I think you mean Roloson not Rolston. At first I thought you were making a point about the Devils being a poorly run franchise THIS year since Rolston had been waived and recalled like a good solider. |

Hey Kool Aiders, your boy Wishart has already been sent to Bridgeport, he cant crack the team with Gervais, Reese, and Hillen on defense. You can hang your Wishart jersey next to your Papineau jersey. Wang & Snow get away with this BS because there are too many Kool Aiders drinking what they are serving. No wonder why the league wont step in. |

It's truly sad what a losing season can do to a fanbase. You can't make a snap judgement on this move. We don't know what we got back. I'm almost positive no one on this board has any idea who Wishart is or what he can be, heck, Fornabaio didn't know anything about him, and he covers the AHL. |

As Fornabaio said on his twitter, it may be a good thing he doesn't know him...signs of a good stay at home defenseman. |

You completely made that up. He was never an offensive Dman. Again, you, yes you, individually, making things up to bash the team. That is all you do. Ever. Others have noticed. |

Read the scouting reports, he has improved on offense, he will be Bridgeports 2nd leading scorer, but he does not hit and plays small. I think Yzerman knows alot more than Wang & Garfs excellent adventure does. Just more potential added to a steaming pile of potential, most of which doesnt pan out. |

Here's what I want to to do: Make a big replica of the Stanley Cup and put in big letters on it saying PARTICIPATION and leve it at the Coliseum the morning after the last game of the season when we have a lottery pick locked up. |

After they finally got the NHL to approve their 15-year, $100 million contract with Kovalchuk, the league still fined them $3 million and penalized them third-round and first-round draft picks. |

At what point does that call him an offensive dman? He's improved his offense..sounds like a good thing to me? |

Stop trolling. I am sure you would have said something negative if he came right up to the Isles. Something to the effect of, "Now our AHL-level defensive corps is complete. Another stellar move, Garth." If he has been in the AHL this season then there is no reason why he should immediately come up to the NHL because of a trade. |

This guy sound awesome!!!!!! Oh, source is the Tampa Bay website. You don't think it's a bit skewed? I wonder if this is what garth used as his research for his info. Afterall, he doesn't have a Director of Scouting anymore. |

I think it is funny how much hate is going on this page about a guy that nobody on here knows a lick about except for what they read on different blogs. This is all about ranting about everybodys hate of snow rather than the trade itself, end of story. I would like to see this kid play some. I guess that wont happen until we have some injuries this year or he is called up in the future. I was all for dealing Rollie while his value is up. So we will see if we got anything worth a damn. |

How's this: yet another kid coming in with FEWER veterans to help in his development. So the current kids are worse off, the future ones are worse off and the only ones who will be better off are the kids drafted before and after our picks. This kid sounds like Tom Poti. Wonder if he can eat peanutbutter? |
