Yeah I was shocked by that too. I was sure that Nashville would take the compensation and then trade back a couple of first round picks for some players.
Anyways, I'm hearing that Bernier is almost officially a Leaf and that it'll be announced today. I've heard that the deal is Frattin + 2nd round pick for Bernier. Could be wrong though.
Bernier. Not sure how to feel about this. Will have to watch some stuff on youtube.
Honestly, I was a bit surprised. Sure he's their captain and all but they really could have gone in another direction with the franchise and that would have been a good point to start at. I thought they'd take the compensation and then trade back a couple of picks for players and start rebuilding.
But if they didn't match the offer, you would have pretty much lost the fan base by losing both Suter and Weber so close to each other. Also just saw that Alexander Semin signed with the Carolina Hurricanes, they look to be a pretty strong team, pretty good young core and if Semin can play motivated, on a line most likely with the Staal brothers (as they want Eric to play wing, with Jordan being the number one center), could be good team this year if everyone can stay healthy.
garbage trade for the Jackets. Amazing trade for the Rangers, especially because Nash gives them what they lacked badly last year.
It really isn't that bad. Nash has a large contract, and is one player. Columbus needs a bunch of players to fill out their roster for the future. They got a bunch of young guys with potential to be 50 point producers, and a 1st.
But none of those guys are going to sell jerseys either. Would have been a great trade if they got Yakupov in the draft.
Anyone here getting NHL13 for PS3 and interested in joining my GM Connected league(if you haven't heard yet, GM Connected is basically online Franchise Mode)
