Wow! Seriously, how else do you respond to walking into this bedroom...Or for that matter what other way do you react after the Boston Bruins spent draft weekend destroying their franchise even more then former GM Peter Chiarelli did...
This weekend was the NHL Draft but most of the talk leading up to it, and during, was all about trades...Many expected the Toronto Maple Leafs to be active, trying to move asshole Phil Kessel and whatever other dead-weight Mike Babcock want to be rid of...But no, it was other teams that were busy...
We'll start with Buffalo since they got things rolling Friday morning...Buffalo traded the #21 overall pick to Ottawa for goalie Robin Lehner and center David Legwand...Then Buffalo traded D- Nikita Zadorov, F- Mikhail Grigorenk (who has not lived up to the potential and hopes he came with), F- J.T. Compher and pick #31 for C- Ryan O'Reilly and F- Jamie McGinn...O'Reilly is good, a solid two-way center but the offensive numbers aren't up to where his agents has his sights set money wise...Colorado didn't want to deal with those negotiations again next year...But it could work out in Buffalo...Mix those additions with 2nd overall pick C- Jack Eichel, and last years 1st roand pick C- Sam Reinhart, the Sabres are suddenly stacked at Center, and Lehner will get his chance at finally being "the man" between the pipes...The Sabres got better this weekend...
Then we come to Boston...Thursday they traded Carl Soderberg to Colorado for a 6th round pick...Considering the Avalance then Signed Soderberg to a 5 year $23.75 million deal, the Bruins should have gotten more then a 6th rond pick...Then he Bruins, again traded away an elite, you player, this time D- Dougie Hamilton...He was sent to Calgary for the 15th, 45th, and 52nd overall picks...Next, they traded LW- Milan Lucic to the Kings for the 13th overall pick, backup goalie Martin Jones and a prospect...So the Bruins opened the draft with 3 first round picks...You can do some serious rebuilding on the fly with that...Instead they drafted 3 guys that most teams didn't have going in the first round...Our friend Sully is very pissed folks...Very pissed...
My Rangers needed to get some cap space, because they have some key guys to resign...The biggest name being talked about was backup goalie Cam Talbot...Thursday there was an offer of two 2nd round picks for Talbot...Overrated GM Glen Sather said no...He wanted more...He wanted at least a first rounder plus...For a 27 year old backup, with limited experience...Well, that pipe-dream got squashed when late Friday night/early Friday Morning the Vancouver Canucks traded proven goalie, Eddie Lack to Carolina for a third round pick and a seventh round pick....Fucked up Glen!
Following on twitter it read as if Sather was in a panic talking to everyone Saturday...Then it broke, the Rangers traded F- Carl Hagelin the 59th and 179th overall picks to Anaheim for Emerson Etem and the 41st overall pick...Hate seeing Hags go...Etem is a similar player style wise...A bit younger, and will cost a good deal less...Some dickhead Rangers fans dogged Hagelin trying to justify the move, blasting his offensive numbers...Yeah, he never score 30-40 goals, because he played in a defensive system, played on the penalty kill and not the power play, and was stuck on a line with old man Martin St. Louis most of this year...It was a money move, and they got a body back...It is what it is...
Then the Rangers traded Ryan Haggerty to Chicago for backup goalie Antti Raanta...Good deal, Raanta is solid...So then you knew Talbot was gone...He was moved to Edmonton along with 7th round pick, for a 2nd, 3rd, and 7th...Idiots could have had two 2nds!
There were a lot of draft picks moved around the board, and some other players here and there, but nothing major...Well, there was a somewhat odd one with Arizona...They traded Sam Gagner and a couple picks for a solid defenseman, Nicklas Grossmann and Hall of Fame candidate, Chris Pronger....Huh!
While Pronger is not an active player, his contract is active...This move frees up cap space for Philly, but it also helps the Coyotes...His contract will give them the boost to take them to the salary floor...Another odd thing about Pronger's contract being active, is that he has been working for the NHL in their Player Safety Department...Definitely the oddest draft weekend trade...
-Moving on to a different topic after B.O.B. posted THIS Q-O-T-D about Russell Wilson...Rumor floating around is that Wilson wants to be the highest paid QB in the NFL...I actually got to learn all about this via my phone while walking my dog...We were away this weekend at my in-laws assisted living home, and my two sister-in-laws came in from Massachusetts as well...I walked the dog a lot to get away from people...So here is the scoop...
Technically he’s not asking to be the highest paid QB in the NFL...His agent is asking for at least 80% of his contract to be guaranteed which never happens in the NFL…Wilson's agent is a Baseball agent, where contracts are guaranteed…he’s trying to change the game in the NFL where career ending injuries are more likely...And I'll tell ya what...With how fucked up ex-football players are, I don't blame him at all!
-Now, the last thing you NEED to checkout is Charlotte McKinney...
When faced with question about how "ugly girls" have to be the funny ones, and good at giving blowjobs, Charlotte responded with this...
"Oh my God, I actually was thinking about this the other day–there are girls that I know that won’t even give blowjobs, and I guess it’s because they think they’re too hot, or something? It’s such bullshit."
I don't think there is anything else we need to know about her...She's a goer!
Have a week...
