That's what TSN said. He was thrown in just to make the money work for St.Louis.

I don't even remember those games, so I guess that says enough.
Interesting that we didn't move Hejda, wonder if they try to re-sign him this offseason, he's still solid. Better than Guenin/Holden/Stuart.

Dang, got rid of Brewer for Holzer?

I have to say I'm quite happy with the deadline this year, Cole adds speed and gritty scoring potential, Zid gives us that booming right handed shot and excellent offensive abilities we have been needing while being decent defensively. On top of that we didn't give up that much and have some insurance with the conditional agreements on the picks. Of course both guys are older but they both bring assets we need and are far from useless and washed up.
This also frees up space to go after Green or even try again with Phaneuf in the offseason, I have to say, Holland actually did well compared to last years pickup of Legwand.

Yeah we're fine. We have good enough prospects.
I'm just shocked Murray turned around and fixed his bad pickups like Brewer (he was fine his one game before a foot injury sidelined him for two months) and Bourque. Traded Heatley the other day too.
Came out with Wiz to improve D and some skill in Sekac who's looked pretty good.
If BB can't win with this lineup, he's gotta get fired.

Glad that Jokinen got traded to a playoff team, he deserves that with all of the games he has under his belt.
the best trades are the ones where both parties win!
Mark Giodanio out for season. That may have cost Flames the playoffs. I'm surprised they didn't go for Phaneuff with that news.
Never happy about a player being injured, but it does reduce the amount of teams pushing on Vancouver's playoff spots. Now just down to LA, MIN, SJS, and WPG

That's a really good deal considering what we're paying Milan Michalek.

The Flames were the only thing standing between the Kings and a playoff spot. Better start prepping for that second round matchup now, Brucie.

Sharks can turn it around. They're healthy and talented. Just need to get over whatever mental block they're up against.

If the Sharks were to win the two upcoming games against Vancouver, that would be big. But it also seems unlikely. The Blues couldn't take them down. :-/
Summary of Sharks trades:
-Sharks Acquire a Conditional Draft Selection from the Islanders in Exchange for Forward Tyler Kennedy
-Sharks Acquire Forward Ben Smith from the Blackhawks in Exchange for Andrew Desjardins
-Sharks Acquire Defenseman Karl Stollery from the Avalanche in Exchange for Forward Freddie Hamilton(who?)
-Tye McGinn Claimed off Waivers by Coyotes
-Sharks Acquire 2016 Fourth-Round Draft Pick in Exchange for James Sheppard
3rd & 4th line shuffling it seems.

We'll trade you our Murray for your Murray
GM of the Year Bob Murray? Have to throw in a first or second.
Bryan did well for us drafting Getzlaf and trading for the pick to get Perry.
I'm sad knowing Bryan Murray has terminal cancer. :-(
Eh.......that series isn't really a good measuring stick for most of our players. Shep is a good player though, he's fast, physical, and a decent playmaker. His offensive instincts are lacking though, his finish is almost non-existent most nights. I think he'll do well for you guys though and I'm rooting for the Rangers in the yoffs.
His kid is an excellent player agent.

I was thinking the same thing. If there's one thing that can't be turned down in the Internet Age, it's a slightly poorly written letter from a child.
With Kennedy, Shep, and Desi gone our bottom six depth has been obliterated. I still don't think we're going to make it, because the team is just not good enough to.
Hamilton is a decent prospect, projected to be a mostly defensive bottom six forward. He had a couple chances to play up here and didn't do much with them. Tierney's emergence made him expendable.

As long as the Kings don't make it in, I'll be happy.
If they do though. WE'LL FUCKING BRING IT
edit: actually I'd really only be happy if we win the Cup.

Well, at least the Avs retained half of Talbot's salary.

That's the only source of true happiness. The Kings failing isn't happiness, it's just the absence of anguish. And more importantly, the absence of Kings fans.

Whatever it takes to get him the fuck out of here
Seems guaranteed, more guys should be available and prices shouldn't be so dumb. I'll be really surprised if Eller & Emelin are Habs next season. Hopefully he can find a taker for DD too.

I'm guessing the guys won't join the game until Ducks game on Wednesday.
We have to stare back at Jiri...
Free Agency/Trade, need a top 6 winger now.
He looked really good when we played Edmonton last week, and plays our style. I think he'll be great behind Subban / Markov and not having the pressure of being a top guy on him.
