Because they needed someone smaller than Krug on the blueline?Lavoie is saying we got JM Liles.
35 years old and putting up all of 15 points this year for a really shitty team. That's essentially not playing in the NHL at this point.Holy shit, JM Liles is still playing in the NHL? I thought he retired years ago.
Is it relevant? Didn't think #6/#7 defenseman was the team's biggest rental need.No word on the cost yet.
I just hope it's not significant.Is it relevant? Didn't think #6/#7 defenseman was the team's biggest rental need.
Well, when you get a chance to take minutes away from a developing player like Morrow for a stiff then really that's something you have to do.Is it relevant? Didn't think #6/#7 defenseman was the team's biggest rental need.
Liles is better than Redden.Honest question: is this guy like Wade Redden redux? Only smaller.
Or they could just play their kids without giving up anything.LeBrun says the return is a 3rd, 5th and Camara. Not bad.
Calling Camara a decent prospect is an extreme stretch. He's probably not in their top 20 of prospects right now. He has 0 goals, 5 assists in 29 games this year. He's not useful.I'm sorry, but that package they gave up for him is way, way too much. A 3rd would have been fair value. A 3rd, a 5th, AND a decent prospect?
Sweeney gets trade raped again.
Camara is AHL filler who was probably not going to be offered an RFA contract. I hardly doubt anyone is going to miss the fifth rounder.I'm sorry, but that package they gave up for him is way, way too much. A 3rd would have been fair value. A 3rd, a 5th, AND a decent prospect?

I'd trade 20 minutes a night for Miller and/or morrow over what Liles might do in the playoffs. Assuming they get in in the first place.I'm on cshea's side here, looking at his advanced stats he's still got something left in the tank.
I agree that I wish more of this season had been spent developing C Miller & Morrow, but in the event those two don't step up, Liles could be useful in the playoffs.
edit: Camara is a bum, he was probably included simply to stay below the contract limit.
He scored 36 playing alongside Mark Scheifele as an overager. If he becomes some kind of player, good for him - but I don't think it would've happened here.Disagree on Camara being AHL filler, or not a decent prospect.
He scored 36 goals as a fighter in the OHL, he's 22, and has shown talent. He's a project, for sure. But he still has potential.
I'd be willing to make a bet with you that Camera never sees meaningful time in the NHL.Disagree on Camara being AHL filler, or not a decent prospect.
