Rhett Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=2499417Luongo's demands sent him packing. I think this trade was mostly politics. silly.c'est la guerre! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acmilan Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 The Leafs signed Pavel Kubina and Hal Gill There alright but not for the money they are getting <_< Ferguson is a moron :anger: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Gill is tall. that's worth a few million. and Chara is leaving Canada for the stinking Bruins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avadakedavra Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Jason Arnott signed with Nashville. Patrick Elias is a Devil until he DIES at this rate.Dallas Drake was resigned with St. Louis.Minnesota Wild signed Johansson and Carney.Blake is going back to the Kings.Thrashers signed HedbergSenators signed CorvoBlackhawks signed LalimeRed Wings resigned OsgoodChara signed with BostonVanovski signed with PhoenixKings signed Scott ThortonBruins signed SavardThese are what the family "cares" about. Of them, I'm sort of "huh?" on Lalime, because Chicago needs another goalie like they need a hole in the head. Of course, my poor team is going to suck until the owner and the head coach are drowning in Lake Michigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I always find it odd that a team can think, "you know, this guy just isn't worth the money anymore. let's let him walk as a free agent. screw it." and then an hour later another signs him for more and thinks, "he's amazing! he'll be the saviour of the franchise!"

avadakedavra Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I find it even more strange when the team is whining (or at least the owner) that they can't afford this free agent. And then the guy they sign five minutes later makes twice as more. Just SAY you don't like how the guy fits in with your way of play and get it over with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 or, more often, the guy has some fatal flaw that they can't talk about. like Jason Allison or something. guy is chronically injured and apparently is a punk in the lockerroom. he doesn't stay with a team long, but the next team is always thrilled to have a player of his calibre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acmilan Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Gill is tall. that's worth a few million.and Chara is leaving Canada for the stinking Bruins The Leafs should have got McKee not Kubina or Gill Plus he cost less than Kubina Pronger went to Anahiem :shock: Pronger and Neidermayer on the same team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
