Obviously, I'd love a strong two-way puckmover if we could find one, but that doesn't exactly seem to be where we're at now, does it?

I think we'll make a move for a #3 type guy sometime between Parent returning and the trade deadline, unless Parent comes back 100% and is really awesome out there. We needed someone BAD until Randy Jones comes back, and we got a half-decent guy. This is what you do this time of year.
