals this year and he got him for a 3rd and 4th

delete

There like Nashville right in the middle

Not good enough to properly compete but not bad enough to tank

Its not a great place to be. If Goaltending becomes better than it was last year could be a WC team

What doesn’t help is we can only guess the thought process behind moves, we just post what we think is reasonable, GM’s have a lot more counselling on moves and conversations with staff

If you get offered a player like Bjorkstrand for a 3rd and 4th you take it

They don’t need beard. They have wright and Matty B

Making room
How does that make sense?
They are acquiring the asset

Remember who there coach is tho

How the **** was Calgary not in on that. Get Bjorkstrand for that cheap then trade Chucky for a Center or something and go from there

Treliving better wake the **** up

there is nothing that points to Laine being better than Bjorkstrand. It's not even close.

now allegations against the 2003 canadian world junior team? hockey canada is gonna get dismantled.

yea i know. still mixing up bjorkstrand and wennberg.

some heaving drinking going on rn

Will Butcher to Dallas interesting

Reclamation project but still has bounce back potential

Would've liked him on the habs

Calgary losing their two best players, Anaheim tanking for one more year, San Jose digging deeper into mediocrity by hiring Quinn, Canucks and Vegas being, well.. Canucks and Vegas
You know, in a relatively weak Pacific division, Seattle might actually make the playoffs next year.
Neat.

So I guess my hopes of Kerfoot getting a 2nd are shot

Wtf, just saw the Bjorkstrand deal. I can't think of a worse trade in recent memory (including Patches/Fleury for nothing). Dude's a tremendous 2-way player with 4 years left at a very reasonable cap hit. I'm in actual shock.
