What a 48 hour period ... Phaneuf trade, then Jokinen deal ... all those bodies added in two transactions. Quantity over quality ...
Something went really sideways.

I had taken a week off work and booked time up at the Banff Centre. Wanted to get away from everything, focus on some writing, really disappear for the world. And there’s no better place to get away from everything than the Centre.
I got into my little dorm room on a Sunday afternoon. (I think it was a Sunday?) Set up my writing desk. Then I thought “Hey maybe I’ll check out CPuck.”
And of course the Phaneuf trade was going down like exactly at that moment. And then every hour there was some increasingly unbelievable new development to it all. So needless to say I didn’t do too much writing those first couple of days.
What a wild time.
