MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 eh. I dont love it. Im not big on Picard. I think its a great pickup for Ottawa, he will be a really nice 2nd/3rd line guy for them. Link to post Share on other sites

Can't see Toronto and Buffalo trading within the division for a player that actually matters (ie: Not Dominic Moore). Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 This from my cousin in Montreal last night....Dominic Moore! OOOOO!!! big improvement. Actually the rumour is Frolov to Montreal for either Weber, D'Agostini or maybe Lapierre. Just what the doctor ordered, another big lazy russian talent/enigma.I love the last line. Frolov really does remind me a lot of Kovalev in some ways. Link to post Share on other sites

They're the Whalers of the NHL when it comes to farm depth. Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Good deal for any Picard owners in fantasy leagues, IMO.Don't like the deal for Ottawa, but seems like 2nd-rounders are being bandied about more easily than usual this year. I guess scouts don't love the guys who'll be available in the 50-65 range. Link to post Share on other sites

Can't see Toronto and Buffalo trading within the division for a player that actually matters (ie: Not Dominic Moore).why would either team care about trading in their division? These are two teams in vastly different stages of development, no?And if your the Leafs, you trade with ANYONE when your dumping FA's. My personal belief.....limiting your market in trading is the best way to never get any better. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 From Bob Mckenzie:Update: Brad May has been put on waivers by Detroit. Another player will likel be put on long term disability to make room on the roster for Lilja. Link to post Share on other sites

He is pretty invisible out there. Wonder if he is on a one way.So now they are speculating that Kronwall goes on Long Term and Lebda or Meech get traded because I don't think waiving May and IR'ing Kronwall gets the $ part done for Lilja. Weird. Plus, why bring Lilja up for one game before the break. Makes no sense but whatever. We need to trade for a goalie who can win a shootout since neither Howard or Osgood can get that part done.

Haven't paid that much attention to him. Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 You guys should watch him play sometimes.....it wouldnt shock you at all.Im honestly pretty suprised it took them this long, or that they believed he was never gonna get claimed, and they didnt want him in the minors.He's bad out there. Its really hard to explain it, other than, I dont see anything other than a 4th liner, maybe an ok 3rd liner, when I watch him now.I watched a lot of SJ the year Thornton got traded there, and I honestly believed the chemistry was from both of them, that while Cheechoo benefitted the most, Thornton was getting some help from Cheechoo too. I was not one of those who believed Cheechoo's talent was all Joe T. Either I was wrong, or something is really wrong with Cheechoo, phsyically or mentally. Link to post Share on other sites
