Thread: Side deal rumored wow
“Morris, you make me sick.”
So here’s some questions....
1. Why didn’t he take Jake Bean? That’s right up his alley. He loves his defense.
2. Why didn’t he wait to sign Driedger during the UFA period and pick Vatrano today?
3. They’re surely has to be some sort of side deals made with picks and players being exchanged tomorrow at 1 p.m. Right?
4. If this team is built from the back end, why take two largely unproven goalies with one year worth of experience? The defense isn’t the ‘77 Canadiens.
5. What’s his obsession with Pittsburgh third liners?
6. Kurtis McDermid? Really? You have one Incredible Hulk in Oleksiak. Of all the players LA offered?
7. When is Montreal going to be investigated for the Weber-Price medical mysteries? I’m not saying they’re not hurt, but the timing is dubious at best.

Thread: You have to make moves to contend
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mintyfresh</b></div><div>I don't think they are a circus show at all. I think a lot of fans got overwhelmed with the bigger names available, but its not feasible for them to pick a lot of those guys. I feel like they picked some of the better young talent available. The problem is I don't think there were really draft compensation deals this year like the Vegas year. I saw something where teams found out about draft rules only a year before Vegas expansion so they were in a panic as they didn't want to lose their core pieces. Rules for Seattles were released 3 years ago plus Vegas success due to the fact they completely fleeced other teams in their expansion was a big deal also. No team was going to let that happen again so I just don't think those type of deals were available.

The only move I wish they did just because I wanted to see the hockey world burn was Carey Price. Other wise I honestly think there really wasn't a much better team available to them than this. As I said I do like some of their young players. You gotta think where we were at with Vegas, if Karlsson, Theodore, and Tuch didn't break out, their team was uncertain at first as well. I just think everyone is jumping on this too early. Gotta see how it plays out.</div></div>

It sure isn’t a playoff team, circus maybe.
