I'd give them a C...

- It is pretty clear management flubbed the Iginla deal by not getting his list of teams in print.
- Bouwmeester deal is a bit underwhelming to me since the pick is quite risky. If the Blues miss the playoffs (seems like a 50/50 chance right now) the Flames end up with a 2014 pick. I think the Blues are a great team, just under achieving right now, and I could easily see them rebound next season and be a top team in the West again (2nd last year). Also, I think there are some similarities between the Blues and last years Kings. It wouldn't surprise me if they go on a run in the playoffs.
- Comeau deal is good, but it still is a very small trade. This deal shouldn't significantly contribute to anyones grade.
- I would have liked to have seen at least one more significant trade, like a Stempniak, Butler, Sarich, Tanguay deal etc.
