Looks like Flames were smart to move Hudler early, the forward market just isn't there.

Guys like Stempniak, Parenteau, Vrbata, Eriksson, Hartnell, McGinn etc are all still available with 15 minutes left. Hard to drive a bargin when it's a buyers market on forwards.

Flames and Leafs big winners at the deadline so far IMO amongst the sellers.
Really like what WPG got for Ladd as well.

I wonder if we see a guy likeEngellend moved today? That way Spoon and Nakladal stay up and we can get out of that salary. Could see Pitt taking him back he was beloved in that room

Sellers that did their dealings early got good deals.

Everyone else looks like they're just holding on.

Obviously deals will trickle in after the cutoff time, but right now it's looking like several teams are going to be left holding onto assets that will walk away july 1st.

Will never happen. Stevie Y said Drouin deadline trade has to make them better this year.

Misinformed you are. Or Bob is. I'm leaning towards you:

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 6m6 minutes ago
15 minutes to deadline. Drouin Watch still on. Sense seems to be most of TB's action is future considerations more than here and now help.

Well technically, shinkaruk isn't suspended by the team so simply playing him would be an improvement over drouin

I think I am more surprised than anything that NSH hasn't done anything.

Wonder if Chicago is just throwing confusion into the Hamhuis trade dealings to slow Dallas down.

I hope Drouin is traded just so it is no longer a discussion.

If it's here, then all the better.

Yeah, in retrospect CGY did great on Hudler too.

I wanted a kid a couple of years into development. BT got two for Russell and a legit shot at a 1st.

Really good trade deadline for Flames. Anything else is gravy.
