Also it might have been missed, Petry to the Habs. Not sure how he'll work out. He's a big ? to me because Oilers suck. Maybe he'll do very well with a good team.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Not having a draft pick won't make them choke this year. These moves make them closer and that is all any team can do. If it doesn't work they have other players they can move in the next few years for picks. There is always a way.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wataching TSN last night they showed the guys with the longest trade deadline streaks, where they've made a move on deadline day. Sather...12 years in a row. lol I can't fault NYR for going for it. Your windows are so small, that they have to do it. You'll deal with the no picks later, if you have to. If you win, it's worth it for these guys.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Voynov to Philly apparently. Good lord, this is terrible.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Unless Crosby gets traded today, that is the craziest deal of the day.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Coburn traded :multi

Voynov news :BANG

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Voynov stuff is BS, just an fyi. I did find it hard to believe.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Petry is...alright. Nothing special but he's alright. It was a fair, boring trade.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I get to see Yandle and Cole, and maybe more, on Wednesday when I'm at Wings/Rangers.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Exactly this. It's the Detroit Fucking Red Wings.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I keep thinking about these rumors of Weiss and Kindl for Elisha hottie's husband. I don't like this for the playoffs (want depth of Weiss with being unsure of Helm and Mule) plus years 4-6 when Kindl and Weiss's contracts are done, Wings paying Dion 7mil per for 3 years....Errrr.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Timmy. I'm going to Flyers/Wings on the 14th. Just wanted you to know that. Carry on.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wings in Philly...that's a guaranteed loss for the Wings recently. lol I've got Rangers on Wednesday and Lightning on the 28th.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

TSN saying Wings and Leafs talking. Sportsnet saying Wings not interested. Oooo k

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I may be going this Thursday too against the Blues.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So apparently some people took the day off work for this.

That's a little crazy.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I was off last year for it, but I had errands to run. Deadline was just a bonus.

@SouvenirCity: Join me in praying the Predators don't land Phil Kessel today, won't you?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Monday is always an off day for me. Pretty sweet the deadline is always a Monday

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Apparently Leafs want Brendan Smith and Weiss for Dion but Wings keep the full price of Dion. If Leafs pick up 1-2mil, I'm sort of ok with the deal, but not without it. I can't see paying Dion 7mil being a #4 dman, 3 years after Weiss's contract is up. Hope this doesn't happen. Zidlicky seems to be the best option to me, if anything.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

A good team like this, is where he needs to go. He needs to not have the weight of the franchise on his shoulders.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Zybnynk Michalek to the Blues

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So am I the only one in here that only uses their Twitter account for just this one weekend every year? I have zero followers, have never tweeted anything even once, and the only people I follow are McKenzie, Dreger, LeBrun, Steve Whyno (Caps guy), Elliot Friedman and Gord Miller. That's it. After today I won't even open twitter for another 363 days :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I use it primarily for hockey, but follow all the time. I don't use it (to actually send tweets) like I used to.

Re: The NHL Thread

Wings trying to get the Leafs to do (what I wanted) to eat $2mil per. I ain't totally stupid, no matter what my wife says.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Leafs want Brendan smith. The wings want the leafs to assume two mil a year on Phaneuf contract.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I keep going back to depth, which the Wings just got with cole and then give it up with sending Weiss to TO. While Weiss has been a huge disappointment, I just worry about health. If Helm is only gone short term, and Mule comes back before the playoffs, then ok, but those are big IF's.

Quit copying me dude.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Gord Miller saying Wings thinking price is too high. Not over, but not happening quite yet. Love Holland trying to make a splash though. Wonder if it heats up closer to 3pm.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yeah I don't know this offseason could be a shitshow for Bowman trying to clear cap space. He may have to trade Sharp unfortunately.

Really hope he stays around because it's looking like the contract he was signed to was a pretty solid one. He really hasn't shown much in the way of decline the past couple of years except for maybe a little bad luck with the shot. He still gets more shots off than any other forward on the Hawks and drives possession very well, even when he is being thrown around the lineup like Q has been doing the past couple of weeks.

Vermette trade could be huge if it allows the Toews line to be free of tougher competition. Hopefully they are realizing that it is time to get Toews a better opportunity to drive the scoring now that Kane is out.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I mean...for Phil and Nashville that's best case scenario (depending on what Nashville would give up for him)...but for the rest of the league, not so much.

Holy hell, that seems like a lot for Dion.
