OldSenileGuy posted:I can't decide how I'd feel about them signing Joe Thornton to something like 1 year at 2 million or 2 years at 1.5 million. Yeah, he's old as gently caress, but that's Tanner Glass money and he'd still be an upgrade on Tanner Glass. Are you drunk? Joe Thornton isn't signing for anything remotely close to that price.

Ginette Reno posted:This is pretty much where I'm at with it. If they were going to go way off board with their pick anyways, then moving down is fine. As for Sundqvist, I thought he looked like dog poo poo in his call-ups this year, but I did like the way he played when called up last year. I think there's some potential for him to become a good 4c. You don't trade for punchmen, you sign them to a league minimum deal in the offseason. You sure as poo poo don't trade assets to get one who is, by all accounts, a horrible hockey player. gently caress, you're trading away a young player (even if he is a middling prospect) and dropping 20 spots in the draft and Ryan Reaves is the best guy you can get in return? The trade was stupid, illogical and indefensible on every level and in every conceivable way.

Right up until Reaves tries to elbow someone, they duck and he takes Crosby's head clean off instead. Note: This is much more likely to happen than Reaves contributing in any meaningful way.
