Attaboy Fat Feaster. Let’s tally up here. You trade a 29 goal player from the MVP line (Prospal) and get a minor leaguer with NO points this season. You sign 32 year old Dan Boyle to a multi year multi-million dollar contract, which probably could have purchased several other promising defensemen.

You deal your biggest prior mistake in Richards, so we’re rid of the league’s worst +/- record, which is good, but then you stupidly sweeten the pot and trade the Olympic Gold Medal Champion Swedish goalie in Holmqvist, who never REALLY got a chance to prove himself under Tort’s poor coaching behind the leagues’ worst defense. How many goalies are you going to burn out with your poor logic and Tort’s poor system.  So we’re left then with a goalie brought up from the minors this year in Ramo and another minor leaguer you’ll get from Dallas. Way to ‘bridge the gap’ you putz. Is it your goal to put together a minor league team or a college hockey level team so that it’ll be on par with the Tortorella’s coaching abilities and your flawed management skills?

The rest of the league must be laughing. All we’ve got at the end of this is a bunch of untested minor leaguers. You’re killing hockey in the Tampa Bay area. I hope someday upper management will deal you two buffoons out so real hockey can come here.
