Glad we didn't take on any bad contracts.
Glad we didn't lose prospects for rental UFAs.
Glad we didn't go hunting whales; no Phaneuf, Kessell, OEL monster deals.
Happy with the return for Glencross. Sad to see Sven go, but I'm happy to move on.
Would have liked to strengthen the team a bit, but the guys I wanted (Coburn, Connolly, Wizniewski, Michalek & Stewart) all went for returns which were WAY higher than I was comfortable with. Glad we stayed clear.
Added Schlemko, who is a decent veteran D, for nothing.
Playoffs are now very unlikely, but gutting the team out for magic beans sends the wrong message. In a strange way, Treliving has shown faith in the current squad. Even without Gio I bet they believe they can get into the playoffs and you know Bob 'artley is going to get the best he can out of these guys.
So I guess I'd rate this deadline 'meh'... But a good 'meh'.
