Who knows? Maybe Bjugstad? Maybe a defenseman. But there was no reason to lose as much as they lost. It was a terrible decision.

ESPN reporting that Panthers have offered $6 million per year plus bonuses on a mutli year contract o Quenneville.

Does this make Florida more or less attractive to Panarin?

More...way more.

Q had him in Chicago and Panarin was very good under him.

Makes all the sense in the world...this could be the deciding few years whether or not hockey stays or leaves Miami.

Either way they will have a fistfull of great players and an all-time great coach...cant ask for a whole lot more to succeed.

So in other words he's a perfect fit for the Oilers.

Panarin, Bob & Q? Great adds. Just give them back their old logo and its perfect.

Yeah I figured that would probably be a positive, just couldn't remember what their relationship was like in Chicago.

Now rumblings that Garth Snow is on his way to Florida, too?

I believe word at the time was they didn't want to lose Petrovic or Pysyk.


Neither has proven to be as impactful as the guys they lost, and they already moved on from Petrovic.

Tallon is almost 70 so may not want to be GM long term

Maybe, but Garth Snow?


Bleh.

Petrovic isn’t even playing at an NHL level right now

The Vegas trade catastrophe came from the owner ordering harsh pay roll cuts though. Tallon did a bad job with it but it was the result of an internally imposed cap from a meddling owner who had completely screwed the pooch with his decisions the year prior.

Long-time Islanders coach Jack Capuano is an assistant in Florida, which IMO adds weight to the Snow rumours -- Snow was very loyal to his coach and I believe they lived in the same house for a while (this was rumoured years ago and I don't know if it's true but I remember it being a running joke).

Yeah, that's part of it, but it falls on Tallon to be creative with his proposed solutions, not to trade away a 30 goal scorer and a strong 2-way forward.

The Panthers could have included a B-level prospect or a 3rd-round or later draft pick to send Smith to Vegas as a cap dump. Including Marchesseault was dumb.

Like Garth Snow level of dumb.





*Seriously....Garth Snow??? Is there nobody more suitable???

Yay!

Panthers hiring Snow.

Boo!

Oh the Panthers, an expert franchise in 1 step forward, 2 steps back. They giveth, and they taketh away.

From what I remember, he actually became a decent GM by the end of his tenure with the Islanders, especially after Wang stepped back in the last couple of years.

Or, he just might have looked like a genius because he was trading with Chiarelli so much.

Possibly.


A quick glance at his trade history (and I may have missed one or two) show the Reinhart trade as a clear winner, and the rest meh.


Even the Eberle trade - Eberle didn't even hit 60 points last year and had a sub-par year this year too. In fact Strome, once he he got out of the steaming mess of Edmonton, was just about as productive as Eberle this year.
