I'd take O'Sullivan over Cole any freakin day of the week right now.

GREAT, the "How many shifts does Cole take off today" watch is back on.

sometimes I wonder how I support this team.

3/4/2009 4:07:21 PM

^ how is that...we didnt get Cole...did we?

3/4/2009 4:08:58 PM

Is it just me or could cole seem any less enthusiastic about coming back to Raleigh?

3/4/2009 4:09:18 PM

looks that way...

not happy with this

3/4/2009 4:09:21 PM

no, we essentially got O'Sullivan for Williams. Then moved O'Sullivan to EDM for Cole and a 2nd rounder.

3/4/2009 4:09:47 PM

nhl.com just says Kings trade O' Sullivan to Canes

3/4/2009 4:09:56 PM

is it confirmed that we have Cole and a 2nd rounder for Williams basically?

"More details/clarification on the O'Sullivan deal. There are other details to this, but sources confirm a three-way trade that sees Edmonton's Erik Cole end up back in Carolina, Los Angeles' Patrick O'Sullivan end up in Edmonton and Carolina's Justin Williams end up in Los Angeles."

Vulcan have you found that missing 2nd round pick?

what an absolute joke

3/4/2009 4:10:55 PM

super.

good ole canes look to the past, again.

3/4/2009 4:11:17 PM

Holy fuck.

This deal is SUPER SUPER SABADO STUPIDO.

"To sum it up, Carolina gets Cole, Edmonton’s fifth-rounder and Calgary’s second-round pick, Edmonton gets O’Sullivan and Carolina’s second-round pick, and Los Angeles gets Williams."

"The Carolina/L.A./Edmonton thing gets even more complicated. A source told ESPN.com that Buffalo traded forward Ales Kotalik to Carolina for a second-round pick. The Hurricanes then traded Kotalik to Edmonton for a second-round pick. In the end, the Oilers get both Kotalik and Patrick O'Sullivan today."

See it's shit like this makes me wonder that if Rutherford tells people that if his trade doesn't pan out that he'll take them back.


Cole back to Carolina

Vasichek came back too a year or to ago!!


WTF!!!!

Hmm we got a 5th round pick out of it and probably a better 2nd rounder, so that's good

EDIT: Nevermind it is CALGARY'S 2nd rounder so it is a worse pick

[Edited on March 4, 2009 at 4:24 PM. Reason : .]

3/4/2009 4:22:37 PM

I'm so fucking angry about this. Not just b/c we got a player who plays hard 1/3 of his shifts, but b/c it shows the TOTAL lack of thinking creatively or looking forward.

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT!!

We're getting Calgary's 2nd rounder, NOT Edmonton's.

3/4/2009 4:24:43 PM

wow if only we kept the assets we traded for, we'd be set.

3/4/2009 4:26:06 PM

The way it is worded, it might be 2 separate 2nd rounders. If thats the case I feel slightly less worse

3/4/2009 4:26:18 PM

Well at least we have a guy now who will go to the god damn net

3/4/2009 4:26:53 PM

why didnt we just take o'sullivan and the 2nd

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3/4/2009 4:28:13 PM

^ Yeah, but it's a toss-up as to whether or not he'll remember to bring the puck with him.

3/4/2009 4:28:28 PM

so we get a guy who can aid Staal in crashing the net, get rid of a guy that is made of glass, and get 2 picks to get younger.

actually i think it coudl be worse

3/4/2009 4:28:45 PM

I don't think we got 2 picks. We received Calgary's 2nd round pick from Los Angeles and then we gave either that one or ours to Edmonton. I wonder if the pick we gave Edmonton is going to be conditional based on if Cole resigns here or not.

PS: Laviolette says he loves the trade

3/4/2009 4:29:49 PM

Williams was signed longterm, Cole has a fucking MONTH left

3/4/2009 4:30:07 PM

probably rutherford keeping offense for the rest of the season then opening cap room at the end...who knows.

3/4/2009 4:31:15 PM

oh, cole's contract is the least of the problems here.

JR wouldn't bring him back without the intention of resigning him.

3/4/2009 4:32:16 PM

you mean like

Anson Carter
Mark Recchi
Doug Weight

3/4/2009 4:32:52 PM

BLOW IT UP

3/4/2009 4:32:53 PM

IMHO, Cole is a better player than a guy sitting in the training room.

Future considerations aside, this move will hopefully help us win now and get in the playoffs. I don't see what's worth getting so worked up about...

3/4/2009 4:34:28 PM

i can't imagine us trading for cole as a rental

if so, jesus fucking christ

3/4/2009 4:36:14 PM

I'm most upset b/c it's just going back to the same fucking well. I hope JR realizes there are a lot of other players that exist outside of former ones.

3/4/2009 4:36:27 PM

All I want to figure out is...

So we are pretty sure we have Cole, CGY 2nd, and EDM 5th

I want to know if we also had to give the other 2nd to Edmonton, or if we get to keep that. I can see no reason we had to sweeten the O'Sullivan for Cole deal with a 2nd.

3/4/2009 4:36:48 PM

per JR, we got Cole and a 5th rounder.. So we shipped our 2nd out as well.

3/4/2009 4:37:51 PM

I would bet that the second is conditional, like someone said previously.

what the fuck

I've traded my calm day for a Dogfish IPA. Much better move than JR could fucking dream of.

ESPECIALLY since it's a beer that I've NEVER FUCKING HAD!!

3/4/2009 4:42:10 PM

at least we get to play jokinen again on friday.

3/4/2009 4:43:12 PM

Shouldn't he be with his brother at his father's funeral?
