They are quite puzzling. The Ruutu deal in particular blows my mind.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

McKenzie reporting possible deal with SJS and COL regarding Daniel Winnik. I love that guy and would hate to see him go.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Falling asleep here.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

This is stupid.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pahlsson to Vancouver being reported now.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

This just happened. Damn. Galiardi became expendable with the acquisition of Downie, but I hate to see Winnik go. Interested to see what SJS gave up (hasn't been confirmed yet).

Because it's a shit organization run by preschoolers.

Came in here to ask your opinion of these two... :lol

Every other team in the West: "Let's get better!"

Stan Bowman reportedly overheard on the phone, crying: "Daddddyyy, what do I dooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Tampa Bay doing pretty well today getting Lee and Aulie.

Oduya to Hawks.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Oduya...we got our defenseman.

NOW JUST GET DEREK FUCKING ROY.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Shit. Bruins will probably need to settle for Spacek for depth now.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Hawks were reported front runners on Oduya all day. I felt this one coming.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Still not enough coffee in the world to keep me awake right now. Although Dreger reporting a late charge for Nash. Have a feeling he's not gone until the draft.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

2nd and 3rd round picks from Hawks for Oduya.

Great trade for the Jets.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

So another piece of the Kovy trade no longer with Atlanta/Winnipeg. You listening Columbus?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Winnik is a hard worker, first and foremost, which is why I like him. He doesn't seem to have the best instincts in the world, and I think that's why he's not a top 6 forward, but he works extremely hard every shift, plays well around the net, and uses his body well. He kills penalties and plays well with others. He's one of those guys you don't always notice on the ice, but does his job well creating space for skill guys. He was doing really well playing with Ryan O'Reilly here.

Galiardi had a lot of upside as an agitating winger who could produce offensively. However, he hasn't seem to find that sandpaper again after coming back from a pretty serious injury. Like I said, the acquisition of Downie made him expendable in Colorado. Hopefully he can find his game in SJ.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The bruins not having a 2nd rounder this year is really hurting them I think.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Ehhhh.....just not a very good deal for a team that might not make the playoffs. Is Oduya going to change that all that much? Probably not. Sure as hell one bottom-4 d-man isn't going to change the culture of not giving a fuck around this team right now.

2nd and a 3rd for a month and a half of a bottom-4 defenseman is a LOT to give up.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

OMG OMG OMG

"Sabres and Blackhawks close to completing a trade believed to be for center Derek Roy"

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That's why I said it was a great trade for the Jets...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Nobody shake hands with Chris in the next few minutes... it has been down his pants.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'm ordering a #9 sweater if this happens.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

2013 picks make it hurt a little less, but yeah. Especially if the Hawks tank next year. Not hatin, just sayin...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Fuck, I forgot about Bobby Hull.

Jesus. I'm too excited about Roy. I'll buy whatever he's wearing.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

You know Roy's just as good so I say bring it down for him.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:lol:lol:lol You would think he is with the way I've been acting.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:lol:lol:thumbsup

And I'm interested in seeing what Oduya brings. Hasn't had a good couple seasons with ATL/WPG, but I've watched him play and the potential is there to be a solid d-man in the NHL. Be interesting to see what a change of scenery brings.
