Interesting. All it cost Pittsburgh was a 7th or 6th round pick. Pretty good rental, if he plays well.

Deadline day is going to be a ghosttown, huh.

Aye. Seems the Penguin's aren't giving up just yet.

[Callisto]

I don't recall there being so many trades last year, and a lot of these are at least medium if not big, kinda crazy so far.

[Dolmen]

Habs acquired Brent Sopel and Nigel Dawes from Atlanta in return of Ben Maxwell and a 4th round pick.

Sopel going to Montreal? Kinda jealous. Yes I'm being serious.

[Selamis]

Hmm, not sure how I feel about that trade.

[Penthesilea]

Zherdev clears waivers. Pressbox til playoffs to avoid reentry waivers? Injuries killed the flyers last year in the playoffs, having him as insurance would be pretty sweet.

[Palin]

Ya TSN should cancel their deadline show. It's going to be 8 hours of:

"11:30 here in Toronto, still no Brad Richards trade."
"2:15 here in Toronto, still no Brad Richards trade."
"4:55 here in Toronto, still no Brad Richards trade. We expect something might get done before the deadline in 5 minutes."
"5:01 here in Toronto, still no Brad Richards trade. As you know sometimes it takes a bit of time for trades to be announced through the league, so something might have happened. Stay with us."
"5:05 here in Toronto, still waiting to hear of a Brad Richards trade.
"5:15 here in Toronto, looks like Brad Richards has not been trade. Panel let's talk for 2 hours about what this means."

Shit, wow.

[Selamis]

Pretty sure Richards isn't going anywhere since Joe Nieuwendyk is asking the world for him if they were to move him. He told the Rangers he'd consider a trade for Richards only if they gave up Marc Staal, Brandon Dubinsky, and Derek Stepan for him lol.

Only reason tehre is a show is because Leafs think they have a chance.

Sources reporting Bryan McCabe to the New York Rangers.

Details undisclosed at this point.

"Orange"

Hmm...

So does that make it an E4?

There isn't a single person in Leafland that thinks we're getting Richards. Get off your leafbashing bandwagon and get your head out of your ass.

I just heard on TSN that last year they hit the league record for trades but I don't know what time frame they were referring to. I don't recall many huge trades though last year that's for sure.

lol @the TorontoSN Deadline show it's so true.

[isladar]

Get off your leafbashing bandwagon

Oh come now, there's plenty of room for everyone!
