What is MB doing? is he golfing or something? 

 

This team isn;t even close to a couple of pieces needed. 

 

He already traded his one true rental. Everyone left with value has term, and the deadline isn't usually the time GMs go for those guys.

 

I'd love to see a winger (or two) and a defensemen traded, but I understand if it doesn't happen til the draft.

If they don't trade Pacioretty today that tells me its a retooling not rebuild.

They have one of the worst rosters in the NHL, 

 

Surely they can shed some players, 

 

Davidson got a 3rd, Benn, Schlemko should not be on this team after today. 

 

Byron has value

He should have been wheeling. Craziness not to be unloading Benn or Schlemko. 

 

No one wants this team's garage...

What a waste of cap space!

With 23 minutes left, 

 

My only good thing to take out of this year is Commandant making a donation to charity in my name. 

You must be in a pretty dark place for that to be the first time you’ve brought it up since.

MB is clueless if he thinks they are a quick couple of signings away. 

 

Gretzky and Orr are past there prime

Thats what's happens when you're a team that realize on goaltending to hide your weaknesses. He thinks a healthy Price and we are a playoff team. As long as theres Price as our safety net there will never be a rebuild always retool.

Vanek to Columbus for Tyler Motte and Jussi Jokinen (who cleared waivers today).  It's a buyers' market, not a sellers' one.

 

I think we're just seeing how little GMs and coaches value pure offense players. You gotta play defense in the NHL nowadays, and those players are getting traded for value.

If that's all Vanek can get, the market is shifting.

 

Vanek has always had question marks on him. Coaches don't like him. Tortorella will probably treat him worse than Therrien did.

 

The team that should have acquired him was Nashville. He'd be great in Nashville. Or Vegas. Defensive/old school coaches hate him, don't know why their GMs acquire them.

With a few minutes left for last minute trades that haven't been announced, 

 

Another banner day for habs fans. 

 

I'll save MB the time for the presser, 

 

Trades are hard

 

We couldn't get the deal we wanted, 

 

And my favorite, the answer is in the room
