Edmonton and Minnesota Deal

Really? Then nevermind lol. Drew needs to gives more. I veto as well.

I set a precedence when I put veto on the Dubnyk deal and stood by it, so I would be quite the hypocrite to approve this:

Sorry i will also have to

I honestly didn't know that either, I guess that is the base of the deal and changes it up but as I stated in the Dubnyk deal occasionally you have to take risks to get ahead.

But sometimes a risk doesn't look that positive... Dubnyk at least has a strong chance to be the starter in Edmonton. Irving still needs to sign somewhere, and the fact that Calgary has three guys ahead of him in the depth chart is brutal. I could see the deal being solid if the goalie going back was Gibson, but Irving looks to be a long shot with that revelation.


The point of the trade committee is to flag a deal that looks bad long term for an organization. We understand that some teams need to take a risk, but the risk needs to calculate the right way. The kuznetsov deal last season was a solid calculated risk as Minny had no plans of keeping the guys he traded anyway. This does not look like a solid calculated risk and in my mind, could destroy the Minnesota franchise in the future.

Irving is a bum.  I live in Calgary and he isn't even on the radar.

True, I meant that teams have to take a risk if Irving was signed. I also don't think it is a good deal if Irving isn't even signed on yet. I thought Irving would have had a good chance after spending a good time in their AHL system and playing well when given the chance in the NHL. Oh well, we'll try again another time haha.

I must have been attached to the WJCH Irving that I saw.

Deal vetoed!
