Why? Would you really be scared if he ended up West?

Aside from your Kings as a rare-case, how many big splashes ever account to anything for Cup success?

Trade Deadline day is always good drama but ultimately, overrated with who goes where IMO.

Vanek to Habs?!?!?!?

Yumcha

Vanek is a Hab. Going to Isles is still TBA...

Moog-Type-S

He stayed in the East!!!

No sucks or sharts!

Doh! Pulled a with the ...

Tim Thomas to Stars for Dan Ellis. Old as fuck, but solid backup for Finlandia. Plus Ellis sucked most of the time.

Poor Leafs...everyone around them improved......Leafs stay pat.


Again....Frattin was the answer :wink:

Yumcha

Waldorf, you wound me...the ultimate insult.

Yumcha

2nd round pick and prospect going back to Isles for Van-neck.

Yumcha

Annnnd with that, Snow got with his Vanek gamble...OUCH.

Vanek to the Habs

black label

So we're replacing the German with a Slovak, that may work. Apparently the b's also claimed defenseman Corey Potter from the oil. I'm pretty sure potter will be starting on the 9th floor with a sign on him that says "in case of emergency break glass."

Yumcha

And Ack pulls a too with the ...

Moog-Type-S

That's cheap....but I wonder who the prospect was.

Considering the Kings gave up a 2nd and Frattin for Gaborik

Yumcha

And no offense...while Gabby is a good player, I would take Vanek over him. So, again, Isles got ...

CCColtsicehockey

How long till Snow is fired? Can't be long. That whole Vanek deal was a terrible terrible decision. Still not sure why he messed with the Tavares and Moulson pairing.

Yumcha

Collberg is the prospect? Wow, ouch @ Isles...

Yumcha

Him and Gillis are the dead men walking among GMs I think.

Yumcha

Essentially, the Isles gave up a 1st rounder to get rid of Matt Moulson.

Talk about full-retard. I should be GM of the Isles if it is THAT easy.

Yumcha

Caps apparently are getting Halak?


And FWIW, to get Shoulderwand from the Preds, the Pink Things send Eaves, 3rd rounder, and a prospect...so, that's how bad Vanek's market was.

Moog-Type-S

No doubt. Must have been a VERY late deadline deal, considering what the Kings paid for Gaborik, they could have had Vanek.

Strange.

Meanwhile Gillis, Snow, and Sather win the Stupid of the League Award

Moog-Type-S

Perhaps because everyone in the know says Vanek will only sign with the North Stars.....so you really only have a guaranteed rental.

Yumcha

Minny? What...why...? Not exactly a Cup destination. The North Stars are not bad but, they are not an elite team.

black label

This is bad news for bruins fans everywhere. Vanek has been a killer to the bruins no matter where he plays, him in Montreal could be very very bad for beantown.

Vancouver pres said they didn't get the right offer for Kesler, but that he got offers from everywhere. AKA they were asking too much

Moog-Type-S

I gotta say I'm a bit geeked having Gaborik and Carter as a one two punch.

Maybe the LeMoogy's will actually score some goals now

Moog-Type-S

^^ Been on a scoring rampage since the Oly break

Moog-Type-S

So why did the Sucks dump Pancakes, and do nothing to replace him?

It's Playoff Penner, what you want, not regular season Penner....then again he was having a pretty good season to boot?

Sucks may have just gotten schooled at the deadline.

Yumcha

So...question: Does Louuuuuu have a better chance to win a Cup in Miami or in Vancouver...?

Rounder

Garth Snow is probably the worst GM in the league right now.

Traded: Moulson, a first rounder, a second rounder and a fifth* rounder.

Gets: Prospect, second rounder*.

*IF the habs MAKE the playoffs, isles get the second rounder and trade a fifth rounder. If habs MISS the playoffs, isles DO NOT get the second rounder, and have effectively traded Moulson, a first and a second for a prospect. http://www.hockeysfuture.com/prospec...tian_collberg/

Vanek was a Golden Gopher

U of Minnnnnnininsota

Yumcha

Pens get Stempniak.

Yumcha

So, Goc and Stempniak...I dunno, as a casual observer, I would've gone for some defensive depth. But, that's just me.

Rounder

we needed more scoring on our bottom 6 forwards. I can live with it.

Moog-Type-S

You are crazy!

Address Letang? Nope
Address Fleury? Nope

IMHO D and goaltending issues are gonna come back to haunt them.

dom

I'm going to argue that Leaves are about to add a impact player through injury return. Dave Bolland should be back within the next few games. More impactful than anyone that was moved today IMO.
