[anton]

yes

[kimmer]

wow i thought this deal was a friendly joke. LAK wins huge
*disclaimer: this post above comes from a certain GM that considers Marian Gaborik less than trash human being hockey player*

[Bruyns]

Steve must be looking to move a C now that he has 6 waiver eligible Cs.

Like it for Anton if Gaborik stays healthy, which means Steve likely wins.

bench bro

Question to Anton: what would you have done if Steve was not in on this trade?

Steve is in on ALL trades, so I am more curious as to what GM's would do without him.

[Lee]

Stafford is a better cheaper option, but what do I know.

[Bruyns]

Only 875K cheaper and not as good offensively. You got Stafford for only two 2nds at least.

[Lee]

He has as many points, younger and far more healthy.

[Bruyns]

2 less points in 9 more games, but hits and has some PK. Value is pretty close, but Anton seemed to be only looking for offence.

[LeanMachine]

think of the positives Lee; Steve saved you butt from getting a buffet package you'd regret later.

[Bruyns]

Ya trade me back Despres Steve he is terrible.

Clarkson + Savard for Despres + X

[Lee]

Meh, I need some D to make GP. Severson, Gelinas and Kindl all hurt. Dumba and Trotman down. Expected one of my D kids to make it.

[The BBKL Insider]

Despres is awesome. I'll give u sbisa for savard 1 for 1

[anton]

Harrison and Sbisa is a wash. It's helm and despres for Gaborik which I'm fine with. I wanted offense and I got it.

Gabs contract is not bad either

I had a similar deal for hudler but josh was flakey. Disappeared too many times in negotiations so I just went with this.

[Matthew]

Does that mean you are substituting Kaleta and Gaborik into roster spots for Helm and Despres? Seems like an offensive wash and periph murder. I'm probably missing something here.

[Lee]

There was also a handjob in a dark alley exchange.

[anton]

how do you figure it's an offensive wash.

gaborik will out produce helm and despres offensively by a good amount.

GABorik is almost ppg lol. Has 2 tonight so far
