    I don't know, but I don't think so...I know it cost us $14-million to make him go away (after which he subsequently signed with the Mets, of course....), but how that was structured I'm not clear. I don't think it's a Bonilla-type situation, though. Or maybe I just hope it's not.

      I don't think so. I think we just swallowed his money straight up.

        Panthers won the draft lottery after losing it last year. From my limited viewing (really limited viewing) of the top prospects, I think I like Sam Bennett the most.

          So what team is Florida trading their #1 pick to this year?

            I'm glad we didn't get the first pick. Losing should never be rewarded. Getting the #2 pick sucks too. High picks don't mean jack when the city of Buffalo has the worst losing culture in the entire country outside Cleveland.

              Florida is glad you feel this way.

                Buffalo is still guaranteed one of Reinhart or Bennett. Florida will likely go with Ekblad since they already have guys like Huberdeau, Bjugstad and Barkov, but they could also deal the pick. Edmonton could also deal their pick in an effort to suck less quicker.

                  It's only rewarding if you get it right. Because it looks real bad if you get it wrong.

                  I dont remember there names but they were allot of fun....

                    This can't be true....right?

I've heard from several sources that Quebec originally approached the Canucks and offered Joe Sakic straight up for Trevor Linden, and Pat Quinn turned them down.

                        The only way that would make sense is if Feaster or their scouts thought that Berra, the goalie they were getting, was going to be an all star or something. From a fan's perspective, especially one who knows the Wings' system well, there is no reason to turn down two NHL ready prospects for a 1st, a euro goalie and a fringe prospect.

                        These rumors come up all the time though. I remember one where Burke turned down Mike Richards for Nikolai Kulemin and Nazem Kadri. Who knows if any of these are true.
