Shows you how devastating Alfie's departure is. This is a huge trade that was overshadowed by an even bigger loss for the club.

yo seriously, get a new avatar.

I'm changing mine anyway

Why? I like yours.

Bryan Murray says Anaheim wanted two of Cowen, Zibanejad and Silfverberg for Bobby Ryan. Able to compete trade when Ducks agreed on Noesen.

The Diddle is Anaheim talking about?  No you most certainly cannot have Cowen + Silfverberg, go piss up a rope.  Thank goodness that didn't happen.

At that stage in the discussion the pick was a 2nd. I guess making a 1st and Noesen was good enough.

Murray said Anaheim agreed on taking a prospect(Noesen) after we lost Alfie, BM told them he can't give up 2 roster players given that we just lost Alfie.

So it doesn't sound like this trade would have happened if Alfie didn't leave, Anaheim would keep insisting on 2 roster like they've wanted all along.

The fact that they reduced their asking price after Alfie was gone shows me, really, that they were still negotiating and not giving Bryan their best, last offer.  Alfie leaving basically strengthened Bryan's stance that they simply could not afford to give up two roster players.

That's Corvo.

Gryba and Wiercioch will get more 5on5, PK time and Corvo will be mostly PP depending on how things go.  I doubt they will acquire any 2nd pairing RHD on any sort of long term deal to lock out guys like Ceci in the future.

Here is the flood in China: http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Large_Format_Pix/POD/home.html?&pic=0
