I am not nearly the hockey fan that most of you are around here, but even I know this is an awful trade. There are few players I hate watching "play" hockey more than this guy. He's dirty, he can't score and maybe most importantly, I hate looking at his stupid face. He's Matt Cooke except Cooke actually has some skill. I wouldn't want this guy on the team even if they gave him to us for free. Giving up a 3rd rounder for him? That's nuts! Even if that 3rd rounder has a 2% chance of being a legit NHL player, that's 2% more than you're getting from Rinaldo.
I honestly can't wrap my head around what the hell Neely and Sweeney are doing. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it just looks to me that they are getting worked over by the rest of the league. They needed to make some moves, but the ones they made just don't make any sense to me, other than the Looch deal.
This is going to be a long season.
