Makes me wonder about this collusion thing. If another team tells Poile we have interest then he goes and tells Homer, hey you better hurry up cause another team is coming for the same thing doesn\'t that kind of defeat the purpose of waiting till July 1st. I guess he could\'ve just said, there might be interest from another team but dam, you trade for a guy(or 2 in this matter) then have him signed in record time. No checking the team out or the city or anything just woohoo i\'m gonna get paid more than i\'m worth so sign me up. Sure makes you wonder if there wasn\'t some behind the scenes stuff. Guess it all depends when the deal was done. If it was done 1st thing this morning i guess it would be enough time, still pretty dam quick tho.
Did you ever see the draft video from last summer?
The GM and president of the Washington Caps were trying to pull some trade day magic... They knew they wanted backstrom, but they offered the Bruins (who had the pick immediately behind them) their 4th overall pick for the bruins\' 5th overall and 30some overall if they wanted to move up. But once the bruins said they wanted to do it so they could take \"the swede,\" the caps backed out of the deal saying that the president was too undecided. If the bruins had said that they wanted to move up to take kessel, then the caps would\'ve traded picks, gotten the extra pick in the second round (if I remember correctly) AND the player they wanted.
You wonder how much sneaky stuff goes on behind the scenes... I wouldn\'t be surprised whatsoever if nashville pushed phili to make this deal with the imaginary time crunch. There\'s no regulations or committees that oversee trade talks for fairness.
