Snoop Hogg Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 1 minute ago, drdeath said: This is such a starnge move for a team that already got Gary'd to their Cup. Their cap is totally screwed long term Not with a revolving door of players going on LTIR until the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorvatToBaertschi Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Well, today was fucking boring and I guess that’s ok. Sounds like PA and JR were working the phones a lot, but unable to find good value. they’ve proven to us that they can get shit done. If they didn’t, I’m sure there’s a reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Crossbar Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Just now, Jaimito said: Takes discipline for them not to make a move just to make a move. You know the reputation JR has. They don't sit pat. So if they didn't do anything, it isn't from lack of trying. But considering the moves in off season and during the season, which is the biggest among all 32 teams, they have already added depth to what they need and now have the #1 team in the West, #2 in NHL. Team isn't even fully healthy yet. Still got Myers and Joshua in the bullpen. Not settling for you know who. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media ate up these potential trades because all they do is stat watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DownUndaCanuck Posted March 8 Popular Post Share Posted March 8 What a mess by PA and JR, watching all the teams around us snag top players but also great depth players and we sit pat and do nothing. We really just needed some depth wingers this TDL, there were a bunch out there, and we whiffed on all of them. We paid the highest price this deadline for arguably the worst player. Teams are build in the off-season and PA did a wonderful job there, but boy did he just get schooled by savvy GMs across the league in how to make a contender. 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team isn't even fully healthy yet. Still got Myers and Joshua in the bullpen. And they did it without buying into the overpayment game during the TDL gong show. We got a fist full of players between off-season and the last few months. Good job all round imo. I'm glad we didn't spend another 1st and Podkolzin or whatever today. Thank God. This team can take on anyone if they play their game. And I bet that locker room will be full or excitement that no one was traded that's worth something shows they believe in them. That can go a long way too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go as far as stating it that way. That's really a negative spin on it just based on not making moves for the sake of moves on the deadline. Management made a ton of moves in advance and if they trust the team, I'd rather stay put than just sell off our top prospects in reaction to what the other teams are doing. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
