Kings ship defenceman Modry to the Flyers. (TSN)

bye modry.... it's about time that he was traded away. oh the flip side, more of Kevin Dallman.... :Cry: i don't know which is worse.

a third round draft pick went the other way.

Thanks.

Sportsnet has Email alerts for trades (that's how I learned about the Modry deal). They also have text alerts, but I think you have to have a Canadian carrier.

[Sotnos]

vandermeer to calgary for a 3rd http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?ID=230140&hubName=nhl

:bored:

[Evan]

Posted this on the rumours thread, but apparently the flyers just got prospal for alexander picard and a conditional pick.

[chad]

To STL: Cam Janssen
To NJ: Bryce Salvadore

(sportsnet)

[CTLightning26]

Lou's good.
Makes sense for STL as well, because it's his home town.

[timothy]

I like Salvadore. Shame TBL couldn't sign him after drafting him.

[Coldrice]

That STL / NJ deal seems a bit odd. Blues have a tough guy in DJ King. Must be salary related (??? - Jackman's contract extended). NJ shores up their defense a bit with Bryce. He was due to be an UFA anyway hmmm.......

[CTLightning26]

Janssen is from STL.

You're right CT... forgot about that

[CTLightning26]

Wade Belak to the Turds for a No.5 in 08

[chad]

Isn't Belak a pending UFA?

[Avery86]

Odd acquisition, but whatever.

Edit: Belak is a pending UFA.

[TexasBolt]

The Turds are really dreaming big dreams with that acquisition.

[CTLightning26]

Campbell to the Sharks. More info later.

[TexasBolt]

Wow, now we're getting somewhere today. Wonder if the Lightning forced Buffalo's hand by re-signing Boyle and setting Campbell's price.

Also TSN just traded Darren Pang for Matthew Barnaby straight up. Not sure about that deal for them.

[chad]

The Turds are really dreaming big dreams with that acquisition.

:lol:

[Bolthed]

Richards & Hossa are the big chips on the table. Major props to NHL Network for picking up the TSN feed.

TSN now reporting ...

To BUF - Bernier, 1st
To SJ - Campbell

Might be fun to imagine the Lightning getting that return for Boyle along with Prospal netting Picard.

Bob MacKenzie now saying Richards deliberating on waiving NTC.

[TexasBolt]

Someone needs to ask Bob McKenzie who "Sir-Guy" Federov is.

[CTLightning26]

apparently Chicago and Ottawa at least discussing Khabi for Emery.

[backstop]

Just now got a sportsnet alert on the Salvador trade. Thanks a lot sportsnet.

[Coldrice]

Huet to the Crapitals for a 2nd? Are you fucking kidding me? God Dammit!!!:frusty:

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/trade_deadline/news_story/?ID=230614&hubname=nhl-trade_deadline

[Bolthed]

They'll still have to sign him to a big-money deal. It's obvious the Lightning would prefer to keep addressing the most important position in hockey on the cheap.

[Coldrice]

Shouldn't be hard to do. That deals pretty much seals Kolzig's departure.

[CTLightning26]

Huet to the Crapitals for a 2nd? Are you fucking kidding me? God Dammit!!!:frusty:

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/trade_deadline/news_story/?ID=230614&hubname=nhl-trade_deadline


He's a UFA.
Is Kolzig hurt?

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/trade_deadline/news_story/?ID=230614&hubname=nhl-trade_deadline

:jaw:

[Hoek]

I guess Huet really destroyed his value with his last month of play. Wow.. I know Biron ended up going for that much last year, but he showed so much less as a backup in Buffalo than Huet was doing for the Habs as a starter.

[timothy]

No one's throwing picks around in a deep draft year like they were last season. Kolzig is a Cap for life. My guess is that he retires this year if WAS resigns Huet, but Huet could easily walk to another team this summer. Kolzig is insurance for WAS and Kolzig is on record as saying he wants to stay with the Caps.

[Coldrice]

He's a UFA.
Is Kolzig hurt?

No... Kolzig's not hurt. Just the Craps figured "Why wait" and secured him now, rather than be somewhere in the shadows like other teams would be during the off season to sign him. Granted, he still has to be signed, but they get first crack at it and by not re-signing Kolzig... they have room now for a pretty outlandish deal... IMO he was the only legitimate No 1 goalie out there but as Bolthed stated, it is apparent that we "Got our number 1 goalie" on the cheap in Smith... or at least thats how it'll get spun

[chad]

COL: Salei
FLA: Skrastins

[TexasBolt]

Another earth-shattering move by the Turds as they move Ruslan Salei to COL for Karlis Skrastins and a third-rounder.

[jaydeedub]

Canes and Hawks swap Ruutu and Ladd.

[CTLightning26]

Martin Lapointe to Ottawa for a No. 6 in 08.
--
Boy, our two 6s are valuable.

[Bolthed]

Another earth-shattering move by the Turds as they move Ruslan Salei to COL for Karlis Skrastins and a third-rounder.

The player is proven in the NHL and that pick is still WORLDS better than we got for Prospal, a legit top6 forward.

[chad]

Adam Foote to Colorado.

Gettin' the gang back together in Denver.

[Bolthed]

Canes and Hawks swap Ruutu and Ladd.

I've already discussed Ruutu's warts, but damn, at least he's still passable as a top6 forward. Andrew Ladd is an even more disappointing first-round draft bust.

You want to know why the Lightning are in the predicament we are in?

- Can make a goddamn fair trade to save our lives.
- Can sign our players to reasonable contracts.
- Can draft for shit.
- Can figure out how to spot free-agent talent that fits our system.
- Couldn't spot a goalie if we were given Ken Dryden's eyeballs.

Add that up and there's just no wonder we're headed back to the dungeon.

[chad]

Fedorov to WSH for a prospect.

[astro]

Adam Foote to Colorado.

Gettin' the gang back together in Denver.

CBJ receives a first round pick in either 2008 or 2009.... and a conditional pick depending if COL can re-sign him.

[astro]

Fedorov to WSH for a prospect.

Ted Ruth

TSN is kicking SN's ars right now.

To VAN: Matt Pettinger

One hour to go...

Pending UFA Chris Gratton still a Bolt at the moment.

[Jester47]

The Avs are having a reunion, now if they could just get Dury back....

Hall "The Pylon" Gill to Pitt for TBD...

[TexasBolt]

10 minutes to go and Marian Hossa is still a Trasher. Shocking?

[astro]

come on LA, what are you waiting for?

[chad]

There's always a couple announcements that trickle in after the time deadline, but...

[dannybolt]

come on LA, what are you waiting for?
Yeah, we need LA to get better. Feaster has done what he could to lock up the first overall, now it's up to LA and Bettman. Do your part LA!

[Jester47]

10 minutes to go and Marian Hossa is still a Trasher. Shocking?

Yes, I was hoping he would get the hell out of our division.

[dannybolt]

I know, Astro. We both want them to get better, although for different reasons. :tongue:

[chad]

Gill was for a 2 and 5

NYR get C. Backman from STL for a 4

[WaiverWire]

Hossa to Pit

[TexasBolt]

The player is proven in the NHL and that pick is still WORLDS better than we got for Prospal, a legit top6 forward.

At least the Lightning had a mission for their trades - even though we all hate that mission. The Turds are sitting around like two seven-year-olds trading baseball cards of players they've never heard of.

[chad]

Hossa to Pitt.

Colby Armstrong rumored to go the other way. Details not announced.

EDIT:

Dupius going also for 1st, Esposito, Christensen, and Colby Armstrong

[dannybolt]

Whoa.
Hossa to Pittsburg for Colby Armstrong, Eric Christianson, Angelo Esposito, and a pick.

The Richards trade doesn't look so bad now, though...wait. DAMMIT!

[astro]

I know, Astro. We both want them to get better, although for different reasons. :tongue:

sorry, i mis-read your post and initially was offended. but i realize what you mean.

[TexasBolt]

Man, I think that's an overpay for Pittsburgh. I wish the Lightning had been so fortunate.

[backstop]

Whoa.
Hossa to Pittsburg for Colby Armstrong, Eric Christainson, Angelo Esposito, and a pick.

OMFG IM GONNA EXPLODE

AND WE GET MIKE SMITH FOR RICHARDS? $#(&*$#&!

[astro]

Man, I think that's an overpay for Pittsburgh. I wish the Lightning had been so fortunate.

we were robbed

[TexasBolt]

we were robbed

On the other hand, Hossa doesn't have three years and $23.4M left on his contract.

[backstop]

On the other hand, Hossa doesn't have three years and $23.4M left on his contract.

I understand Pitt only wanted a rental, but seriously! I bet Hossa signs for close to or more than Richards is making, and I am not a Hossa fan so his value is not high in my book.

[CTLightning26]

OMFG IM GONNA EXPLODE

AND WE GET MIKE SMITH FOR RICHARDS? $#(&*$#&!


Rental situation makes it different.
Pittsburgh could not have taken Richards' contract with Crosby's and Malkin's to come.

[the_narrow_way]

Richards' contract is a big anchor, that TB is no longer dragging. His trade value has obviously been diminished by it. I still don't fault Feaster for the contract though. All indications were that Richards was only getting better, and Feaster gambled. Looks like it was a failed gamble, but that happens.

[Jester47]

we were robbed

More than robbed, someone call in the SVU :help:

[CTLightning26]

Give him credit. Waddell just made himself much better for the future.
That's a great deal for a player who is good, but kinda slightly an underachiever in my book.

[TexasBolt]

Chris Simon and his anger management issues to MIN for a 6th rounder after the buzzer.

[WaiverWire]

chris simmon to the wild for a 6th round pick

[CTLightning26]

Chris Simon and his anger management issues to MIN for a 6th rounder after the buzzer.


doesn't make sense to me. Christ, why couldn't we get that for Roy. sh***

[chad]

There is NO reason why we should still have pending UFAs on our roster.

[CTLightning26]

Brad Stuart to Detroit for No. 2 and 4

[chad]

Brad Stuart to Detroit for No. 2 and 4

Kuba potentially in that same return range.

[CTLightning26]

except kuba they'd have to pay or trade next year.
but, geez, there are teams out there that need a d man. how about buffalo.
that's my biggest disappointment today - Kuba is still here.
:loco:

[backstop]

Kuba potentially in that same return range.

Stuart > Kuba

imho

[CTLightning26]

Marc-Andre Bergeron to Ducks for a third-round pick.
Puzzling.
why would either team do that?
--
Kilger to Turds

[backstop]

Slight correction to Hossa deal

The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired Marian Hossa and Pascal Dupopis from the Atlanta Thrashers for Colby Armstrong, prospect Angelo Esposito, Erik Chrsitensen and a draft pick.

I applaud Waddell. GREAT trade for the Thrashers.

Edit: THAT is what you get when you have LEVERAGE! They didn't HAVE to trade Hossa

[TexasBolt]

Phoenix traded a bunch of dudes to the Rangers for another bunch of dudes. Whatever.

[RSchmitz]

But wait, I thought Hossa's salary reduced his value?????:puke:

Burke was on TSN stating that he was looking for some depth. He got it.

[chad]

But wait, I thought Hossa's salary reduced his value?????:puke:

A top salary for 2 months isn't a big hit.

[CTLightning26]

Dudes for dudes
basically Marcel Hossa and Al Montoya for Fred Sjostrom.
Rags get Josh Gratton and goalie David LeNeveau for the Wolf Pack

[chad]

NYR get:

F. Sjostrom, Leneveu, and Josh Gratton

PHO gets:

Marcel Hossa
Montoya

FLA - Chad Kilger
TOR - 3rd!

What is FLA's fascination with Toronto's garbage?

I dunno, but I'm OK with it.

Easier to trade when the Leafs are in town i guess. LOL

[Avery86]

LA is just stocking up the picks (2nd and 4th for Stuart), meanwhile the Lightning pick up a 7th and two picks for NEXT year's draft? Woohoo

[CTLightning26]

Jan Hlavac to Nashville for a No. 7
well, guess it doesn't matter. But was looking for a No. 5

What the hell are you talking about? They DID have to trade Hossa and EVERYONE knew it!

I know Richards' contract made him a possibility for only a handful of teams, but there's no way anyone can tell me how a RENTAL like Hossa (and that is ALL that he is) could possibly fetch a FAR superior package. It's mind boggling. The Thrashers got two former high draft-pick forwards who are already in the NHL, a 2007 No.1 pick in forward Angelo Esposito and a 2008 No. 1 draft pick.

I give. UNCLE!

They most certainly did not have to trade Hossa. In fact, they made it known that they were willing to keep him and get nothing. I believe that is why they were able to do so good. I don't know why you think what I said is so ridiculous, as it seems we are in agreement that we got reamed for Richards and Waddell got a good package for Hossa.

[CTLightning26]

Of course they HAD to trade Hossa.
They tried for months to sign him.
The difference is they were dealing with teams that did not have to pay Hossa $23.4 the next three years. They are just getting him to push them over the top. There was real competition as well.
If Richy was playing a little better and he was a UFA, we would have been able to get something like that.
They were in a good spot because the teams they were dealing with felt they were one player from the Cup.
:wave:

[Bolthed]

Yeah, but THAT kind of package for an elite rental? You're supposed to get more for a guy that teams know they get to keep. We didn't. We got a package similar to what Wash gave Pitt for Jagr. And I think we've crippled the near future for the franchise.

But back to Hossa. I think a lot of us thought Waddell was one of the worst GMs in hockey after his deadline dealings last season and the roster he put together for this season. But lemme say, he blasted one out of the park on this deal. As bad as he did in giving up the farm last season (and at least it DID ensure that they made the playoffs), he turned it around and bolstered Atlanta's future today.

If only our trainwreck of a GM could figure out how to leverage a freakin asset, we might have a future too.

[timothy]

NAS acquires Bochenski from ANA for future considerations. Bochenski's 4th team in four years. Yikes.

NAS gets Hlavac and Bochenski in the splash to stay competitive in the West. Talk about Reclamation Village!

We are in agreement pretty much completely... we got reamed, ATL made out.

I think it's pretty clear that Jay is just a puppet at this point. And like I said before you have no LEVERAGE when you say "we are going to trade this person no matter what, no matter how shitty of an offer we get, we are gonna dump him like a piece of trash"... well, you're not gonna get shit back.

[Bolthed]

That's where we differ (slightly), Backy. I think it's just Jay being an incredibly sucky GM. And I think it's his reputation as a lamb to the slaughter when it comes to trades. I do NOT think it was a matter of leverage. Everyone knew by the last couple of days that Hossa and Richards would be dealt today. One's a rental and the other has a bad contract. I just can't fathom how one gets a huge package from a team that KNOWS it cannot re-sign him and the other gets middling crap. To me, it's got to be the decision-makers' fault.

[Evan]

Looks like the lightning picked up another 7th round pick for jay leach (also got some guy by the name of brandon segal)
What does this say about Hlavac, the lighting only got a 7th rounder for him, but leach fetches a minor leagure and a 7th rounder!

[Bolthed]

It says, "Stop letting Jay Feaster shop in the European bargain aisle."

[backstop]

It says, "Stop letting Jay Feaster shop in the European bargain aisle."

I say we sign 32 Euro bargain isle prospects and then trade them all for 7th round draft picks. If we had the whole 7th round, maybe we could find a Zetterberg, Khabi, St. Louis, Lundqvist or Hasek just by dumb luck. Bulletproof plan.

[TexasBolt]

I fail to see how what the Trash got for Hossa and what the Lightning got for Richards are that much different. I think there are a lot of people in "that's all we could get for him??" mode around here.

[timothy]

I fail to see how what the Trash got for Hossa and what the Lightning got for Richards are that much different. I think there are a lot of people in "that's all we could get for him??" mode around here.

Colby Armstrong makes me barf. He's a gutless puke, and is perfect for the Thrashers lineup. I think Esposito will be a dud. So does PIT apparently. I'm kinda neutral on Christensen, but given the dismal state of centers on the Thrashers roster, he could actually be a 2nd line center. The only thing to make that trade more perfect for the Thrash is if PIT had included Gary Roberts.

Those guys are nothing IMO.

Of course, the 2008 1st rounder is sweet.

[CTLightning26]

True
you could say Halpern and Jokinen are better than Christensen and Armstrong
you can make the argument that Smith is a better bet to be successful than Esposito.
Guess the late first-round pick makes Hossa deal slightly better.
:clap2:
