A Letter To Peter Chiarelli


Dear Peter,

I noticed that your team got blown out by the Hurricanes last night. That’s sucks.

The internet is saying that you are considering trading Tukka Rask and draft picks for Ilya Kovalchuk (possibly within the next 48 hours). Don’t be crazy Peter!

Knee jerk trades just don’t work. Don’t do anything for the next week or so. Youre not thinking rationally right now.

Tukka Rask is your number one goalie and will be for a long time. Ilya Kovalchuk is just a reincarnation of Phil Kessel.

Ask Mike O'Connell about knee-jerk trades. He traded Joe Thornton for Marco Sturm, Brad Stuart and Wayne Primeau. How crazy was that.

You don’t make a trade after a devastating loss just as you don’t tell a girl that you love her during or immediately after sex. You have to wait a bit.

So, please don’t do anything crazy Peter. Its supposed to rain for the next few days here in Boston. Just stuggle up with the wife, watch a few bad movies and try to forget what happened last night in Carolina.

Sincerely,
Masshole Sports
