I'm assuming Halak hadn't bought a house yet in Buffalo.

CaliforniaChief 03-05-2014 03:30 PM

They were talking about Vanek. But the price was apparently too high at the time, and Lombardi moved on. And like I said, he had a real hard-on for Gaborik. They had almost acquired him before he went to the Rangers a few years ago.

I also think most people assume Vanek's going to sign with Minnesota next year, whereas they think there's a chance they could retain/resign Gaborik. Like I said, not thrilled but the Kings are heating up and they really didn't give anybody of substance away.

The Avs and Ducks both tried to trade for Spezza at some point today

Rams Fan 03-05-2014 05:46 PM

Garth Snow should be fired for the Vanek trade today.

CaliforniaChief 03-05-2014 05:50 PM

Yeah, sounds like he overplayed his hand big time until the Habs came in late with a low offer and then he panicked.

Yep. I will give him credit, though. He is alright at finding players that have been discarded by other teams(Grabner, Parenteau, Nabokov, Hickey).

Avs did a lot of nothing today for the most part. And I'm fine with that.

MacKinnon just broke a Gretzky record. It's an obscure one (point streak by an 18-year-old), but that's damn impressive regardless.

Scott Pioli-esque mismanagement.

Gaborik is like a declining Melo in the NHL. Streaky scorer, which is bad because when he's bad, you have to deal with his terrible defense.

Pens are so fun to watch

CaliforniaChief 03-06-2014 11:37 PM

Yeah I don't think any Kings fans are acting like we just acquired the next Wayne Gretzsky with Gaborik.

Most of us are actually more excited about Brayden McNabb, the young defenseman they got from Buffalo. Kid has a ton of potential, should be a nice addition by next year.

On another note, 6 straight wins. GKG

The Preds are pretty much done now, if that Jarnkrok guy works out they get a great return on Legwand, if not a 2/3rd rounder is not terrible for 20 games. Now I have to hope the Red Wings make the playoffs lol.

Scary situation in Dallas against Columbus. Rich Peverly collapsed on the Dallas bench. The game was postponed.
