I don't know why Dallas did this trade.
Ryader was 2nd on the team in scoring.
Cole is a couple years older and had 6 points on the season.
Dallas also gave a pickQuote:

How many times has a decent scoring Ryder been traded/given up on?
This guy must be a serious prick to warrant this.
Then again, I never heard any bad stuff about Teddy Donuts. . .
****ing dumb.
I don't get this. Cole is supposed to be a better all-around player, but damn Dallas is getting older instead of acquiring prospects to help Benn and Eriksson in the future.
Wait, why do I bother again? :D
I don't think Cole has been the same since he broke his neck. Before then, he was an absolute beast.Quote:

Looks like Nieuwendyk needs to keep those training wheels on a while longer.
