MessageHa, I love it! Thats classic Phil right there. Unflappable opinions and unyielding strategies...

You bet that was a win for me. And as a rebuilding team, it was also a win for Goon. And the best part for him is that, as a rebuilding trade, the best is yet to come.

How about this beauty?

To Terror - Gaborik, Kariya

To C-Dogg's - Parise, 08/09 PP (turned into Alex Pietrangelo), 09/10 PP (turned into Erik Karlsson), 4th rd (30th overall)

MessageThis trade is going close to as good as it possibly could've gone for Goon... and I still think he lost.

Henrik Sedin. Case closed.

At the time of the deal, noone had Zetterberg producing at the rate he has... that doesn't make the trade good in hindsight... it just means that current stats pull the deal out of rape job category and into just a lost trade.

Your team would not be poised to win right now without this deal, so you know it's a win for you.

Goon gave you those three assets which at the time projected to be a formidable trio and got 1 player of significant fantasy value in return.
That one player currently has an inflated statline which he will not maintain... and is still worse than Sedin alone.

Goon made a number of good moves at the last draft (I was even impressed with the new Goon)... but this deal still goes down as a terrible deal at the time. (Not to be confused with my terrible deals after the fact for AO and Sid...)

MessageI would like to bring up one of the past deals that was made between Goon and myself. We were both ripped for it and now with the benefit of a little hindsight, I believe that Goon has proven you all wrong.

To The Terror: H. Sedin, H Zetterberg, N Lidstrom

To The Goons: J. Eberle, V. Hedman, C. Hodgson, D. Perron, 7th PP, 18th in 1112, 2nd rounder 1213, 4th rounder 1213(Cams), two 4th rounders 1314(Phil and Robs)

A quick breakdown (as we had it back then):
Sedin for Eberle...anyone have a problem with this now?
Lidstrom for Perron and Hodgson...uh, no brainer!
Zetterberg for Hedman, a PP and the rest...Hedman is slowly coming around and Zibanejad is a good prospect while Zetterberg is on pace for 60 points.

The point I would like to make is that we need to rip each other more in regards to trades because it makes hindsight that much sweeter.
Phil - you said Goon likes to be bent over. Maybe you should try bending over so you stop sinking in the standings. C'Dogg called me "silver tongued" - no problem with that. Better to be silver tongued than left holding an empty bag.

Someone else stir the pot now!

MessageI remember awhile back I made a terrible trade and felt so regretful after a little while. Thats probably the way the Flyers feel about Bryzgalov.

MessageNo, we are witnessing a very tight race made possible because of my fairly fortunate luck thus far.
This race is pretty awesome though, not because of how close it is now but how close it's been the entire last three months. I fully expect this to come down to the last days of the year.

MessageAre we witnessing the changing of a new dynasty? Will the Dukes be able to hang onto their dynasty or are the Terror ushering in a new era?
