Local and National Media updates on trade and rumors

[jerrod]

it has been reported in the past that 90% of all ticket sales are made before 1 january. Kohl isn't going to lose any money if nobody attends games this year.

no people means no food and merchandise dollars

I doubt kohl caeres about the money he gets from hot dog sales. if i was you, i'd check the beer to ensure it's actually beer and not something from a dog or colored water.

We could just easily lock up all the trade threads....no point in talking about anything since any deals won't take place until draft week now.....four months away.....

You don't have to wait until then. You can start trading again as soon as you have no remaining games. That is only two months away for the teams that don't make the playoffs, and then in another 7-14 days you get another 8 teams back in the trade mix when 8 teams get knocked out of the 1st round of the playoffs, etc.

Oh I understand that....but as a practical matter, most big deals don't go down until draft week....a few weeks after the GM's have time to talk at the pre-draft camp.

What I'd like to hear from you is what deals we may have passed on.....those that Dave Babcock insists we were "really working hard at doing".

Me too. What do you know GAD or is Babcock full of ****?

Yes, you are correct from a practical standpoint.
Sometimes teams don't wait that long though, so I just wanted to point that out for anyone who was unaware.

As for what we were "really working hard at doing"...
The only thing it seems like we're really working hard on is getting ready to get Babcock some new office furniture, business cards, etc.

So we really weren't doing anything other than letting Isiah's calls go into voicemail?

[WEFFPIM]

I've been laughing so much while reading this thread you have no idea.

[schweig]

So looking ahead another 4 years (2 coaches, no playoff round wins, etc.), who's next in line after Babcock? I can't imagine we'll run out of these guys while Kohl's still on this earth. Imagine what that **** guy's going to look like when he hits 100 still pulling this same ****.

I thought the show went until 7:00, I was calling to ask Babcock if he was going to keep Larry K. or replace him with a Vet coach......just wondering what coaches Babcock has worked with in his career that he might consider bringing aboard.

And a mighty fine game it was. Admirals score 3 goals in the final 7 minutes to send the game to overtime and win the game with less than 1 second left in overtime.
