Game on...
NHL Trade Deadline has come and gone, with HFNHL Jackets Piche, Geoffrion, Moore and Gilbert all moving. But overall, what a dud! I expected it to be slow, and yet was still surprised. The Sportsnet Strategy Desk with Smith, Quinn, Lawton and MacLean was cool, too bad they had so little to talk about.
Unlike the HFNHL, where we've already seen a tonne of movement including major pieces. And there are still 4 days to go!
But will there be any more significant movement? The few buyers out there have already loaded up with assets like Ryan and Kipprusoff... Who has cap room left? The Leafs? Anyone else? Meanwhile, there are lots of sellers on the market. We'll see if one or two of them can move some more salary before the deadline - especially Ottawa, which has to make some moves happen.
But yeah, I don't expect deadline day itself to see many more deals than the NHL had. If that.
