Guest Michael Myers Resplendent Report post Posted February 26, 2008 A lot of Hawks fans will be happy about that. They didn't feel he was going to fit with Savard. Few European players seem to. I'm a little frustrated, because I remember him being drafted a few years ago and hearing that he was gonna be one of the big parts of our inevitable turnaround. Then again, Eric Daze. So tell me about Andrew Ladd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 I can't honestly imagine any GM in the league saying "What, you want us to have Ray Emery? Sure, send em over." He's 25 and went to the Cup finals last year. He'll get another couple of chances. Sens picked up Marty Lapointe for a sixth-rounder, less than what Florida paid to get Wade Belak. I know which of those two I'd rather have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 The Avs traded for Ruslan Salei about an hour ago; they've also got a deal worked out, with no specifics, for Adam Foote. From what I understand, only two teams were privy to the Rob Blake sweepstakes: Colorado and Anaheim. We'll see - Burke hasn't done anything so far. As I was typing that, Darren Dreger reported Sergei Federov is headed to Washington. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
treble 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 It's awkward having John Ferguson on there, with them pretty much just ripping him for giving out so many no-trade clauses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or, Mike Milbury while discussing NTC's with union head Paul Kelley (Kelly?) "Oh, they wanna play in the same city, stay with their families? That's great - be a damn plumber."

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Pittsburgh overpaid for Hossa, IMHO. Even adding him to that stable of talent won't put them over the edge and win them a Cup. At least they kept him from the competion (MTL, OTT, BOS) and losing the players that they traded away won't leave them bereft of young talent. If Boston had to trade away the equivalent, without any guarantee of re-upping him beyond this year, I'd have been an unhappy nl5. Brad Stuart to the Wings for second and fourth rounders. Is Stuart purely a rental, or is he signed beyond this year? If it's the former, I'd have been Ok with Boston reacquiring him for just those two picks ... but after watching him suck when he was here last year, I'd prefer not to see him in Black & Gold next season.
