Lehner + Legwand for Colin White was a very solid trade. I hated it as a Sabres fan.
Ottawa gave up an oft-injured goalie that was going nowhere and a contract dump and got a blue-chip prospect out of it.
I don't know. There are a few on there they had to do (and lose, ie. Spezza), and probably 90% of teams have a poor list, but:
- If Ryan didn't get hurt every year that deal wouldn't look AS bad.
- Someone was going to get duped into Conacher, it just happened to be OTT but they needed to move a goalie anyway.
- Methot helped them.
- The Condon one was silly since he was on waivers like 3 weeks before / could have been had for free
- I still don't like the Dahlen for Burrows one
- The Zibanejad was a big loss though, especially because they gave up a 2nd for some reason/just to save money because Melnyk is cheap
- You have to give them props for getting a 2nd out of Lazar, who they weren't going to protect anyway, and it is not like CGY is using him well anyway
You are also missing when they traded a 3rd to move up ONE spot in the first round to grab the guy they wanted, and the Devils still grabbed the player they were targeting anyway

I can't list my 2nd main keeper as there are too many players, but it is a keep all H2H points-only league
That was a list of all the trades since 2012, not my list of bad ones.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
I'd take it as a rumour rather than 'breaking news'.
Turris to Mtl for Chucky makes so much sense - Mtl is in desperate need of a Centre & Chucky has played both W and C. I doubt these two teams would do anything to help each other out though. If Nsh is kicking tires on Duchene to add their C depth - they should be willing to look at Turris as a cheaper option.
Can't say I disagree that he'll get 5.5m. Seems about the right price for him.
With Brown & White both needing contracts in 3yrs, I think that will influence them in not wanting to lock in Turris long term and bury the youth coming up.
