NHL Trade Deadline talk

[Celtics_Champs]

It's not a bad deal value wise but is it enough to get Pitt going...no. Pitt will be bounced in the first round by one of the top 4 teams (Boston, Washington, NJ, Philly).

That is true. If you were expecting more the it certainly can be considered a let down.

Lol. I enjoy the trade a little more now. Didn't give up much to get him.

That's weird. Boston gave up a lot to get Recchi and Pittsburgh gave up nothing to get Guerin.

Meh, Hunwick clearly passed Lashoff, Bruins management really was not too high on him. Karsums was just an AHL player, thats it. plus that 2nd rounder we get, that could be nice.

Hejduk apparently going to be gone from Colorado (In French)

If Montreal is the team that gets him then it's not a good move for them. They don't need another skilled winger, they need a power forward down the middle to put some fire into that dressing room.

Pitts would knock off Philly.

I don't think so, Philly has some good defensive forwards that could neutralize Crosby and Malkin.

And the same can be said for the Pens.

Too bad they have no defense or goaltending.

Ok, so it is not a bad deal at all.

If you're complaining about giving a 3rd rounder for Bill Guerin, you are one pessimistic hockey fan.

Philly? Pens own the Flyers. The Flyers don't have what it takes to win a playoff series against the Pens and that is goaltending and defense.

EDIT - I'd even take the Pens over Washington with the additions now.

I don't see that happening, just too much skill on that Caps team. Maybe if (MAYBE) Fleury stays consistent and plays well, you'd have a chance.

Hejduk speculated to apparently going to be gone from Colorado (In French)

I thought he said he wasn't waiving his NTC whatsoever. . .

Wonder what he's worth.

OK, I didn't know Boston was so low on Lashoff. In that case, both trades are good values for both teams.

Unless you're the Habs, and all french Canadian goaltenders always stand on their heads vs. us -_-

Washington has talent up front, but their defense and goaltending is suspect. Playoffs are a whole new game from the regular season.

Apparently Neil to the Panthers.

No, you were right, at first sight, you think, damn we gave all this up? It is steep, but I don't mind it.

Man, speaking of Florida, I wish Gainey would make a move for Horton.

Washington is all about offense. No matter who they play, they will always score goals. So it's like I said, it depends on whether or not Fleury plays well with consistency.

I don't think Horton is going anywhere. Florida would be dumb to trade him.

[Snayr]

K, so apparently it's Neil and Kelly gone to the Panthers... we'll see if this is true or not.

Obviously, but I'd give up a boatload for him. Kid is a stud, and such a good contract.

lol at Eklund, Gaborik to LA is an e4...why would LA deal for Gaborik when he's a FA and they aren't making the playoffs...

Looks like Florida is going to be buyers. Good for them.

Why do the Kings do any of the things they do?

Gaborik, Brown, Kopitar would look nice, though.
