To be fair, that at least made a lot more sense because the return was higher, and the B's needed wingers a lot more than they needed a scoring center playing on the third line. Eriksson had a little down year during the lockout season, but topped 70 the three seasons before and was known for his defensive responsibility as well. Reilly Smith was a pretty decent prospect, and he's panned out well thus far. I forget who the other part was tbh. You can definitely make a case that Seguin would have been more valuable to the franchise than Krejic (Seguin would be his replacement, def not Bergeron's). However, I think it's also reasonable to question of Seguin would ever put up those numbers in Boston, even as a 1C, just because the style they play is very different than Dallas (esp now since they're so unexpectedly bad this year that they just let him do whatever) The Forsberg trade just made zero sense. Washington's #1 issue for the past several years has been the lack of a good 2C and any kind of reliable secondary scoring. Was had Ribeiro on the team that year, and he was good. But he was also a 32 year old coke fiend. You'd have to be stupid to think he was the long term answer there. That trade was just pants on head stupid. Flipping a high potential C when your organization lacks good Cs beyond Backstrom for an aging winger who never topped 60pts. So dumb | ||

So dumb I think the reason Boston traded Seguin was related to off the ice stuff rather than his performance on the ice. I agree that in hindsight the deal looks terribad but if having Seguin around was detrimental to the team I understand why they shipped him to Dallas. On top of that, you never know, if he stayed in Boston and kept screwing around he might have never reached his full potential. You also gotta remind that Seguin was a freebie coming from the Kessel deal. They traded him in order to get spare parts to make another run at the cup, which didnt pan out. Its like back in the days when Dallas traded Iginla to Calgary for Nieuwendyk. If they had never won that cup it would be regarded as a terrible deal but since they won it all, people forget about it. | ||

THat may or may not have been part of the issue too, but there was definitely more of an organizational need for wingers than centers at that time. Honestly, if Loui Erikkson played more like the player he was the past 5 or so years, it's close to an even trade. He got big time hampered by injuries. If he were a 60-70 pt player again, then you have him and Reilly Smith, who has been good too. | ||

Just saw this elsewhere. Draisaitl is getting some insanely soft minutes and not doing much. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/R1LIg83.jpg) Imagine if the Oil had a real 3rd line center who could do something with those cupcake minutes, or at the very least, make it so The Nudge + friends don't have to face off against the top line every single time. | ||

At the ripe age of 20, Olli Matta will have had thyroid cancer and the fucking mumps just months apart. | ||

The Penguins are probably going to lose MAF, Shithead Bortuzzo, and Olli Matta. At the ripe age of 20, Olli Matta will have had thyroid cancer and the fucking mumps just months apart. Pretty much the entirety of the Wild's defense has been hit by the mumps this year, and now some kind of stomach virus has hit several players and both goalies. | ||

That team is cursed man. How many years in a row have they had crazy things sideline players for months at a time? | ||
