If Upshall resigns for a reasonable rate - awesome. If he doesn't - we spend the money getting good talent.

I'm not missing that at all. In the past, we've seen SH spend more than that for Juice as well as Commodore. Our free agent signings haven't exactly been slam dunks. We seem to do a bit better with trades.

someone said we offered a 1st and commadore.
Someone is stupid

The calm before the storm?? My past 5 tweets have been non-NHL related...where'd all the analysts and reporters go??

[Los Chaquetas Azul]

Wow...Portzline: "Avs D John-Michael Liles has not been asked to waive his no-trade for #CBJ, and w 5 mins to go he can be safely scratched from the list"

[Ludicrous Speed]

Could just be waiting for the NHL to approve deals. I really hope we're not done.

[wahsnairb]

TFP reports Arnott to the caps

What a boring trade deadline day seriously.

That isn't surprising. There are a lot of teams that still have a chance to make the playoffs which has made it a sellers market.


Not that many players available to be traded

+

a lot of teams wanting those players

=

high prices and few trades.

[Matt Foley]

Most deadline days have a Christmas-like atmosphere; this year I think we all experienced Hanukkah.

Edit: Portzline says there's a minor-league deal that will be announced shortly.
