No, Biron won't settle for being a backup. He's an UFA after this season.

[Guest]

The Kings have been trying to get Biron on a sign and trade for a while.

[Red Baron]

Well Rivet was in the dog house since Christmas.

 

Gary Roberts waived his no trade clause, and is most likely going to Pittsburgh

[J.T.]

Sopel as a 5th D and Smolinski as a third center is EXACTLY what we needed.

[Guest]

If you "need" Brent Sopel, chances are that your team isn't going to win anything once they get into the playoffs.

 

I don't think that Vancouver gave up anything more than lottery tickets, but Sopel blows.

[Red Baron]

Sopel was half decent in Vancouver, so I don't see why they wont need him for more than 15 minutes a game.

It's gotta be the hair...

 

I called in sick to work to watch the trade deadline shows....The Hansons are playing bubble hockey in the Sportsnet studios.

 

Gary Roberts' trade has been made official, to Pittsburgh for Noah Walch.

[Red Baron]

Biron has been traded. Details to follow

 

Edit: And it looks like Phili is getting Biron

 

for a draft pick

[Red Baron]

Ty Conklin is going to Buffalo

[Guest Queen Leelee]

Pleased with the Biron trade.

 

But, Conklin. This is the same guy that tripped behind the net in the finals last year, right.

[Guest]

Laraque to Pittsburgh.

[Guest Queen Leelee]

Sabres got a 1st out of the Biron trade. But, the 1st PHI got from NAS in the Forsberg trade.

[Red Baron]

That was pretty much a given

[Guest Queen Leelee]

I know. But, one can hope.

 

PHO keeps Kevyn Adams... who was rumored to be traded to BUF forever.

[Red Baron]

Ya, for at least two weeks.

[Guest]

Everyone thinks Aaron Miller's going to Buffalo.

 

HEY, we would take Nashville's 1st, after all, look what shit Rivet got.

[Guest Queen Leelee]

Nah, the talking heads in BUF wanted Adams for years. Mostly because he's from around there.

[Red Baron]

Ancaster I believe.

 

Confirmed that Bill Guerin has been traded.

[Red Baron]

San Jose is the winner of the Guerin sweepstakes

 

Its a three way deal

[Guest]

No, just Jersey's 1st and a prospect. Probably Setoguchi.

[Guest]

Bertuzzi to Anaheim for pick and prospect.

[Guest]

Waiver claims:

 

Hamel to Philly

Krog to Atlanta

Boucher to Columbus

Kapanen to Coyotes (Niko, not Sami)

Leighton to Habs

 

Marc Chouinard, Aaron Downey, Bryan Berard, and Petr Cajanek cleared waivers.

 

Nieminen is part of the Guerin deal.

[CanadianChris]

Wow, this is tons better than last year.

[Guest Queen Leelee]

C'mon Darcy, pick up someone fun for once.

[Guest]

Dominic Moore to the Wild for a 3rd, and that Bertuzzi thing was Eklund so I don't necessarily believe it anymore.

[Prophet of Mike Zagurski]

I don't want Bertuzzi. I don't think he's played since having back surgery. I guess we can't get rid of Bryzgalov now.

 

Anyway, why does anyone listen to what Eklund says?

[Guest]

Aaron Ward to Broons.

 

Hold on, Eklund said the Mara part. I'll delete it for now.

 

It's true, Mara for Ward.

[Guest]

Saprykin to the Sens for a 2nd.

[Guest Queen Leelee]

Who is this Eklund guy that's had Bertuzzi traded twice already.

[Guest]

An idiot.

 

Brad May to the Ducks for a 3. Burke loves his enforcers.
