Agreed, the whole team fell apart at the end of the period. That was just ridiculous.

Damn laffs got Leetch. The Rangers acquired defenseman Maxim Kondratiev, forward Jarkko Immonen, a first-round pick in this year's draft and a second-round choice in the 2005 second-round selection. The Maple Leafs also received a conditional pick. Nedved and Markkanen to the Oilers. Rangers received Dwight Helminen, goaltender Stephen Valiquette and a second-round pick in the upcoming draft.

I'm happy as long as we don't trade away all our young talent like we did 6-7 years ago. We traded away good kids for washed up vets. Still, I like this deal because I am sure Gainey won't be giving up our future like the old regime did.

Supposedly for 2 picks and a player to be named OR one pick and 2 players to be named. I wouldn't have minded getting him, but I would prefer a more physical guy on D.

Passing New Jersey would be nice, just for the pleasure of passing a team that's been so successful in recent years. Hopefully we can finish strong and make a move in the playoffs. Beating playoff caliber teams like the Sharks would be nice too. I hope some kind of deal gets done, nothing too big that gives away young talent, but something to help us now. I want a playoff run before the lockout.
