whatever, the best part of trade deadline is panels of self-important blowhards struggling to make themselves look relevant.

I'm super excited.

I'm looking forward to the 10 minute on air phone calls with 4th line grinders.

Kinda torn. I'm really hoping Leafs overpay with a 1st, and still miss the playoffs. But then, it's to the lightning, which is up there with the Ducks as my most hated team outside of the other Canadian teams.

Maybe someone with a better reading/understanding of the expansion draft rules can answer this question?
My understanding is in that case Stone would count as the player we lose and we wouldn't lose another.

That was in one of the deepest drafts ever. This year's draft is one of the weekend. Doubt that gets it done

You're right, I forgot that was the 2013 draft.

Burrows to Ottawa? Kloke writes for the Athletic, Vice Sports, SI

Joshua Kloke @joshuakloke
Not my usual area here but hearing rumblings about the Senators and Alex Burrows. He's UFA after the season.

Joshua Kloke @joshuakloke
Hearing Burrows to Ottawa with extension could come through as soon as today.

Mike Commodore's twitter is saying talks of James Neal for Evander Kane.

Nashville seems to love attitude 'reclamation' projects

Another big one-for-one trade would be an idiotic move for team starting to figure things out.

Reading all of Commodore's tweets it looks like he is trolling.

Will the Sens be infected with the Mumps now?

Subban, Kane, Johanssen 3 guys who were rumored to not be overly popular with their previous teammates. Not sure that is a good deal for Nashville but similar to Weber-Subban they would do just as good on talent while getting younger

Brian Lawton @brianlawton9
Hearing @penguins & @Capitals are locked in a fierce battle for Kevin Shattenkirk. What's at stake a trip to #StanleyCup Final.

I'm hoping they let Shattenkirk play against the Oilers before trading him.

Basically it comes down to which team has the best chance at the Cup this year. I'd go with Pittsburgh because they have guys who have won two cups on that team. I'd go against Pittsburgh because they just won it last year and back to backs are now super hard to do.

Rentals don't exactly work out in WSH. From recent memory, how did Erat and Glencross pan out in DC?

Burrows was toxic before the mumps scare.
