@FakeElliottFriedman 1m ago: Winnipegs GM is apparently blowing things up and no one is safe. Hearing a bunch of names out there. Raymond, MacArthur among the leading names..

@FakeBobMcKenzie 27s ago: Winnipeg GM must have had enough after massive losing streak, hearing highly touted prospect Evgeny Svechnikov has been dealt to a team in the East.

@Eklund 2m ago: Told 4 players marching out of Winnipeg today. Still waiting on a source to confirm where to. Maybe after lunch.

@FakeDreger: Lots of activity in Tampa today. Could be the landing spot for the 4 players being told they've been traded in WPG.

Could be just me, but if dealing guys like Mason Raymond and Clarke MacArthur is "blowing it up", its probably already been blown up for a while!

(but awesome to see lots of trade activity nonetheless!)

Perhaps this is the "blowing up" that is going on????

Didn't have much to begin with when I took this team over. Not a lot of younger assets, two or three really good high priced vets.

We now have a growing stable of good youth coming in and at the very least, the next few years looks to be a bit brighter. So blowing up a core of middling wingers is still big, especially when there's some solid youth incoming.

This guy kind of looks like Rob Kerr

@FakeBobMcKenzie 13s ago: Breaking! Trade call final. WPG trades Clark MacArthur, Evgeny Svechnikov, Mason Raymond and Bryan Bickell to TB for McDonald, Rattie, Khokalechev, Paille, Erat and 4.5 million cheese. Big trade.

I like the deal a lot for TB. Gets rated upgrades and the best prospect.

[Slava]

Good deal gents! I think I like it a bit better for the Jets.

[SportsJunky]

Nice deal guys.

[droopydrew19]

I completely agree with Swayze. We needed to get Some more depth for the third and fourth lines. in addition we got one of the top prospects in the Detroit redwings Pipeline.
