Official NHL Trade Deadline 2009 Thread

[pand75]

Best time of the year!

[pand75]

Also, go to www.tsn.ca (http://www.tsn.ca) for live streaming and also a live trade ticker.

and as much as it hurts for me to post this, Eklund beat TSN to Brad Richards last year, and it's fun to see what he comes up with. http://www.hockeybuzz.com/

[xbrokendownx]

good idea..i was thinking about this

JBouw to NJ (e59843953)

[pand75]

Havelid fills in your J-Bo. Devils do nothing today, unless it's Guerin.IMO

[xbrokendownx]

honestly if we get guerin ill be pissed

[pand75]

That's really all I see them doing, but I think they should stand pat. With Marty back, they are prime for a huge run.

[bobbo8]

Best time of the year!
I think July 1 is more exciting. Way more action lol. I just cant wait for the first one to go through, hopefully it opens the floodgates.

[pand75]

It's close, but for me, it's number one, because the season is still on, especially during the playoff stretch.

[we are cured]

yeah, july 1 is just a tease. hockey is still 3 months away.

[deadstar]

Recchi sounds pretty unhappy that Lawton hasnt said a word to him about where he might go.

[xbrokendownx]

eklund has some pretty ridiculous things up right now

[pand75]

I know, there's no way Edmonton will ever sign Bouwmeester

[Jordachejeans91]

as much as i think jordan staal is a terrible hockey player i would hate to see my pens move him, he's just soo young and could be good, right now hes just...so slow

[larokr]

Making this thread is a genius idea. Now after my exam I can easily find everything instead of going through every page of the NHL thread, haha.

[xbrokendownx]

jordan staal is terrible? news to me

[Jordachejeans91]

i should have added IMO, but it just looks like he is to slow for the game sometimes, and cant catch up with the speed, then other times he's flying by people controlling the puck (like how he's been playing recently)

[xbrokendownx]

hes 22 years old...relax

[Jordachejeans91]

haha im relaxed, honestly though they should trade that crosby fella there doing well with out him, ill take parise or elias for crosby haha

[we are cured]

i'm changing my username to bossjeans96 (the year they were relevant)

Hes not a terrible player. He's 20 years old and has a lot of developing to do. He's key to our PK and he's been playing really well as of late with Kunitz.

[deadstar]

Vermette to Columbus for Leclaire.

[ESundy36]

Perfect timing to wake up. Looks like Vermette to Columbus for Leclaire.

[xbrokendownx]

Filip Kuba was also re-signed so hes not going anywhere

[bobbo8]

Where do you guys see this Vermette for Leclaire?

[deadstar]

2nd rounder also going to Ottawa.

[deadstar]

I'm listening to TSn tradecentre. Thats where its been reported.

[xbrokendownx]

Where do you guys see this Vermette for Leclaire?

nice deal for columbus...pretty much traded nothing for a little something (considering they can roll with mason and lacosta)

Agreed. Good deal. NHL Network is an epic fail right now for not carrying Tradecentre.

[we are cured]

is nhl live going to be on? that should be pretty solid for at least that time span

[xbrokendownx]

yea NHL live is 3 hours today i think i saw

[fallout1819]

is nhl live going to be on? that should be pretty solid for at least that time span
Yeah, they're doing a 3 hour show which will be good but I really liked Tradecentre last year. I guess its better this way because I have TSN on the computer and I'll have NHL Live on TV.

Waddell just said he won't listen to offers for Kovalchuk.

[ESundy36]

Agreed. Good deal. NHL Network is an epic fail right now for not carrying Tradecentre.

Not going to lie I am not a big fan of NHL Network. I feel like every time I turn it on the same 3 shows are airing.

[bobbo8]

Not going to lie I am not a big fan of NHL Network. I feel like every time I turn it on the same 3 shows are airing.
...cause they are. NHL on the Fly, NHL Live, and a rotation of Captains/Day in the Life

apparently Tim Connolly left practice early and wasnt injured

This. NHL on the Fly is great though. It used to be only On the Fly and Vintage Games at one point so its improve alot in the past year.

[fallout1819]

Doesn't he want 4mil/year? That's ridiculous. The guy is made of toothpicks.

[ESundy36]

NHL on the Fly is the only show I watch aside from live games but even most of the live games do not excite me.

[Chris M.]

Filip Kuba is not worth 3.7 million a year. Do not like that deal for Ottawa.

[fallout1819]

NHL on the Fly is the only show I watch aside from live games but even most of the live games do not excite me.
NHL Network isn't as useful when you have Center Ice. They usually end up broadcasting TSN games which is okay with me. NHL Live is solid too. I don't really watch anything else though.

[ESundy36]

My favorite deadline day blog is back. Jay Onrait of TSN watching TSN's Tradecentre. http://www.tsn.ca/blogs/jay_onrait/?id=269705

[ESundy36]

Bob Gainey isn't going to do a thing today. I can already hear him during his press conference this afternoon, "There were no deals presented to us that help the team five years down the road and I am not going to jeopardize the future."

[fallout1819]

He's gonna trade Carey Price. (e3)

[ESundy36]

He's gonna trade Carey Price. (e3)

I knew there was a reason he called up Marc Denis. The Jaro Halak flu story is a cover, haha. And shouldn't that be an (e5)? Every Habs deal reported by Eklund is an (e5).

[fallout1819]

Ah damn, my mistake. :hitself:

[ESundy36]

Brian Burke is a very frank man. HA.

[pand75]

I'm really curious what Burke does.

[COTA]

I love that Brian Burke just said, "Yes." after that long question.

[xbrokendownx]

Burke and Lou were talking for like an hour last night in his box at the game...they kept showing them during the game

[fallout1819]

Brian Burke is a very frank man. HA.
I like that.

I have a feeling today might be a total bust.

[deadstar]

"Brian Burke, the rumors are that Antropov and Moore contract negototiaions have broken off. Do you expect to move them by the deadline?"

"Yes."


Hahahahahahahaha. Great answer.

[ESundy36]

I still cannot believe I missed it when Brian Burke came back to Providence College to speak and dragged the Cup along with him. Would have been very interesting.

[ESundy36]

HAHAHA, Burke and Duthie interviews are always the best.

[Chris M.]

Burke hates doing this interview so much

[COTA]

Brian Burke has to be the most overrated executive in hockey.

[Chris M.]

Brian Burke has to be the most overrated executive in hockey.

Been sayin' that for a while now

[Jordachejeans91]

Doesn't he want 4mil/year? That's ridiculous. The guy is made of toothpicks.

yea i think thats a little much for him i mean hes good, but not that goos

[Chris M.]

Tim Connolly re-signs with Buffalo for 2 years at 4.5 million per year

yuck

[COTA]

Tim Connolly signs for 2 years, $9 million.

[WakingTheMisery]

Not a bad deal.

[fallout1819]

Doesn't he want 4mil/year? That's ridiculous. The guy is made of toothpicks.
QFT. 4.5 its a bit much considering he's injured most of the time.

[Chris M.]

I realize it's only a two year deal, but that is an absurd amount of money for Connolly

[pand75]

I think it's a terrible deal. Guy's a stud, but he's worse than Havlat injurywise

[Jordachejeans91]

http://www2.tsn.ca/window/tradetracker.aspx

nice deal for columbus...pretty much traded nothing for a little something (considering they can roll with mason and lacosta)

hey does this site update automaticly or do u have to refresh the page everyonce and a while?

Fuck Canada for making me think Its Always Sunny was coming on. Hahahaha.

[ESundy36]

Tim Connoly is laughing his way to the bank.

[pand75]

I have an accounting quiz in 30 minutes, I have learnt nothing. Thank god it's only 5% because I will barely get 1%

[deadstar]

Buffalo should have just let connelly walk at the end of the year.

[ESundy36]

Fuck Canada for making me think Its Always Sunny was coming on. Hahahaha.

Same here. Damn Tim Horton's Brier.

[Chris M.]

Jay Onrait is the man. From his blog.

Scott Langford asks:
"Where did you get the TradeCentre shirt?" TSN gave it to me. It's an American Apparel t-shirt! Thankfully it's not one of those v-neck American Apparel t-shirts that all the hipsters wear. Bad enough everyone had to see my face in the morning, seeing my forest of thick chest hair would induce vomiting across the nation

[pand75]

Haha, he's got a vintage Gino Reda mug at his house

[ESundy36]

I love Onrait. His Tradecentre blog is always a highlight of the day.

[tambo41187]

Yay Tim Connolly.....sigh. How the Sabres front office has not realized they need to cut their losses on this guy amazes me.

[we are cured]

lol @ that deal, buffalo PD should have a suicide watch on all the city bridges today

[fallout1819]

Amidst the signings today, I hope Petr Sykora is one of them.

And I hit 20k. :woot: Thanks, NHL thread.

[we are cured]

btw dara saw you bought a thornton jersey, further proof that you cannot possibly be a real girl (no offense)

[larokr]

Hes not a terrible player. He's 20 years old and has a lot of developing to do. He's key to our PK and he's been playing really well as of late with Kunitz.

I agree, obviously. But I'm biased.

I have such a bad feeling Staal's going to get moved.

http://www2.tsn.ca/window/tradetracker.aspx

I lived on that thing during last year's trade deadline, haha.

I have an accounting quiz in 30 minutes, I have learnt nothing. Thank god it's only 5% because I will barely get 1%

I'm so glad I finished accounting last semester, haha. Since I'm a marketing major, I don't have to take another accounting class for the rest of college, I believe.

btw dara saw you bought a thornton jersey, further proof that you cannot possibly be a real girl (no offense)

Speaking of jerseys... free customization at shop.NHL.com tomorrow.



I'm not looking forward to my exam in around 2 hours. And I still have to study. Arghh.

[fallout1819]

btw dara saw you bought a thornton jersey, further proof that you cannot possibly be a real girl (no offense)
Hahah, I am a real girl! Its on back order so I canceled it. I think I'm gonna go for a Nabokov third on from Ice Jerseys at some point. shop.nhl.com doesn't know when the Thorntons will be in so screw them.

4.5 million for a player who has never completed a full season and is only a slightly above average player when healthy! How is that rational? I am so angry right now.

[deadstar]

Shero inquired about Ruutu and Malone. Way to waste your time Shero. Maybe he is dumber than I thought.

[larokr]

Thank you for this. Nabokov 3rd for me.

No problem! :)

[larokr]

Shero inquired about Ruutu and Malone. Way to waste your time Shero. Maybe he is dumber than I thought.

oh nice, the third is sharp. i was thinking about getting a marleau but instead i'm gonna go for a white cbj rick nash jersey

[fallout1819]

Shero inquired about Ruutu and Malone. Way to waste your time Shero. Maybe he is dumber than I thought.
Idiot. Why would he? He wouldn't give Ruutu 3 years and Malone's deal is too big.

[Jordachejeans91]

Excellent. I want a Nabokov 3rd and a Thornton home jersey. My friend is going to Columbus for the Pens game on Thursday. I wish I could go but I gotta work. :-(

[we are cured]

lol @ pinning the coyotes struggles on jokinen

[xbrokendownx]

just order the replica jersey and then get authentic lettering on it

[fallout1819]

Pierre's suit looks like its a few sizes too big for him.

[larokr]

From the Pensblog:


The Calgary Flames reportedly have a deal for Olli Jokinen done. There could be cap space issues with Calgary though. TSN speculates that another team may need to take a player from Calgary to free up space.

[Jordachejeans91]

Pierre's suit looks like its a few sizes too big for him.

[edit] nevermind.

[fallout1819]

From Jay Onrait's blog:

I'm getting lots of e-mails from students across the country reading this while attending class. It makes me very happy to know I am ruining the education of so many young people in this nation.

lol.

[larokr]

Alright, I'm off to study for my exam/take my exam. I wish I didn't have an exam today. Blah.

I'll be running to a computer lab or something right after my exam though. I might even get to class late to wait until the deadline hits.

[fallout1819]

Mikael Tellqvist to the Sabres.

[xbrokendownx]

Tellqvist to Buffalo, so clemmer aint goin there

[Jordachejeans91]

coyotes trade tellquist to buf, the deals not done yet, and toronto claimed gerber, pens claim, craig adams, dallas claims brendon morrison


coyotes get 4th round pick

[xbrokendownx]

gerber to toronto
morrison to dallas
adams to pitt

[fallout1819]

Why can't someone pick up stinkin' Satan.

Draft pick for Tellqvist.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

lol @ that deal, buffalo PD should have a suicide watch on all the city bridges today
we have bridges?

haha fuck that deal. I never want to hear "fiscal responsibility" from Darcy Regier, Larry Quinn, or Tom Golisano ever again. They just flushed another 9 million down the same toilet that's produced them with 200+ missed games the last 3 seasons. GOOD. CALL.

[we are cured]

lol i figured you did, hahaha

Decent move, I guess. Who knows how long the high ankle sprain keeps Miller out. LOLime needs someone to play occasionally, and Enroth was way, way too green to be in the NHL. Back to Portland, kid.

[tambo41187]

I like the Tellquist move....still don't think Buffalo is making the playoffs. Portland needs Enroth back, and who knows how long Miller will be out.

Guys on TSN are raving about Tellquist

[ESundy36]

I'm still sticking to my prediction from the other day that Bill Guerin does not get moved. This whole thing has taken way too long.

[Chris M.]

Sources are saying the proposed Jokinen-to-Calgary trade is Matthew Lombardi, a first round pick and a prospect for Jokinen

[fallout1819]

Poor Rex has no idea what's going down in Tampa with him.

[Chris M.]

The guys on Tradecentre still haven't reported the blockbuster deal of Danny Richmond for Andy Wozniewski

[fallout1819]

The guys on Tradecentre still haven't reported the blockbuster deal of Danny Richmond for Andy Wozniewski
Biggest trade of the day.

My friend sent me a text saying Luca Caputi was demoted to the ECHL. Apparently he violated team rules.

Edit: press release from Fletcher:

"The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins have disciplined four players for a violation of team rules. Defenseman Jon D'Aversa and forward Luca Caputi have been assigned to Wheeling of the East Coast Hockey League for the immediate future. Forwards Chris Minard and Aaron Boogaard will sit out tonight's game against the Binghamton Senators. No further comment will be made at this time."

[LastPlaceRocks]

Leopold to Calgray for Nycholat, a prospect, and a 2nd rounder.
Overpayment.

[Chris M.]

Overpayment.

It's essentially a 2nd rounder for Leopold since Nycholat and Ryan Wilson (the prospect) likely will never amount to anything.

[Chris M.]

James Duthie says Petteri Nokelainen has been shipped out of Boston...no word on the team or for whom yet.

FUCK YES NO MORE NOKELAINEN!!!

[LastPlaceRocks]

That sounds a little better, but on the whole it's good to see Leopold's still in the Northwest.

[ESundy36]

Damnit Bob, get off your damn ass and address the need of a sizable center because your "5 Year Plan" is starting to go up in flames.

[Chris M.]

That sounds a little better, but on the whole it's good to see Leopold's still in the Northwest.

He played very well with Regehr when he was in Calgary before so I like the deal for them.

To follow up on the proposed Jokinen-to-Calgary deal: Adrian Aucoin is now reported to be heading to Phoenix as part of the deal.

edit: Dreger's now reporting it as Lombardi, Brandon Prust and a 1st round pick for Jokinen is the official trade.

[Chris M.]

Nokelainen to Anaheim for Steve Montador

[fallout1819]

James Duthie says Petteri Nokelainen has been shipped out of Boston...no word on the team or for whom yet.

FUCK YES NO MORE NOKELAINEN!!!
There he goes, off to Anaheim for Montador.

[ESundy36]

For some reason the TSN video stream keeps freezing on me so I switched to the trade tracker with its audio but does TSN have someone mocking up jerseys again this year after the trades?

[pand75]

Jokinen to Calgary for Prust, Lombardi and 1st

[Chris M.]

This Jokinen trade is another great move for Calgary. Prust is nothing more than a fourth liner and the 1st rounder will likely be a low first round pick. I think Lombardi has lots of upside but it's worth losing him if it means bringing in Jokinen.

[fallout1819]

Calgary is looking mighty sexy now. Will Sutter go for a better backup for Kipper?

[LastPlaceRocks]

Jokinen to Calgary for Prust, Lombardi and 1st
Final or proposed?
EDIT: Never mind, it's sad to see that was Phoenix's best offer. Great trade for Calgary,.

[fallout1819]

My friend says CuJo to Calgary now that Toronto picked up Gerber.

[ESundy36]

I have an answer for Pierre, there is no thinking going in Montreal. Everyone is sitting and admiring their 100th Season merch.

[pand75]

I hate Calgary but I don't mind this deal, because it will allow Calgary to beat everyone in Edmonton's way :-)

[deadstar]

Oh and I like picking up Adams. We need help on the 4th line and PK.

[LastPlaceRocks]

I hate Calgary but I don't mind this deal, because it will allow Calgary to beat everyone in Edmonton's way :-)
Still don't see them overtaking San Jose or Detroit.

[ESundy36]

ESPN is saying the Avalanche will not trade Hejduk or Smyth.

[Chris M.]

Vesa Toskala done for the season. Guess we know why they picked up Gerber.

[pand75]

Still don't see them overtaking San Jose or Detroit.
Oh me neither, just Calgary will be playing all the teams battling the Oilers and hopefully they could give us a hand.

Toskala out for the year.

[fallout1819]

Vesa Toskala done for the season. Guess we know why they picked up Gerber.
Damn, there goes my friend's prediction.

done for the year a day after making 50 saves haha weird

[LastPlaceRocks]

Oh me neither, just Calgary will be playing all the teams battling the Oilers and hopefully they could give us a hand.

Toskala out for the year.
Well the Oilers aren't going to need any help from Minnesota. They're doing their own damage.

[Jordachejeans91]

well im sitting in accounting class watching trade center waiting for another big move haha

[pand75]

Well the Oilers aren't going to need any help from Minnesota. They're doing their own damage.
They'll get it back together.

[ESundy36]

This Bud Light commercial is really getting annoying.

[LastPlaceRocks]

I hope so, but at the same time it's good to know they can't really pick up any players outside of dealing Veilleux, Bergeron (which would both be for prospects/pick) and Gaborik. They are fucked.

[fallout1819]

This Bud Light commercial is really getting annoying.
Yes. I'm so sick of it.

I picked up Halak in fantasy today. I hope he doesn't give up the #1 job any time soon, for my fantasy team and for the Habs because he's the hot hand.

[xbrokendownx]

stop playing the Always Sunny music!

[sizablescarsxx]

Calgary is looking mighty sexy now. Will Sutter go for a better backup for Kipper?

take clemmer! hahah.
my favorite west team just keeps getting better.

[ESundy36]

Yes. I'm so sick of it.

I picked up Halak in fantasy today. I hope he doesn't give up the #1 job any time soon, for my fantasy team and for the Habs because he's the hot hand.

He's been cleared to rejoin the team for the game in Atlanta Friday night.

[xbrokendownx]

brent sutter is gonna get his brother drunk so we can trade clemmer for phaneuf and iginla

[ESundy36]

From Jay Onrait's blog
According to Ray: "... Guy Carbonneau said that Bob Gainey told him it's been 'really quiet" Sorry Habs fans.

Well then, Big Bob better be resting up for that long stretch from mid to late April, when the Habs are bounced in the first round, through July 1st where he has to sort through the mess of free agents on the roster.

[fallout1819]

take clemmer! hahah.
my favorite west team just keeps getting better.

That's not a bad idea.

He's been cleared to rejoin the team for the game in Atlanta Friday night.

I just heard. I hope Price sort of blows tonight just for my fantasy team... but Montreal needs to beat Buffalo.

[sizablescarsxx]

brent sutter is gonna get his brother drunk so we can trade clemmer for phaneuf and iginla

i wish. not even iginla. just phaneuf. i would die.

[Jordachejeans91]

iim watching the live stream in class and have the sound off they just showed antropov, did he get traded yet?

[ESundy36]

I just heard. I hope Price sort of blows tonight just for my fantasy team... but Montreal needs to beat Buffalo.

Yes they do, tonight will be a very big night for Montreal. First they have to get a win but potentially what might be more important Carey Price needs to respond well to being relegated to the back-up role.

[emkvetwin]

nice, found an outlet in my Anthro class. who cares about racial classification schemes when i can watch the trade deadline?

Calgary has made quite a splash.

[fallout1819]

Yes they do, tonight will be a very big night for Montreal. First they have to get a win but potentially what might be more important Carey Price needs to respond well to being relegated to the back-up role.
How do you think he'll respond?

More trades, please. I'm getting bored.

[Vincewithouthee]

Wow they're really waiting til the last minute for these trades. Pretty boring so far outside of the Flames.

[LastPlaceRocks]

Nothing ever really goes down until the last hour (2pm).

[sizablescarsxx]

nice, found an outlet in my Anthro class. who cares about racial classification schemes when i can watch the trade deadline?

Calgary has made quite a splash.

i'm jealous. i wish my lecture halls had outlets. i'm going to be relying on text messages for the last hour of the deadline. fml.

[ESundy36]

How do you think he'll respond?

More trades, please. I'm getting bored.

I hope he responds well as for what will actually happen, I have to think that the rest will have been beneficial. I do not think his ankle was healed when he came back so hopefully he has taken this time off to rest and just get back to the basics.

I also would like more trades. I'm starting to feel like taking the day off was a monumental mistake.

[emkvetwin]

Tim Connolly signing is risky, but if he keeps this season's recent pace going... eh, still don't like his chances of staying healthy.

[Vincewithouthee]

Nothing ever really goes down until the last hour (2pm).

Yeah but I usually recall some more at least going down before. Maybe my memory is serving me wrong.

[fallout1819]

Even I'm starting to get sick of the Watchmen commercials, no matter how pumped I am for Friday.

[deadstar]

I was in Heathrow airport in London (spent the night there waiting for my flight to Spain) last deadline trying like hell to get an internet connection and track these trades. Much more comfortable being at home. Haha

[emkvetwin]

i'm jealous. i wish my lecture halls had outlets. i'm going to be relying on text messages for the last hour of the deadline. fml.

haha, i think only four in the class. i sit on the far end and risk tripping people, but it works! next class is math, so i'll probably be the only one with a laptop out.

[Chris M.]

Mark Recchi to the Bruins

[LastPlaceRocks]

Wish I could have the day off - can't use Tradecentre and am basically relying on here and refreshing a couple sites to get any news.

[deadstar]

Recchi to the Bruins. Still have a hard time believing he'll contribute anything.

[fallout1819]

Mark Recchi to the Bruins
Good trade I think. The B's will be getting some scoring they're missing from Kessel's fall off, leadership, and cup experience.

[Vincewithouthee]

Good for Recchi.

[deadstar]

The fuck would be interested in Ruutu? We could have had him for nothing if we wanted to pay him. He brings nothing to this team that isnt already there by Matt Cooke.

[sizablescarsxx]

haha, i think only four in the class. i sit on the far end and risk tripping people, but it works! next class is math, so i'll probably be the only one with a laptop out.

haha yeah. people can suck it up and watch where they walk. in my jewish civ class, i sit right next to an outlet. however, that class is on tuesdays and thursdays. doesn't help me right now though.

[fallout1819]

Ruutu and Guerin... DO NOT WANT.

[Chris M.]

I want to know what we gave up for Recchi!

[sizablescarsxx]

Mark Recchi to the Bruins

any idea on who boston is sending for him? it says TBA on tradecentre's tracker.

[emkvetwin]

Mark Recchi to Boston, TBL gets TBA?

[Vincewithouthee]

Yeah I don't want either one. The Pens need a scoring, two-way winger. Fuck this grit bullshit unless we land a grit player that I actually want.

[we are cured]

Recchi to the Bruins. Still have a hard time believing he'll contribute anything.

you're nuts, boston is a team stocked with young talent, plus a goaltender a bunch of veterans that don't have much cup experience. recchi's presence alone adds a ton.

[Chris M.]

any idea on who boston is sending for him? it says TBA on tradecentre's tracker.

Nope - they still haven't said anything. I can't imagine it'd be too much because he's a UFA after this year.

[ESundy36]

Wish I could have the day off - can't use Tradecentre and am basically relying on here and refreshing a couple sites to get any news.

This is the first time I have had to take a day off for it. The last 3 years Deadline Day fell during my Spring Break.

[sizablescarsxx]

Nope - they still haven't said anything. I can't imagine it'd be too much because he's a UFA after this year.

yeah. it'll probably be a draft pick or some ahl-er.

[fallout1819]

The Pensblog says Moore could be headed to the Hawks.

[LastPlaceRocks]

Recchi to the Bruins. Still have a hard time believing he'll contribute anything.
No, they need a player like Recchi plus it doesn't cost the Bruins an arm and a leg.

haha yeah. people can suck it up and watch where they walk. in my jewish civ class, i sit right next to an outlet. however, that class is on tuesdays and thursdays. doesn't help me right now though.
Jewish civ?

[Chris M.]

you're nuts, boston is a team stocked with young talent, plus a goaltender a bunch of veterans that don't have much cup experience. recchi's presence alone adds a ton.

Yeah, unless we gave up something crazy, this isn't a bad deal. Recchi is a great veteran presence who will add depth at centre and on the wing. Plus he has a ring and tons of playoff experience which is something this team lacks. I really can't see how he wouldn't contribute anything.

[Chris M.]

Recchi plus a 2nd rounder for Matt Lashoff and Martins Karsums

[deadstar]

you're nuts, boston is a team stocked with young talent, plus a goaltender a bunch of veterans that don't have much cup experience. recchi's presence alone adds a ton.
Should have clarified. Contribute much in terms of point totals. Plus I dont buy much into the "experience" factor that these analysts rant and rave about. They already have Chara and Stephane Yelle.

[fallout1819]

Recchi for Matt Lashoff and Martins Karsums.

[sizablescarsxx]

Jewish civ?

yeah i'm taking a jewish civilization class. stupid global awareness requirements. i figured, "i'm jewish. how hard could it be?"

boston gave up matt lashoff and martins karsums for recchi and a 2010 2nd round pick.

[COTA]

Dumb trade for the Bruins. Recchi is garbage.

[Chris M.]

Should have clarified. Contribute much in terms of point totals. Plus I dont buy much into the "experience" factor that these analysts rant and rave about. They already have Chara and Stephane Yelle.

Recchi just had a 5 assist in a game the other night, for what it's worth.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

Tim Connolly signing is risky, but if he keeps this season's recent pace going... eh, still don't like his chances of staying healthy.

81 games his rookie year. 82 the next two for Buffalo. 80 the year after that (which I believe was the result of a suspension for high-sticking). Concussion #1 strikes, misses all of 2003-04. Then the lockout. 63 games in 2005-06. Missed all 19 due to a knee injury, then Peter Schaefer knocked him the FUCK out. Concussion #2.

2006-07: Missed 80 games from the Schaefer concussion.
2007-08: Missed 34 games. Hip, groin, oblique, strained vulva....
2008-09: Misses 10 games after back injury in training camp, comes back, takes a hit from Tkachuk, misses 25 games....WITH A BROKEN RIB

Official count: 325 of his first 328 games (4 seasons), then misses 249 of the next 391. Not including playoffs.

[Chris M.]

Dumb trade for the Bruins. Recchi is garbage.

You're dumb. This is a great trade for the Bruins. Recchi isn't garbage and will contribute a lot to this team and we only gave up a guy that could not crack the roster full-time and did not look to be in our future plans, and a guy who's probably a career 3rd liner.

[deadstar]

Recchi just had a 5 assist in a game the other night, for what it's worth.
And jon sim had a 3 point night Monday. Recchi is old, slow, and his skill level has been deteriorating. Who knows if he can contribute to a playoff grind. His numbers have severely severly decreased as the season went on last 2-3 years.

[Vincewithouthee]

Dumb trade for the Bruins. Recchi is garbage.

How is this dude still here?

[xbrokendownx]

yea Recchi is nothing much at all anymore

how about... good luck?

[deadstar]

LOL @ Playswithfire throwing in a "strained vulva" injury in there. Thats good stuff. Hahaha.

[Chris M.]

His numbers have decreased because he's played on two awful teams the past two years - not because of his age. He put up 40 points in 53 games with Atlanta last year - not too shabby considering how bad that team was.

[LastPlaceRocks]

yeah i'm taking a jewish civilization class. stupid global awareness requirements. i figured, "i'm jewish. how hard could it be?"

boston gave up matt lashoff and martins karsums for recchi and a 2010 2nd round pick.
Oh I thought you were Floyd and was confused - your avatars are too similar and apparently I'm not paying attention.

Also amazed that Tampa gave up a second in the deal although Lashoff is one of Boston's top prospects.

[emkvetwin]

i think getting the 2nd round pick is useful. if it's Tampa Bay's...

[fallout1819]

LOL @ Playswithfire throwing in a "strained vulva" injury in there. Thats good stuff. Hahaha.
I thought that was a nice touch as well.

:appl:

[deadstar]

No I'm not necessarily talking about numbers last 2-3 years on the whole. I'm talking about the last 20 games of the season or so. The year the Pens lost to the Sens in the playoffs he went a good 16 games or so without a goal getting substanial PP time and playing with Sid. He's just not built to play 82 games anymore. Which is probably better hes going to Boston cause he wont be depended on for much.

[sizablescarsxx]

Oh I thought you were Floyd and was confused - your avatars are too similar and apparently I'm not paying attention.

haha yeah. it happens. too many devils fans around.

[edit] i'm going to change my avatar to one using the away jerseys instead. i think most of the devils avatars on here are the home jerseys. maybe that'll make things somewhat easier.

[emkvetwin]

Montreal about to make a splash (E4)

[Chris M.]

Lashoff's only still considered a top prospect because he was a first round pick. He was given plenty of chances to make the team full-time but he never played very well with the big club. He's always played well in Providence, just hasn't been able to turn that AHL success in NHL success.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

how about... good luck?

he should be have his house decorated in horseshoes 4 leaf clovers and rainbows because i can assure you someone in Buffalo will want to off him if he continues this streak of injuries for 2 more years at 150% his last salary.

LOL @ Playswithfire throwing in a "strained vulva" injury in there. Thats good stuff. Hahaha.

Might as well have been. He's hurt everything else.

[Chris M.]

Just to clear it up - I'm not suggesting he's going to light the world one fire or anything, but he'll provide some good veteran leadership and I'll be satisfied if he puts up ~10 points between now and the end of the season.

[deadstar]

Thats fine. I never said it was a bad pick up. I just said he wouldn't contribute much. He doesnt have to.

[Jordachejeans91]

shits about to get interesting in the last hour

[COTA]

You're dumb. This is a great trade for the Bruins. Recchi isn't garbage and will contribute a lot to this team and we only gave up a guy that could not crack the roster full-time and did not look to be in our future plans, and a guy who's probably a career 3rd liner.

He'll destroy the team chemistry. He's a selfish player who cares about his stats. But good luck. Personally I think the 2nd rounder in 2010 has more value than Recchi.

[LastPlaceRocks]

haha yeah. it happens. too many devils fans around.

That definitely works out better.

Keep refreshing suckers...err I mean season ticket holders.

Eklund with a Montreal rumor that is not an (e5)? Blasphemy!

[ESundy36]

HAHAHAHA, Onrait.
Joe Giannotti writes in to say that Eklund is reporting that I'm being traded for a pair of pants... it's an e5... so that means it probably won't happen! Whew!

[sizablescarsxx]

That definitely works out better.

paul martin is in there too. which makes it even better.

[fallout1819]

Forsberg announcing his retirement today.

[fallout1819]

Am I the only one who thinks JBouw won't get traded today? With Florida playing the way they are, it benefits them more to keep him.

[LastPlaceRocks]

HAHAHAHA, Onrait.
Pssh, everyone knows E5 equates to Eklund stumbled upon ESPN, TSN or another page and saw something. He needs to get a Montreal-specific rating ($5).

paul martin is in there too. which makes it even better.
And Langenbrunner.

[sizablescarsxx]

Forsberg announcing his retirement today.

according to the denver post, it's a false alarm.

[LastPlaceRocks]

I don't he will either - it's going to take more than anyone wants to give up to get Bouwmeester.

[xbrokendownx]

if this is the way things stay and theres no major moves, im very content

[sizablescarsxx]

And Langenbrunner.

yeah. my old avatar had langenbrunner as well. he is my favorite (zach's a very close second, obviously. but everyone likes zach now, and that's no fun).

[we are cured]

well it wil still be a couple of hours before we know...team are only required to notify the league of a deal by 3, not complete all the necessary steps

[COTA]

Am I the only one who thinks JBouw won't get traded today? With Florida playing the way they are, it benefits them more to keep him.

A first round playoff exit and letting Bouwmeester walk for nothing should be grounds for firing Martin. The East is weak, the Panthers would still make the playoffs with whatever package they get in return.

[xbrokendownx]

NOOO. I don't want Guerin. DO NOT WANT. DAMN YOU SHERO.

[sizablescarsxx]

GUERIN TO PITTSBURGH.

i dont really like it, ill wait to see what they gave up

[emkvetwin]

Guerin to the Pens, wow.

really? nevermind then.

I mean TSN just said this was an erroneous report.

I know. Ugh, I dunno about this. My obvious gut reaction is DO NOT WANT but who knows. I could be proven wrong.

Been done.
