Kovalchuk Part VI-The Return of Lombardi?-UPDATE IK A Devil again thread in NHL TALK

Wow, it seems that as every day passes this thread goes deeper and deeper into the abyss.

What's the fun in life if you play it too safe and never leave the house because you're afraid you might get run over crossing the street? Dean's afraid of leaving the house and over analyzes every potential doomsday scenario as life passes him by. He's no different than the bubble boy, except his bubble is self imposed. More of this, and lieweekly and An****z will pop his bubble.

Oh, and I also like pizza in addition to ice cream sandwiches. Where's the best pizza place that Kovi would enjoy? (Just to keep this tread on topic)

What about the guys that end up with herpes bringing the wrong girl home? You still envy them?

Sather?

Oral or genital herpes?

Or wake up the next morning, and see what the girl really looks like.... and then finds out a month later she is pregnant..

It's foolish to think the guy is doing NOTHING all day. He's making calls and trying to make deals; they just haven't been the right fit. Teams know we have holes, and will attempt to use that as leverage. Dean won't be impatient, and won't take a deal that he believes he isn't getting the upper hand in. And yet, a bunch of people get cranky about his inactivity.

If you don't want him to do "something lame", why are you criticizing him if that is all that's on the table at the moment? Or are you really arguing that he isn't trying?

Your creative interpretation of what I think is way off.
But, I did say "he doesn't seem to want to", so lets just say if I was unclear, then I'll try it again.

I don't want him to make a hasty or short-sighted trade.
I don't think he's doing nothing or not trying.

I just recognize that he's sort of throwing this statement out there like it's a big accomplishment or sign of progress,
that now we're ready to make a splash. Well it WAS a really big deal the first time he said it,
but now as a fan base I think it's normal to start wondering when and what.

Pretty normal stuff, really.

I guess what I meant by "he doesn't seem to want to" is that
he doesn't want to right now for whatever price is being asked.
That's his prerogative, but the problem for me is that he keeps teasing
by dangling this "we're ready to do something" statement out there.

Make the right trade at the right time and you're a good GM.
Cry wolf and I get irritated. Sue me.
