PrintYou may remember I did a comic post of this kind when it came to the Lauri Korpikoski trade. Since that got a good review, I hope you all enjoy this. Here is the exclusive transcript of what transpired behind closed doors in a face to face meeting between Glen Sather and Rick Dudley:
Sather: How big of a gambler are you?
Dudley: I don't know, why?
Sather: Let's make a trade, I want Todd White.
Dudley: What? For who?
Sather: Boogaard.
Dudley: No thanks.
Sather: How about Brashear?
Dudley: Your kidding right?
Sather: Tell you what Ricky, let's flip a coin.
Dudley: For Boogaard or Brashear?
Sather: Call it in the air.
Dudley: No, not doing that.
Sather: It's heads.
Dudley: What?
Sather: Alright you take Brashear.
Dudley: Hold on a second.
Sather: Phew, that contract is off the books.
Dudley: Brashear is terrible Glen.
Sather: No he's not.
Dudley: He's not?
Sather: You want Rissmiller too? He likes to sit in my chair in the press box. It's getting annoying. And I keep telling him to get his own chair but he won't list-
Dudley: I'm not trading Todd White.
Sather: You are trading Todd White. To me. We are going over this now.
Dudley: No we're not.
Sather: Yes we are.
Dudley: We are?
Sather: For Brashear and Rissmiller.
Dudley: I'm taking Rissmiller too?
Sather: Alright it's settled.
Dudley: It is?
Sather: Sign here.
Dudley: I don't have a pen.
Sather: Don't worry, I signed it for you.
Dudley: What?
Sather: Thanks Ricky.

Wish it was "tails" though
I’d rather have Boog gone than Brashear. Brashear is at least off the books after this season.

Great post
gotta give Sather credit so far this offseason. He’s been solid.
Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitudes...
Nicely done!
It makes you wonder though, I don’t get how he pulls some of these off? He probably uses the same tactics on himself when signing guys like Redden.
Welcome back sir, you’ve been missed. Are you still overseas?

yeah i’m currently working & living in Tel-Aviv…y’know, waiting for a war to start or something. the only thing that sucks is how much i’m gonna have to pay for NHL center ice this year…. :). hopefully i’ll be in NY for X-mas to catch a couple of games @ the garden, and feel like a real fan again.
i can’t believe the site is still growing in popularity! look at all these people, you guys have done an amazing job. i’ll be here all season long :)…
