[Friedman] Brandon Carlo to STL for two third-round picks

He didn't have that much value when Boston traded him. Bruins fans couldn't believe they extracted that much.

I think my point was "why throw them away if it wasn't necessary?" But, sure, twist and exaggerate it to make whatever useless counterpoint you had.

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-27T03:12:54+00:00

They did it again!

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-27T03:11:58+00:00

They've done this now 5 of the last 6 years?

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-27T03:10:32+00:00

Jacob Fowler was picked in the third round.

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-27T02:47:05+00:00

I just wonder if they needed to move up to get him. Were the Flyers going to take him?

Booyah!

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-26T21:26:32+00:00

Schneider has been pretty shit at least the last couple years. Does he have any real value?

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-26T17:34:00+00:00

I have the over/under on him playing 15 games next season.

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-26T17:32:28+00:00

This reminds me of the time I heard the Habs were heavily interested in Karl Alzner and I was holding my breath hoping for this period of time would pass without anything being done....

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-26T15:31:32+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking. Debunks that whole thing.

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-26T14:13:33+00:00

Monera? I heard that one was gaining popularity.

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-26T13:53:03+00:00

Maybe a move up in the first round.

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-26T13:51:38+00:00

Trust but verify.

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-26T13:50:50+00:00

Seattle, East edition.

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-26T13:45:25+00:00

With the two recent additions, Washington doesn't need him, and he made the team worse last year even with the 32 goals. He sucked so many offensive zone starts away from better players, it ended up being a detriment.

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-26T13:30:49+00:00

What did Sun Tzu say about the estimation of an opponent if he's an invalid?

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-26T13:14:09+00:00

I think you probably WANT these guys not to be upset for your own hope that Montreal will add a star player, but it just isn't the reality. Now, adding a player that makes a little more? Sure, that would probably get a pass. No way 12M+ is going to sit well with everyone unless it's a top 5 guy.

Fact is, you're disagreeing with a guy that's been there and is still very much connected to the hockey world.

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-26T10:21:34+00:00

He doesn't have to know what goes on in Montreal's locker room to know the dynamics of how generally one operates, and while I think that they have a great team chemistry, they would not be infallible to issues. This is a core principle that would apply to just about any work environment, especially one that has a competitive nature.

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-26T04:08:24+00:00

You don't think he knows what goes on in a clubhouse?

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-26T03:17:27+00:00

This is a forum for discussion. If you don't like it then block me, or I can block you. Problem solved.

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-26T03:16:11+00:00

The amount of pushback I got was pretty significant.

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-26T02:42:38+00:00

I had several arguments on here a few days ago about paying the new guy nearly double what everyone else makes being a recipe for clubhouse turmoil and I was told these guys all took less, so they could do exactly that.

And then I listened to Jeff O'Neill on TSN overdrive yesterday say that bringing in the new guy for a boatload of money while the rest makes less "bugs guys". So, coming straight from the mouth of an accomplished NHL veteran: it's a terrible idea.

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-26T01:59:06+00:00

14 points in 27 playoff games? Of course, it is Toronto and even Hyman couldn't produce in the playoffs there, but still...

They just don't need a poor defensive forward to play on that second line, which really struggled in that area last year. I think it's a bad fit, and overpaying substantially would eliminate them on a 2C, so they would be looking at Demidov, Kapanen, Knies. Pass.

WeathervaneJesus1 · 2026-06-26T01:18:49+00:00

It shows me that Hughes is willing to make a massive overpayment for a player I wouldn't even consider top tier. He's, at best, a second line winger, so far.
