I still don't understand the Thomas move from Dallas' perspective. Is he suddenly going to be their number 1? I doubt he's better than Lethonen at this point in time. Why make the deal?
 
Lehtonen's groins are made of paper mache. The depth can only help.

People keep tweeting these weird allusions to be "wary of Montreal" and "watch Montreal", etc. 
 
If they get Vanek, that is going to piss me off. He kills the Bruins.

Have to figure this is the guy the B's have been going hard after.
 
Maybe, but that would be something.  Maybe they feel they can fix him, and turn him into the player he could be instead of what he is.   What he is, just isn't what the Bruins need right now

Bruins are doing nothing big.  We would have been hearing rumblings by now.

Do you really want them to do something just for the sake of doing something? They're pretty much set as is. Any move they make would just be to fortify an already good team.

Of course there's no need to make a move just for the sake of making a move, but there's definitely needs that could be addressed. No one wants to see them overpay, but to shore up some defensemen depth? Sign me up.

Agreed, but rooting for a move just to see a move seems silly to me.

Hold on there; G Dan Ellis coming to #FlaPanthers for Tim Thomas apparently...that would mean Scott Clemmensen is headed to AHL after all.

I don't think they have to make a big move at all.  But, if the price of Vanek is reasonably cheaper than they thought, why not go do it?  Same with Jack Johnson, although I'd think his price would be higher than Vanek.

I'm on board, brah. Just seemed like you were rooting for ANY move to happen.
 
JUST FORGET IT OK?

Ah, I see someone else has Felger and Mazz on in the background.

Looks like Conacher has drifted firmly into the "denial" phase

The Vanek front is so ridiculously quiet given that everyone knows he has to go. He has to be a ~3:30 announcement, right? I feel like Moulson to the Wild is due to come out sooner or later.

Pierre McGuire just did soooo much pointless namedropping. It was incredible.
 
Jaw-dropping. I thought he was going to say Matt Moulson was married to Mike Backman

TSN still not mentioning Meszaros. Haven't seen that confirmed by the sources I am following on Twitter. Does anyone have 100% confirmation on that?

Eller scratched by the Habs, but that's most likely just because he's the 13th forward.
 
Therrien really knows how to ruin young players.
