  1. I would've been very surprised if JD had accepted the QO. Regardless though. The casuals would've seen it as him walking for nothing (ie. draft pick). At least this way, there's a face and a name to the compensation, and someone that will be making his debut for the team in 2019 (barring anything unforeseen). Any way you slice it, this JD thing went sideways in a very bad way. You can dress it up all you want, but this is not the return that JD should've netted us.
  2. I'm not saying that the comp is better than Merryweather... I'm just pointing out what I think the likely thought process is for those that absolutely wanted the pick. They see Bichette, SRF, Kloff as guys in that area that have a higher ceiling than Merryweather, and think there's a shot of landing another prize with the pick. Merryweather isn't a sexy prospect... And that's the problem that some have. Getting sexy for JD was almost fool proof, and yet here we are. My beef is really with Rogers if you strip it right down. Everyone knew this team was trending down after 2016. Retooling should've started... And if not then, then for sure after 2017. But there's nothing that can be done now except put some ointment on your ass, pull up your pants, and pretend it never happened.
  3. An opportunity with this garbage team? Yes. But the concern is, if he was really any good, why couldn't he crack the majors until age 27..... And on a very bad team. Maybe he goes full Jack Flaherty next season and surprises... But it's more likely that he's not all that good. Basically, it's what would you rather have as tie return for JD? Low ceiling and high floor (Merryweather) or high ceiling and low floor (comp pick).
  4. Julian Merryweather is 2 months younger than Mike Trout.
  5. I believe that it's always better to trade a player a year too early than a year too late. Now, I get it...if Rogers was meddling, as they have done before, then Team Shat really didn't have much of an opportunity to move JD, or anyone else than maybe was on the list. However, he's the face of the organization. So when things work out poorly...like they have in this instance...he's the one that's going to be held accountable, rightly or wrongly.
  6. Agreed. Unclutch
  7. It was sarcasm
  8. Yup. That's what's important. As long as the casuals are happy. Good move, Shatkins
  9. That could never happen. Shatkins is the almighty Lord.

    The damage to Henrik Zetterberg's back is irreparable. His career is over. Not the way this great wanted his career to end I'm sure.
  12. But it was a good signing cause value.

    They won't go anywhere. Melnyk's too stubborn to sell. He's your Ballard.

    We both know there are more Leafs fans in Ottawa than Sens fans.

    More great stuff out of Ottawa... J-G Pageau blew out his Achilles during fitness testing and is out 4-6 months.

    I love this deal for Ottawa... Because it's a s*** return.

    f*** you, Austin Watson. f*** you!
  19. I did. But it's like watching to lesbians chop off a guys balls at the beginning of a video then go downtown on each other afterward. It just puts you in the wrong mood.
  20. Just what I like to see. Our $3.5m investment bunting

    Yzerman stepping down as GM of the Lightning. Cue Yzerman to the Red Wings. He'll get a s*** ton more money there than Tampa could scrape together for him.
  22. I'd move him at the next deadline if he bounces back and starts pitching like the Sanchez of 2016 cause he's not gonna re-sign here. There's no reason to move him this off-season. His value is garbage....if he has another s*** season it's not like his value will go in the toilet like Donaldson's did...it's already in the toilet.

    Lose for Hughes. That should be the goal for the Habs this season.
  24. Cito "won" two world series. That's gonna be the argument if he's not there.
  25. That security guard is getting fired after this game.
