Also, the "deadline" area deals were Chris Simon and Marcus Nilson, hardly game changers. Niemenen you might have an argument for, but marginally.

Niemenen-Nilson-Donovan was a pretty effective line, not sure how there is only a maybe argument for one guy.
Not only that, the team as a whole was very good under Playfair and Keenan, a top team in the West. A lot of moves were going for it during the window. Sure they disappointed in the playoffs, but for some were also brutally injury riddled.
