Some good stories from Doug MacLean on the Todd Marchant trade and Geoff Sanderson.

Yup. We are neither buyers nor sellers at this point (now that our one big UFA is gone). Obviously they should keep their ears to the ground and jump on something if a bargain comes up, but this is not really the time to make good hockey deals for the future.

Had a bunch of beers with Joey a few weeks ago, what a great guy, that is not speculation thats a fact. Hopefully he gets to suit up for the Sharks somehow.

But that's not fun. Not implying going whale hunting, necessarily. But I'm still waiting for Brad to really make any kind of stamp on the team in terms of acquisitions and fact is our offence is struggling and we gave up a piece up front without bringing anything in exchange.

Not exactly "encouraging" a playoff push if that's our only move.

Could see this. At the chance of getting some offence from him and losing Glencross I'd bring him in.

Penguins apparently have a deal in place to add another defenseman.

Nothing really of substance left. Leaf fans were in lala land thinking about returns for Lupul and Phaneuf, but most knew it wasn't realistic.

Media try to make it interesting for the ratings, but the writing was on the wall for this deadline after the week leading up to it.

The team is in a playoff race and you need two goalies.

Ramo's value to the team in the now far exceeds any future value they may have acquired in a trade. Do not forget Ortio is out long term with injury.

I think the Ortio injury was a big contributor to Ramo not being moved. Need two goalies for playoff push

How do you know they aren't going to re-sign him? Maybe jumping the gun a bit? something to re-visit when/if he actually leaves for another club.
