DarrenDreger: Aulie to Tampa. Details to follow.

A little surprising, but, hopefully the return is decent.

 

[Screwball]

Interesting, hope I'm not letdown. I liked his game.

SOMETHING! - #pulledbackin

 

[sampson]

Apparently not a roster player from TB.

For a minor leaguer?

 

[Manson]

Whoa, just heard the return, that is terrible.

 

[bustaheims]

I like Aulie and all, but, he is replaceable. Tampa's probably a nice fit for him in terms of getting ice time.

For Carter Ashton? Nice.

 

[maplesyrup]

Nice... Maybe our future "power forward?"

Carter Ashton... size and oomph.

I guess this is a good case of dealing from a position of strength to address a weakness.

 

[Damian]

meh.... who knows

 

[Kin]

At the very least he sounds like a villain from an 80's movie set in a country club.

 

[maplesyrup]

Maybe Holzer gets that look now.

 

[Omallley]

Whoa, just heard the return, that is terrible.

For the Leafs?

No, I didn't even know the return when I posted that, I was just messing around.
