Raider pick up Mike McDonald
BANNED
Clark said he didn't want to aquire just any warm body...what do you think you just did?
Well Mike..get used to sitting in section 8.
All-Star
Picked up a 17 yr old d-man for basically nothing. If we are selling then I like this move. We didn't have a 17 yr old D-man on our roster.

Oh sorry I didn't realize we had to get excited of the HUGE aquisition of Mike McDonald :skeptical .I guess P.A's gonna make a run at the cup and Mike will lead them there.Clark is too cheap to give up anything.Mike's going first overall in the NHL draft...

too cheap to give up????????? your getting 17 year old 6'2 210lbs dman for a 7th round pick nothing wrong with that. do you see anyone one else right now getting anything at all. should the raiders just trade all there players, just so they can say they traded at the deadline would that make you happy. you have no idea what is being offered. right now the whole league is being cheap i guess. remember most teams are still in the playoffs right now

What does Clark plan on doing next year to stay competative when all the stars are gone?Win 7 games?We aren't going to make the same playoff run we did last year,and with the notion of Chipper,Thelen,Polak,Novak,Schafer,Byers,and Aki all gone what are we planning to do?Rebuild for another 5 years?We have one decent playoff run in the last decade and we think were a playoff team?No,we are the most offensively challanged team with stars imagine when we don't have those guys next year.I'm just ticked that Clark isn't gonna address our competativeness for the season's to come.Mike's probably a fine player but you may not want to hear this but we need to deal some of our top guys to stay decent.

Im sure there trying to deal those players but it seems like its hard getting rid of players this year, look at how many deals have been made so far. I guess its not over yet but i mean we needed a 7th dman and we got a 17 year old so thats good. nobody wants to part with much this year it seems. i guess its easy sitting here and speculating we have no idea what clark is trying to offer or has offered.

I agree we needed a 7th D-man and it comes no better than a 17 year old.I just think next year when those guys leave next year we get nothing for them going,at least if you deal we get something to look forward to.Yeah we make the playoffs than get bumped in the first round..all for nothing.I could care less if Brandon makes the playoffs or not cause I know if we made it we are done in round one,and the same goes to PA,if we don't make it we get a high draft pick and a high import draft pick,but at least Brandon has something to work with next season.PA's leading scorer would be Hellyer.Urgh!I know it's tough to trade guys right now,but that is getting old.Yeah teams are competative for the last playoff spots,but do they have a chance at beating the upper echelon teams?
Sniper
but yes with the team we have now we can bet the upper teir teams i have no clue on why they cant this team isnt that bad if we could of cashed in on all those shootout losses we would be in second place right now maybe we need those old terry simpson days if the boys played bad they sat on the bus with the equipment on and as soon as they get back to the AHC its time to skate. These boys need to realise they are as good as the team. it time we stopped babying them tough love never hurt anyone
