i know we may have not needed much, but I feel like teams around us got better today. One more depth defenseman would have really helped. You look at who ended up available, we could have grabbed someone.
Chris Stewart, Leopold, and Bergenheim to the Wild who just beat us.
Bortuzzo & Jokinen - Blues
Vermette, Timonen & Desjardins - Hawks
Myers, Stafford & Stempniak - Jets
Franson & Santorelli - Preds
--idk, i feel like we needed more.

Despres for Lovejoy.
I like this deal for Anaheim. Was wondering when they were going to address their back end. Not exactly the move I thought they were going to move though. Might not make that much of an impact this year, Lovejoy is positionally sound and has lots of experience. Anaheim has a young d core.

wow. Lovejoy is a nice piece to have, nothing spectacular, but a good piece to have. I value Despres higher than Lovejoy. Interesting.
Sven Baertschi to the Canucks - watch out, with a change of scenery, this guy could be good.
side note: how does Minnesota have all the cap room for Bergenheim, Stewart, and Leopold?
If Timonen plays decently and Kane comes back before or shortly into the playoffs I fear the Blackhawks the most. The Wild also got a lot better today. The Blues and the Jets I am not as worried about because the Jets gave up a lot to get what they got and the Blues didn't add all that much really.

Dave is a killer
Dave's a Mess
Jets also lost Bogo and Kane, but I generally agree. I'm actually worried about MIN the most I think given how they've played recently.

Preds should have gone after Timonen and one or both of Vermette and Bergenheim.
Franson has been bad and Santorelli isn't much.

Timmonhasnt even played a game yet. But even that can't say preds and flyers would be the best trading partners given webers offer sheet.

ya. woah. This is a big move.
Wisniewski to ANA
W. Karlsson, R. Bourque & 2nd to CBJ
Well, unless he is a miraculous healer, that isn't happening- from all reports best case scenario is he comes back for the Conference finals.
well, unless there is a blockbuster that got clocked in at 2:59 ET and the league is waiting to announce it for dramatic effect, all in all a pretty "meh" day
no Phaneuf
no Kessel
no Edmonton forwards
no Thornton/Marleau

To announce he is done and happy with the team. It's like the official tap out to say uncle
It will be the standard Poile presser. He tried to make some deals and nothing made sense (IE no one called him) and his deadline was a few weeks ago (team is 3-3-1 and only wins were against non-playoff teams since the trade).
Poile played it predictably safe with getting Franson and Santorelli and he overrated those guys because they played here already. Team didn't really upgrade the roster enough and still have holes for a playoff run (scoring and better players on the bottom lines)

Dude, they have played 5 games. Your constant negativity is starting to become tiring.

I agree, but then the biggest need we'd need for an upgrade to get to the "next level" would be a better top 6 winger than Smith/Wilson or center than Ribs/Fisher. Few of that type of player seemed to be moved, and the cost would have been substantial.
I think Santorelli was a solid acquisition though. Franson...meh...
Franson was one of the most desirable d-men traded, and Poile got him. The fact that he has looked shaky so far doesn't take away from the fact the he was one of the bigger names traded. Santorelli has looked great, and was a much needed upgrade to the third line. Outside of the Islanders game, the team not playing well since the trade has more to do with Pekka not playing well than the new guys.
There wasn't much available today that would have upgraded any spots on our current roster that would have been worth paying the asking price.
I was thinking the same thing. Everyone complaining about how our rivals got so much better while we did nothing...
