[inferno31]

I'm guessing Shep started the talks by talking with bry? Just a thought. Hope this solves your goaltending woes. As I was saying earlier its a huge risk taking on Tampa's system, especially when it seems like they'll get outside help this off season. That being said its a pretty big haul.

Of all the managers in BBKl, Shep reminds me the most of myself, and I don't mean that to flatter myself, merely that he seems to target the same types of players and deals that I do. If he can eliminate the odd bad trade he will be really good for a really long time.

Haha is there ever a post in which you don't talk about yourself?

And talk about what? The Canucks rebuild, no thank you.

Chris. This has to be your worst trade ever. I have no idea what you were thinking.

Great trade for Bry and Shep.

[Chris]

While you're critiquing trades Shiv, mind posting for everyone what your offer was?

Overstatement of the year..

[kimmer]

Bcools wins by a mile. He benefits the most going in for contention, the right pieces to acquire to top off that goalie/scoring touch, for little given up

[Lee]

Wow what a fucking haul by bcool...

[Robin Hood]

My offer was terrible. I have no idea what that has to do with this trade. You essentially traded Ryan Smyth for Berglund and got the rest with the TBL system for Miller. It will cost you double what you received here to get back to Miller.

I know you have to make statements like this to make Chris feel better about you and Bry raping him with his pants on.

Yea, because Smyth's upside is tremendous!

lol.. Chris and I had by FAR the smallest part of this deal.

Only reason Chris's side might look bad is because he'll have to go out and get the TBL starter in the summer. He added tons of depth for "R. Miller, J. Enroth, R. Smyth, A. Engqvist, C. Goloubef, P. McRae" ... Buffalo tandem (Miller has had 1 good season in the NHL that puts him above average), a Dinosaur and 3 terrible prospects.

Miller has 1 season with a GAA under 2.50 and a SV% of .920 - For $6mil, he's the most overrated goalie in the league. But, everybody only remembers his 2009-2010 season and assume he's a Top 5 goalie.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OMG RAPED.

[Robin Hood]

Don't quote stats, Shep. Chris' team needs value. And no matter how you slice it, the deal below looks TERRIBLE for Chris (Smyth/Berglund cancel each other out with a small edge to Berglund).

TBL System + Barrie + Morris + Brown + Olesz + 28-30th Overall in the next 2 years

for

BUF System

Stevie Y would be all over this deal if he could upgrade TBL's tandem for so cheap. And in the real NHL 1st round picks are worth way more.
