Sure, things don't look so great now but remember 20 years ago when he drafted two guys?

Always nice to be reminded that Steve Simmons is a piece of human garbage.

Bell, let?s talk. It appears one of your media subsidiaries employs someone who does not hold the values you purport to cherish.

 

[Bullfrog]

Neither does Bell, so I'm not sure they'll care.

They can have Matt Martin.  He's pretty tough.

Martin for Hanafin, I love where this off season thread is going already.

I watch a lot of Pawn Stars so I know a thing or two about negotiations.

Let's look at how one of the bigger offseason trades went:

Panarin: 27 goals, 55 assists, 82 points in 81 games

Saad: 18 goals, 17 assists, 35 points in 82 games

Gonna go ahead and call that one a win for the Blue Jackets.

He's not necessarily wrong. He just doesn't realize he's actually talking about himself.

That's just media fodder, boys.  He's not going to say they're bad hockey players, he has to trade a bunch of them this summer!

When he trades Galchenyuk for an older, slower, worse winger with more "character" then we can both be right.

I heard Matt Martin has a wonderful attitude.

I have wondered if a Galchenyuk for Brown (and Martin, sure) trade would possibly work.

Garth Snow responded with this when asked by a reporter why he deserves to remain as the Islanders GM:

"For me, 2006, when I took over this position, it was a situation where it was an all-out rebuild where we had to bring in talent through the draft," Snow said. "Now we're in a situation where we feel we can compete for a Stanley Cup."

Does... does Snow not know that his team missed the playoffs by 18 points?
