So yeah, Garth Snow is definitely the worst GM ever... okay, in the discussion at least...
Matt Moulson, a guy who was a 3-time 30 goal scorer with Tavares, and John's close friend, traded away (which decimated a great 1-2 combo) with 3 picks (2 being 1st rounders) for Thomas Vanek, who ends up getting traded for Sebastian "I haven't done anything at a high level" Collberg and a 2nd, and oh yes, the Islanders may relinquish a 5th rounder if Montreal fails to make the third round I think it is ... GREAT MOVE BUDDY! So Moulson and 3 picks, two being 1sts with a potential 5th in conditions for a mid tier level prospect and a 2nd. Party on Garth! Party on Wang!
And speaking of the New York Islanders, how about that comeback? Coming back behind from 3-0 in the first two periods only to end up winning it 7-4 in the end against the very lowly Vancouver Canucks! Seven Islander goals in one period. A record worse for the Canucks! Remember how back in the Alex Auld days the Canucks were looking to help out their goaltending woes. Went from zero goalies in the stable to a Vezina candidate starter and a big blue chip prospect in Cory Schneider... in less than one year, both gone. Don't get me wrong, Eddie Lack has the potential to be better than both aforementioned goalies, but that was prior to his hip replacement, and with the idea he wouldn't be backstopping Vancouver between the pipes as a starter in these dark Tort days, as the acting starter into his rookie campaign. Well done Mike Gillis! Bravo! Maybe Bicoid18 is onto something.
