Pretty much. Plus I couldn't sleep. I love trade deadline day ... even outside of the impact it has on Dallas. Something is probably wrong with me because took work off for the first time so I can actually enjoy it.

To be honest, bigG that lineup doesn't look very good, or any better than ours now. Looks like a team of third liners with 4 real top sixers.

I agree with that statement, but not that it is a negative. That's all this team has right now is 4 Top 6 forwards, and only 2 of them are core players.

I'm not saying that Ribeiro is the right move. I was just thinking about Neal for Goligoski this morning. That was a risky move by GMJN. It's easy to see as well that JVR is a GMJN player. I don't really think they should overpay for him, but I think (and the reason I posted this) GMJN is the type of guy to go out and get his guy.

The benefit GMJN would see is that you are basically flipping Ribeiro for a core, younger Top 6 scorer. Maybe/hopefully you get lucky and Blum is good enough for Phili, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him move Larsen (which I would honestly hate) if he had an immediate replacement like Blum.

To be honest, I'm just so pumped for today. I can't wait to see what happens.

Dallas defenceman Sheldon Souray could be moved. The word Sunday was that the Blackhawks and Bruins, both looking for a veteran presence, were in discussions with Stars GM Joe Nieuwendyk. Dallas isn’t afraid to unload veterans. The Bruins really need to get some help on their power play. The Hawks badly need more depth on the blue line

I'm kinda afraid theres not gonna be much movement today and that the stars with disappoint. Fingers crossed for jvr.

[KiedisA]

We need someone who can excel against the Canucks.. So does Chicago wanna do business?? But NOT BURISH!!

[ReverendAlBundy]

Dreger: Highly unlikely Nash moved. Howson actually asked for more than they originally asked for.

[BigG44]

Mark Spector:

NSH must get better up front. Need some goals to compete in playoffs with the VANs and DETs. B.Burke will trade today, reluctantly. Needs G

[BigG44]

McKenzie:

Many contenders chasing Steve Ott.

Gord Miller:

Detroit and Chicago have tons of cap room.

Awesome, slightly laggy but beggers can't be choosers. Thanks!

[chrissmith]

Cheers for the links, they should work but I'm guessing aren't because of my uni accomodation net, sucks.

[BigG44]

Bruce Garroich:

The Canucks really want Ott. Sense is he won't move. Long day ahead. #Sens

Andy Strickland ‏ @andystrickland

#Stars GM Joe Nieuwendyk knows his club isn't likely to do much if they do make playoffs...he and owner appear to be on same page #sntrade

Yeah, not worth looking for a tsn stream

[Verbal Kint]

I'm sure Ott is not going anywhere. Joe feels he's just too big piece of the puzzle in the upcoming playoffs, and actually i'm fine with that.

If someone is leaving, i sure hope the are Robidas, Pardy, Glennie, Raycroft, Dvorak and some picks if needed.

by the way, is Marty McSorley wearing makeup?
