The team wasn't going anywhere with Eberle and a trade should have been made. The team is going to make the playoffs this year and Weal is a big reason why. Adding a good defenceman to the mix makes this team stronger. I give the Pats a thumbs up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-23903077725367293432012-01-10T22:13:30.360-06:002012-01-10T22:13:30.360-06:00Allan, I think you are talking about Jobke.Allan, I think you are talking about Jobke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-43901598939107449542012-01-10T19:51:54.601-06:002012-01-10T19:51:54.601-06:00Brutal trade.

Chad had a 2nd round pick to play with and he did. I think its a good trade and one that could arguably get this team to an Eastern Conference final. How many people thought that before the year started?<br /><br />AllanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-54587608580806429002012-01-10T15:35:06.155-06:002012-01-10T15:35:06.155-06:00I can't argue with what Brian says.

I'm sure he has looked at what's coming up in the future and whether or not he has the horses in the cupboard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-80726633845268949472012-01-10T15:33:45.611-06:002012-01-10T15:33:45.611-06:00WOW!!!

We needed some offensive help not another d-man. Giving up Blidstrand and a 1st and 2nd round pick is far too much for Marincin.

Marincin is a good player, but I think he gave up too much to get him. <br /><br />BrianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-58720851625806313672012-01-10T10:59:06.478-06:002012-01-10T10:59:06.478-06:00I hope Chad knows what he's doing here.

Looking at the future, our defence corps might be the best in the Eastern Conference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
