I think there was a version of analysis paralysis that was impacting both Trouba and BS.. hopefully this frees each of them up a good bit

Brady and Trouba needed to be split.. The shame of it is Lindgren and Fox were a really good pair.. I hope there are some natural synergies between these new pairings.

Considering our last new names have been the Golden Knights, Blue Jackets, and Wild.. I'm fine with a little creativity, even if borderline silly.. A little eccentricity is never a bad thing

Only way to get a good haul is to ask for one.. GM's make some really bad decisions from time to time. I just hope Gorton is the face of regret Dubas sees the morning after the trade has been consummated.

This whole narrative is funny to me. And wrong.

With a wooden stick circa 1987.

It was actually Mariano Duncan. We play today. We win today. Das it

I'm looking at it on the bright side.. One solid drive at the end with a successful PAT and we win 10-9

and to think... I remember a thread wondering if paying an extra 2nd rather than an extra 3rd was worth it..

Just quit on the play. Fucking embarrassing

That was gross.. Move on to the next one.

For comparison, Brendan Smith cost a 2nd and a 3rd.. I'm not losing any sleep with a 3rd becoming a 2nd for a kid 7 years younger at the time of the trade and with exponentially more upside.. For a franchise that took Hugh Jessiman @12, Al Montoya @6, Dylan McIlrath @10, and went 4 years without a 1st round pick, we sure are getting worked up over what looks to be a legitimate NHL defenseman additionally costing you pick #41 rather than pick #72.. If this was the most pressing unknown this team had to address, I'd be all for the wringing of hands.. Trust the process.

The Harvard part is purely coincidental I'm sure (see JimmyV), but this kid plays a very intelligent brand of hockey. He's not just running around out there chasing the play, its refreshing to watch.

He's blocked more shots than I can count.. He's game, its all city miles- potholes, abrupt starts and stops, a few fender benders. Having G there last night for his night, and having Staal in the press box seemed strangely apropos.. Two dudes who took both took a beating, and had more desire than they did tread left on the tires as their respective careers wound down.

was he supposed to give her a big hug complete with and a double handed ass grab? Honestly, I'd have enjoyed watching the aftermath of that..

I'm hopeful this Fox Lindgren pairing has some legs.. they looked really good last night, managed their own end very responsibly and were engaged offensively.

At the end of the day... really funny.

I have a sneaking suspicion we won’t be producing the Norris Trophy winner this year.

#18 is a disaster, even with a goal

Wheeler may score 8 goals tonight.

That one was softer than newborn turds.

Jesus Hank.

That is the worst defense I’ve seen in ages.. and after last year, that says a lot.

Top pair? Yuck
