1. Trade that will have the biggest impact?
For sure the Pens adding Kilger was the biggest deal of the deadline.
In all seriousness I think that Becky did the most to improve her team, added solid veteran players to surround the likes of Jokinen, Richards and Hossa makes her team a lot better then it was heading into the deadline.
2. What teams didn't do enough to help themselves going into the playoffs or to start the rebuilding process?
Oilers are the definite choice here. I was shocked to see them not even pick up a few depth guys to help out their team. There were lots of temporary solutions offered to me that seemed to be available, and that team could have vastly benefited from picking up a few.
3. Are you happy with what you did and didn't do and why?
Well I made my moves heading into the deadline so I would not get involved in any bidding wars, which surprisingly did not happen this season. My lone trade of picking up Chad Kilger was a good one in my eyes as well as the trade to acquisition of Kapanen, that gave me a top 12 forwards of 73ov+, with 3 more depth guys rated 70+, and a top 6 dmen rated 75ov+ with another two depth dmen onboard.
4. Is there a team that has now become a contender after making trades yesterday?
Well with Becky's moves I think she can make some noise in the Howe.
5. Best/Worst trade of the day
None really stood out as overly bad, the best deal for both sides involved was the Bonk package for Ruutu, I think that deal benefits both teams quite well.
6. Add anything you can think of.
Super slow deadline, not 1 real blockbuster went down.
