i hated this trade the moment it happened. i tink the 1 and only trade he got completely fleeced on

I agree completely. The others were debatable but this is plain bad.

This was MB showing he truly doesn't understand "value". Rather than thinking ahead of time to not being forced to lose players to waivers, etc, he makes bone headed moves like this. I'm sure Julien had a say in this but if they were smart they know that attaining a guy like Martinsen could of been done with minimal expense and cost. Instead because a player doesn't seem to be flourishing due to his sick sense of "value" decides to ship off a young player capable of scoring for a 4th liner who is potentially not even good enough for the 4th line in MTL.


Bravo MB bravo. Keeping adding that CHaracter and grit. That's whats wins games right?

i agree too . i don't like the trade . i think he had to be traded but the return is the problem it should have been better .
But i dont know wich one is the worst : Andrigheto trade or Shaw trade

At least Shaw has some use. And there's no way to predict who will be avaliable. But, yeah it WAS pretty bad.

Agreed but considering Chicago was not going to be able to sign Shaw and they had to move out some salary, i don't understand why we paid a premium for a energetic 2-3 winger? Once again MB showing that he values grit and character on a higher level than skill.... He gave the equivalent of a 1st rounder in return for Shaw.... that makes no sense especially since we have that exact type of player already in Gallagher.

Martinsen has the Hockey IQ of a Tim-bit league player. And cement blocks for hands...yes he's big but he's not aggressive what-so-ever, so what's his point?

MB thinks the NHL is still in the 90's...in the dead-puck era.
