Can confirm Jonathan Drouin was NOT traded before the deadline

Hopefully the Flames have been working on something to deal Jones
Boring for most teams, but from a Flames perspective, it looks like it was a good day. Oilers nothing, Canucks bombed, Toronto couldn't do anymore, etc.

To be fair to Benning, Hamhuis didn't sound like he was too accommodating.

Just heard from #Canucks source that no #Hamhuis deal getting done.

Benning going to get roasted.
Amazing.

Worst GM in the NHL by a country mile. This is a league with guys like Marc Bergevin and Kevin Cheveldayoff. Soooooo glad we decided to go with Treliving over Benning.

Won't be too bad on Hamhuis. He'll resign in a heartbeat given how reluctant he was to leave. Reckon he'd even take a hometown discount to stay.

As for Vrbata, that is hilarious. I know he is 2 years older than when he was last on the market, but I'd like to see us go for him in the free agency.

Wonder how much truth there is to this draft being weak.

Very few picks moved in this draft, and many of the picks that were traded were for future seasons (2017 & 2018 picks).

Also think Chicago going so hard, so early may have discouraged some teams. Didn't want to stock up only to lose to that team again.

Also, just as a point of ethics, I'm glad Drouin is not going to play professional hockey the rest of this year. Serves him right for bailing on the team.

Sounds like he would have came back even if they did trade him, so not sure why its not bad.

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.

The horn has gone. Hamhuis deal apparently coming.

Could we have spoken too soon on that one?

TSN questioning whether this is one of the worst deadlines in history, make it one of the better ones for me.
