Things getting quiet on the Olsen front. Rockets will be bringing in a 20 though, think they were waiting on Olsen so if that looks like it won't happen they'll bring someone else in even if it isn't a big name.

The Rockets didn't really give up much. Perhaps you like Yorke a little more, but to me the guy is a liability every time he's on the ice. He's slow, can't move the puck with the pace the teamm plays at and runs around in his own zone a bit too much as teams target his side of the ice. Schmidli killed penalties but not much else and had absolute hands of stone.

The 1st always hurts (first time they've ever traded one) but it'll be a late pick and with Bruce as the chairman of the board it's probably in his best interest to not skew values around the league and make enemies by raping the Raiders in three separate trades this year.

There's been a lot of weird trades going down right now. Not sure what the Hitmen are thinking with Brendan Burke. They traded a backup for another backup and threw in a draft pick to boot. Burke has continually shown that he sucks but time will tell.

Also the Josh Connolly for Brycen Martin deal was voided after Connolly refused to report to Speedy Creek so Connolly goes to Prince George instead (not sure how thats better than Swift) for Marc McNulty (seems like a real bad deal for the Cougars).

Then you have Martin dealt to Saskatoon but the Blades inexplicably give up a 1st rounder along with Jordan Thomson (who's on like his 5th team already).

Just a lot of really interesting things happening right now.
