Trade Deadline

[nutman]

you mean the press spent most of the day claiming that.

No. Jay Feaster confirmed it.

Well Nik... It don't matter, we've done the right thing, we got a stay at home dman, and went with the goalies that got us here. no time like the present for them to gain playoff exp.

I wasn't an advocate either way. It's just important to note the actual, you know, truth.

90 minutes later and every reporter has no information about this supposed Capitals trade.  So much for the Internet age breaking everything within seconds of it happening.  I'm interested to find out what this is.

new contract for Ribeiro?

 

[caver]

See it looks like Nonis agreed with me. ;D

I don't know who Nunis is but Dave Nonis spent most of the day trying to add a goaltender so, no, he didn't.

oops a type o.  you mean the press spent most of the day claiming that.

Reminds me of when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor....

For Filip Forsberg? Does someone want to tell the Capitals where they are in the standings?

I'm literally laughing at this trade.  Isn't he only 18?

Doesn't turn 19 until August. I mean...Jeez. I know the Leafs don't necessarily have a comparable but I'd have been all over trying to get in on that.

2 points behind the Jets?... with 2 games in hand.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

I wonder if there is an issue with his development or attitude, seems like a strange decision otherwise.

2 points behind the Jets?... with 2 games in hand.

They're 21st in points winning percentage, the crumminess of the Southeast aside. Maybe it's just me but that's not when I'd start dealing my top prospects.

Oh I'm not supporting the deal they made - it was stupid - but they probably end up winning the division and finish 3rd... but would have done so with or without Erat.  Yeeeesh.

Erat isn't exactly an amazing player. Could've been Bozak+ easily.

That?s very tempting but I am not sure if I would do that provided that the LEafs have currently no-one to replace Bozak

 

[Kin]

Erat isn't exactly an amazing player. Could've been Bozak+ easily.

I'm thinking more along the lines of Mac if they were looking for a winger. Admittedly that's pipe dream stuff it's just, you know, you'd like to be in on that.

Notable that Connolly didn't get moved - given teams were looking for centers.

 

[drummond]

Forsberg is by all accounts having good year with Leksand (Swedish 2nd League)
38GP 15G+18A 33PTS +11, right now in the playoffs/qualification for Eliteserien
In recent WJC he scored 3G and added 2A for 5PTS in 6 games.

ESPN's instant analysis has the Leafs in the "Not so much" grouping when it comes to the question of whether they improved:

That said, it's not much in the way of an actual criticism.

How did Brassard and Moore get into the Rangers lineup already?
