Yeah, well if I was just establishing myself as a NHL player, had only known one organization while in the NHL system, and was headed towards a high seed playoff birth... and I got traded to a place where my future was uncertain, I barely know anyone at all, and was tied for third worst in the league (and english was my second language) I'd sound bummed to.

I believe he uses Kevin at Starbucks and that's why the guys started calling him that

Any chance he plays tonight?

Nope. Will join team in Boston

Evgeni isn't even a particularly tough name either.

Beef, fish and seconds being the return for Russell. Not bad.

Maybe Jokipakka is upset because he knows Wideman wasn't dealt away today and might have to play as his partner?

I for one am dreading spelling 'Jokipakka' for years to come. Although its fun to say.
That being said I hope they pair him with Nah-Claw-doll just so I can listen to the play-by-play guy's head explode.
"Jokipakka to Nakladal, Nakladal back to Jokipakka, Jokipakka winds up...he shoots! Rebound back to Nakladal...he slides it back to Jokipakka."

Jokipakka will pretend to like the Flames but be sure to always voice his disapproval everytime they do something he doesn't approve of.
EVERY. DAMN. TIME.

Stars fans hate this trade therefore I love it. Seriously though, amazing return for Russell. Was hoping to see a few more bad contracts moved out but we can't get everything. Overall very pleased with the day.

Great trade by Treliving. Was hoping we would score a goalie, but no worries, all summer to do that.
Obviously there will be a whole bunch of Stars fans around here.
Then, we re-sign Russell in the summer at a super friendly cap hit, then trade him again!

I watched the highlights posted on Pollock and have to wonder if I am the only one excited about him? Too far away for others?
