Having read Brad Thomas' recent blog, I can't help but jump aboard the Trade Martin Gerber For Tyler Arnason Bandwagon.
Why?
Because it's Tyler Fucking Arnason!
Could you envision the conversation that would take place in Francois Giguere's office.
[knocking at the door]
"Come in." ~ Francois Giguere
[Arnason opens door]
"You wanted to see me?" ~ Arnason
"Yeah, come on in and sit down Tyler." ~ Giguere
[Arnason sits down]
"Tyler, I've called you in to let you know that you've been traded to the Senators." ~ Giguere
"Oh...for what?" ~ Arnason
"Martin Gerber." ~ Giguere
"Wasn't he on waivers? Couldn't you have had him for nothing?" ~ Arnason
"Well, yes. But, as an organization, we felt that giving up on you was better than giving up nothing." ~ Giguere
[Arnason gets up out of chair and leaves the room]
"I'm worse than nothing?" ~ Arnason asks himself
Talk about a demoralizing scenario. It'd be great. Besides, as Sens fans with nothing to lose for the rest of the season, just think of the questions that would arise from an Arnason return:
Would Arnason report to the Senators out of condition like he did when they first acquired him from the Blackhawks in 2006?
Have his cheeks gotten any fucking bigger?
Would he be able to register a goal this time around? We definetely know that he won't be a healthy scratch in the Playoffs this time. Or will he rot in the pressbox as prospects like Regin, Zubov and Zach Smith pass him by?
Which trade will go down worse in Senators history: Arnason for Bochenski and a 2nd rounder or Arnason for Gerber?
For the second time, will I bump into a drunken Arnason swooning a lady-friend in the Kanata Centrum parking lot and let him sarcastically know how awesome he is?
Would Bryan Murray sell this trade like Muckler did at the 2006 Trade Deadline and say, "Well, we had to do SOMETHING!"
Oh the possibilities!
