I'll be sitting there right next to you. Armstrong got ROR and the only thing he really gave up of value was Thompson a 1st, and a 2nd. |

Perron at 4 mil cap hit is fine. Contract is maybe a year or two longer than I'd like, but he's a solid middle six winger who can play RW and shoots right handed. Bozak is solid as middle six center and just ****ing made the Sabres call their bluff on ROR. Armstrong, even without making the ROR trade, signed two guys who don't block Kyrou, Thomas, or Kostin long term. But Armstrong just fleeced Buffalo and got a legitimate top line center who I'd argue is better than Stastny. |

Armstrong ****ing blows, but at least the O Reilly deal cleared some trash from the roster and got a good player

His worst trades have been Oshie(which he was hell bent on trading), Perron to Edmonton, and Miller. Of those, only the Oshie trade might have caused long term damage for getting essentially Brouwer for one season. Armstrong brought in Bouwmeester for jack shit, Schenn for a cap dump and two firsts, he traded Ryan ****ing Reaves for a first round pick, and he refused to overpay for Backes. The worst move you could argue Armstrong has made was picking Allen as the future goalie for the Blues over Bishop. Armstrong is shrewd when signing extensions and FAs in addition to being shrewd for making trades. He has shown consistently he won't make an overpayment for a player unless he's comfortable with that, with Miller being the lone exception. |

Now I'm glad he didn't because it hurts a division rival but personally I think Tavares really dicked them over. |

Reporter: So John, are you excited to sign your extension with the Isles? JT: No, **** this team, I've been here for 9 years and it's been a total cluster-****. 1 playoff series win in 9 years? Seriously? The Leafs look pretty good right now. I think I'll go there. According to JT, he was convinced to make the move over the past week or so. (I find that part hard to believe). Either way, the Isles did this to themselves through shitty ownership and management. The same way the Leafs did with Sundin. |

Why would anyone express the desire to leave to an employer? to be traded to Winnipeg for 3 months? That's the turmoil part they want to avoid.
I totally get it. I was pissed about Sundin, but I understood it. I was more pissed at the Leafs' failures than I was at Sundin. |
