Happy for Ginner. Great environment and he knows many guys on the team already. I bet he has a monster playoff drive for them. Hope he makes bank this summer.
Surprised Ham/Vrbs didn't leave Vancouver, and obviously PAP from Toronto. Hoping the latter was due to nobody wanting him, because that'd be epic luls.
Overall, I'm glad Minnesota didn't do much and I like our chances of beating them to a wild card spot. Beyond that, not so much.

@TV on the 2015 class. The grading will be done over the next year except maybe Boikov. Meloche and Beaudin are progressing as expected. With Greer they have plenty of time to figure that out. Olhaver isn't getting signed. Mironov may or may not want to come over.
Boikov might be interesting... without Wood coming in, they may want to sign him for next year in the AHL.

Interesting way of looking at it. I don't really agree with it but oh well.
I think they would have signed Wood but that's confirmation that Bleackley wasn't going to happen. I think it's now fair to say that pick was a waste. Wonder where things went wrong with him. He seems like a pretty decent kid so hopefully he has success, either with the Coyotes or the next team that drafts him. IMO, he wasn't treated too well by the Avs.

It actually makes me feel a lot better that the Avs were on the fence about Wood, had they given up a piece that they really wanted it would give them more psychological incentive to resign Boedker at a higher price.
Also interesting to see how little value Boedker had on the market.

The deadline having passed, I'm now reminiscing about the good times we shared with Alex Tanguay and how it's got to suck going to Arizona

I think Grigorenko (unfortunately) will be the player removed from the PP for Boedker. I didn't think he played very well in the Stadium Series game, and we all know how short his leash is with Roy. I'd be more than happy removing Beauch from the PP. Ease up his minutes

Coming to camp out of shape on his first try.
I think they would have signed Wood but I wonder if they were looking at him as another Rutkowski and having a very low chance of making it. Interesting.
After diggin into a little he has had two bad injuries and showing up to a camp in poor condition did him in....

I like the trades and especially firm message: we are fighting for playoffs. It could be morale bust. Hope Boedker will have a start to his AVS career as Mueller with the difference of not having concussion.

Bigras, Zadorov, and Meloche are clearly better prospects. Wood is probably better than Mironov and Butcher.
Avs probably need to draft a RD this summer in the first two rounds now... I'll start getting my hopes up for McAvoy.

So hopefully this means Siemens gets more time. Still a chance he goes at the draft, but I'd think they would want him back at least for SA
I'm disappointed in the type of defenseman they went out and got but at least there is some room for development with Gelinas.
Like getting to test drive Boeds for a late 2nd, fringe prospect while not taking on a ton extra salary. He should be a much better fit than Tangs.
Seems like a smart deadline overall which is what I wanted.

Either every insider has been off all along or Yzerman has changed his mind a bunch of times and still might not know what he wants.
If the similar type of forward is Rantanen then the answer is hell no. Hopefully we can work something out at the draft though.

Not on that specific part, but I'm also not too worried about losing Wood. If he pans out to his fullest, what is he going to become, a solid #4 defensemen? And that's if he can somehow figure out how to skate better and progress even more as a player?

Maybe he still wants to hold out hope that he can convince Drouin to return?
I'm not exactly sure what he's going to get if he wants a similar young player. Don't see teams moving the young players who are willing to put the time in for a player who isn't.

How? Mironov is playing well in a better league.
