2nd and a conditional 5th. That's a good pickup for MTL.

Bolts get Coburn, who is a nice pickup. But I really hate to see Gudas go, although I'm assuming he wasn't going to contribute at all this year.

I'm not sure about this one, I feel like the bolts and the rangers have paid too much for their trades. with that said, I think the Rangers are now much better with Yandle

The Coburn trade...that is a really steep price they paid. But they did also get two 2nds for Connolly.
TB appears to be all in for a Cup run.
Petry brought back a lot less than what many figured. The Habs are also all in for the Cup this yr.

I hate trade deadline day because the Ducks GM talks a big game and then does nothing! With all the defense that is off the table I would prefer nothing to saving Toronto's arse by taking Phaneuf off their hands. Wouldn't surprise me in the least though.
Despite the team success the mismanagement has been ridiculous. What was a huge cap space has been filled by rejects with additional term who are all on waivers (Bourque, Bryzgalov) or should be (Brewer). It's starting to become apparent to the fan base. They have such flexibility and then pilfer it away to improve laterally. Today is going to be depressing.
On the plus, Sekac recorded another assist on Perry's opening goal last night.

Know how you feel....The Hawks generally sit around doing nothing. They've done some nice things the last couple of days though. I'm not sold on the Timmonen trade though. He hasn't played all year, and that gives me that not so fresh feeling. Love the Vermette deal because it fills a whole that has existed since 2009. Still feel like they can move a couple of more pieces for a grit player. Lots of talk about Sharp and his off ice scoring.....I've never been a fan of him. I just feel like the Hawks have enough guys who will shoot from the outside. Teams that win the cup seem to always have one or two guys that will go get dirty goals.

I told you guys you would like him, this kid is skilled. I think it was a good trade for both teams, as we needed a bit more size and grit up front.

Wow, good team loyalty man. They are a good team, with no real playoff experience though. Anything can happen, but just making the playoffs is something to build off of. Look at Colorado last year, I knew they'd be out 1st round, 2nd round for sure. They made a few moves like a contender would, even though they were not one, and it hurt them. I got alot of people mad at me, but I'm a realist. I can see the Isles maybe winning a series, but thats it. I do love the Isles as well, so that statement comes from the head, not the heart.I love how nobody talks about the Isles in the East...our 2 losses to you were both on the tail-end of back to back games (wouldn't discount them either)....its going to be a epic battle for the team who comes out of the East
And I have been watching the Isles for 40yrs
Back in the early 80's I hated Gretzky (respected his talent, but hated him), so it was obvious to cheer for the Isles. And, lol, who didn't like Billy Smith.
Who knows though, my habs could be swept first round as well. That's why hockey is so awesome, and playoff pools are so hard to win!

Ya, could be interesting. A total steal, if he works out and signs with us next season. My buddy who's an Oilers fan, says Petry was painful to watch develop, but has come into his own this year. Time will tell.

Agreed, after so many bad years I would take 1 round win and I would be happy, they have a young core and should be good for quite some time.... Battling Billy, loved that guy

I have heard that he would most likely test the UFA market

The Isles made some shrewd moves this past year, and seem to have a core of guys finally to play with Tavares. Not sure when they move to the new building, but I think their days of not being a desirable destination are over, people will want to play there. This team could be good for awhile!

I think the way Anders Lee has stepped in and has piled up the points just shows how Tavares makes those around him better. Not taking away from Okposo, I like him, but since Lee has been on the top line he has been just as productive I think.

Lee was producing when he was just on the "kid line" but that production has gone up since playing with JT. They tried several players after Okposo went down with limited results.....Anders seems to be flourishing, Bailey (who is the fans whipping boy) has quietly had a nice season point wise playing on the top line

Mr. Inconsistent
So what do you think they do when Okposo comes back?
Scott Cali

Depends on Kyle's conditioning, when Kyle is ready I would guess he goes back to the top line and Lee gets moved back down. Bailey is more of a play-maker then a finisher so I would think he would stay

Yup, waiting for that last minute blockbuster to appear....haha!
Nice (critical) win for Jets yesterday too. Their fore-check looks good!

I don't disagree that the bolts overpaid, certainly more than I thought they would give up, but it was a needed piece.

I really like the Jets, definitely pulling for them. How do you like Myers and Stafford so far? Stafford got a bad rap in Buffalo but he's got some talent.
