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.
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.
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?

Buffalo retained half of Stewarts cap hit and salary.
Preds should have gone after Timonen and one or both of Vermette and Bergenheim.
Franson has been bad and Santorelli isn't much.

Wisniewski to ducks
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.
Has Poile had his press conference yet?
to announce we didnt do squat?
Im not expecting one...

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)
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).

This discussion looks a lot like our off season free agent discussions.
