Way to go kyle

[kimmer]

shouldve jumped on this if I knew nick values vanek for next to nothing. fuck

[Bruyns]

Bogo + PIT 1st for Jurco + Stuart

I think Stuart is on the decline, but maybe Jurco will be good.

[Nick]

Yep - well aware of my cycle. Originally I wanted Kreider, but Jurco was the counter, I hmmmm and hawwweeddd. Thought about Babs and DET, checked his production and accepted.

[The BBKL Insider]

Man. This is awful for nick.

one of his worse deals to date.

[Robin Hood]

Nick's bad deals are always when he decides to be a scout

[KapG]

Jurco will be awesome

[Nick]

Man. This is awful for nick.

one of his worse deals to date.

[The BBKL Insider]

We all make bad deals. I just dont understand why u traded bogo and a 1st for jurco and stuatt

[Nick]

Stuart just a reliable h2h dman who has a reasonable contract and secure role going into next season.


Jurco is the risk, I understand that - waiver exempt and cheap, but he needs to continue developing for this to ever make sense.

[The BBKL Insider]

Stat wise I agree stuat is very nice. But long term and trade value bogo would have more.

[Arian The Insider]

big move for kyle

[Nick]

Stat wise I agree stuat is very nice. But long term and trade value bogo would have more.

Ye Bogo has better #, but that 1st is not what I think Jurco will be next year.

I'm not denying this isn't a great value trade for me, but talking with other GMs about similar offers wasn't getting anywhere and Kyle played ball around an ELC guy + reliable. I'll be making several others moves this summer, however the next guys have to be better, as Vanek was the 'least valuable' of the big names on my trade block.

[hong57]

not as bad as ppl think for nick.. actually i found this being quite fair and yes jurco being waiver exempt + cheap makes nick's team more flexible in coming season on his roster

[kyuss]

To Buffalo: Jon Matsumoto

To Tampa Bay: Nick Bonino

To LA: Nikoli Kulemin , Luca Cunti & David Kolomatis
To Flyers: Chris Kunitz

how are those 2 supposed to be bad?


*note for newcomers: Nick was originally Philadelphia GM

[kyuss]

btw, looking at the last Vanek deals, i'm certainly liking my forced deadline trade more now (Nino + Trocheck)

[kimmer]

Lol bonino is a stud
