rubberdinghy Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 It was great paying you 1.2 mill to do SFA....Everyone argued it was a good move for the future...now Bochenski and Arnason are gone...GREATEST TRADE EVER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Shitty deal. Arnason must be a major turd to not be motivated by being sprung from Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Welcome to the new NHL.I dont think anyone really argued that it was a trade for the future, as much as they were trying to say Ottawa was grabbing a 2nd line center for the playoffs. Didnt work out for them. I wonder who will give him a shot and what they will pay him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afro poppa Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Supposedly Arnason wouldn't accept a pay cut from 1.2 million to play for a perrenial contender.I bet he gets a 1 year incentive laden deal from someone in dire need of forwards...

Booche Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 By the way Dinghy, Ottawa paid for 5 weeks of his salary. That hardly works out to 1.2 million or whatever his pay was. Also, it should be noted that Bochenski wasnt even playing. Its hardly a terrible trade. Pay attention to any other team and you will see that stuff happening all the time. Wait and see if Brandon can do anything in the future and THEN you can whine about it. That's what us Montreal fans were doing for 10 years.

rubberdinghy Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 but his 1.2 still goes towards the cap or does it?...plus Morrison, that probably totalled close to 2 mill that they could have put towards someone else.Perhaps Mark Recchi.

Whitey Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Wipe those tears from your eyes David. You talk about Bochenski like he is some sort of saviour. The trade did not work, Muckler is a smart guy, get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberdinghy Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 how does the trade not working = muckler being a smart guy? and no...I don't think Bochenski was any sort of saviour...He traded away one guy, who could possible one day be a decent player (i'm not saying he'd be a 30 goal scorer), for another guy who played 19 games, who, they aren't resigning, and didn't help in the short or long terms no matter how you look at it, or depending on who you talk too.In the end...we lost 3 players and a draft choice, for nothing in return...Awesome.

guigsy Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 He traded away one guy, who could possible one day be a decent player (i'm not saying he'd be a 30 goal scorer) hey dingy, chin up, bud - you can get guys who might possibly be decent one day anytime. they're all over the place. dont worry, man. there's tons of guys who wont score 30 goals.

Jaimoe Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I love Ottawa's first round pick at this year's draft. A couple of years of seasoning and this kid Foligno could make you forget all about Bochenski.The Leafs once again had the league laughing at their picks.

Guest Low Roller Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I would like to compare the Bochenski/Arnason trade to the Marcel Hossa/Garth Murray trade in Montreal. Same premise, worse result... for Ottawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/Ottawa/2006/06/27/1655843-sun.htmlThe Ottawa GM defended his decision to ship winger Brandon Bochenski to Chicago, along with a second-round draft pick, in exchange for Arnason at the trade deadline. "Who said (Bochenski) was a good prospect?" said Muckler. "He had a good training camp and he had other opportunities when he was called up from (Binghamton), but he was a guy that we deemed to be expendable."

Booche Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Actually Roller, if I remember correctly, Hossa was going to be left unprotected based on roster moves at the start of the year so the Habs had to deal him or get nothing at all. Basically, your comparison is out of wack."Who said (Bochenski) was a good prospect?"Dinghy said, that's who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freak By Night Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 I finally had to weigh in on this topic.In my not so humble opinion, Arnason's a bum.Maybe another team will give him a chance, but if he doesn't pull up his socks next season, he's done. If the Blackhawks give Bochenski the right linemates, he will be a top scorer within three seasons. Mark my words.Muckler? yeah, he's still a smart hockey man, but that trade was a mistake.
