Rudy is NOT going to be happy

by jamestobrien on Jul 3, 2009 8:28 PM PDT Comment 8 comments

I don't have a ton of time for this, but I thought I'd get the ball rolling since nothing is up here right now.

Apparently, Ryan Smyth has been trading to the Los Angeles Kings.

My analysis: Bwahahahaha. More from RK and CO. to follow, as the trade details have yet to be hashed out. (H/T to Fear the Fin's Twitter page, heh).

Here's what Rudy wrote about Ryan Smyth for CLS:

1. Which player, for the love of God, do you NOT want to see in your team's sweater in the 09-10 season?

Ryan Smyth. He's a potential for movement since the Avalanche are going to be about as competitive as James O'Brien at the Playboy Mansion but I despise him with every fabric of my being. I hate him. I'd rather see my own birth from the doctor's perspective than have Ryan Smyth in a Kings' jersey. Also, I don't particularly like Mike Cammalleri and wouldn't want to be the idiot team that pays him $6 million dollars to shoot from his knees.

Yeah, it’s like bizarro Pronger Day, right? Anyway, I’ll leave it to you kids as I’ll be away from my comp for at least the next 24 hours.

It’s funny- every time Smyth is traded, tears are shed.

Rudy’s reaction just might be the highlight of my summer.

Update- Preissing, Quincey, and a fifth rounder is what the Kings gave up.

James' Big Day

James, clearly this means you should dust off the bathrobe because you’re about to get lucky with some bunnies at Hef’s place.

And I don’t see how this deal improves the Kings significantly. Smyth is overpaid for what he brings in production, whereas Quincey was a steal with a friendly contract. Does whoever’s running the Avs these days have compromising photos of Dean Lombardi?

I’m just waiting to hear a rational argument for why this deal benefits the Kings (and getting rid of Preissing hardly qualifies).

A Veteran Grinder

…Is not to be sneered at. The Kings have had “young potential” for about five years now; this is something they’ve needed. The guy can dish and score, and is happiest when he’s got sticks slashing his ankles.

I’m a bit surprised at the price paid for for him, but someone had to go the other way, and D men isn’t exactly something LA lacks…

I wonder what Rudy will do if Jack Johnson gets shipped off. Not feeding the rumors, but Rudy has the guy written into the depth chart in pen. So, I figure he’d be at least a little upset.

What a retarded ass move. Quincey is good. Preissing is… well, a backup defensemen incase a few guys get hurt. Ryan Smyth is an overpaid piece of shit. WTF did Dean-o want this deal for? The Avs should’ve been the ones giving something up to get rid of Smyth’s contract. Sorry, Rudy.

I decided to be an asshole at The Verizon Center in Washington DC when they were playing the Coyotes. I was going to add "P.S. Ovechkin is overrated" but my girlfriend talked me out of it.
