Burke on TSN says
- no chance Grabovski will be traded.
- prices for trades don't make sense - "artificially high number of buyers, artificially low number of sellers - deals don't make sense"
- turned down good offer for Reimer down flat - still believe in him.
- "we're not quitting on either goaltender"
- most of the activity is how teams can get our young players away from us - tons of interest  -offers on the majority of players in the room
- "I don't think we're going to do anything - spent too much time to put this group together to blow it up for short term success"
- "Lupul - small issue with his wrist - flexible cast - day to day - it's nothing"
- "If I had to bet, I'd bet we'll do nothing (today)"

"I don't care how much water we're taking on, the amount you're charging for boat repair is outrageous!"

BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sucker Punch]

Everyone having fun on the most exciting day of the year?

Trade deadline day is great. There's nothing going on for the first few hours, but, once it gets to around 2 hours before the deadline, the minor deals come fast and furious!

I can't wait to find out where Mark Eaton lands.

DarrenDreger: Preds say Anders Lindback is not in play. We've been reduced to tweeting about players not being traded. Hmmm.  #tradecentre

TSNBobMcKenzie: Evgeny Nabokov is considering a contract offer from NYI, but there's no sense of urgency to finish it up. Not being moved regardless.

TSNBobMcKenzie: EDM's Ryan Smyth is also negotiating an extension with EDM but again, no urgency to complete today. He's not going anywhere.

I'm proposing Grabovski to Nashville to be reunited with the Kostitsyn sisters.

I don't get it. The Kostitsyn's are men. They should be the Kostitsyn brothers. What possible reason could you have to label them the Kostitsyn sis...wait...a joke? Labelling them as women? Zounds! Is it because in your estimation they lack some masculine faculties, making them women? What a wit we have! Oscar Wilde should be put on notice!

Dude, Oscar Wilde is dead.

Dude, Oscar Wilde is dead.

And yet his spirit lives on. Kostitsyn sisters, my stars.

The theory of supply and demand suggests there is no better time for Burke to sell a player.  He should be thinking about being on the other side of a trade.  For example, sell Maccarthur and sub in Kadri.  (Or sell, Lombardi, Armstrong, etc.)  If Backstrom (spelling?) is out, sell connolly to the caps?  Maybe for Colorado's first?

I only just checked in a second ago for the first time today.  I see this on TSN:
