How'd your team fair?
I like what the Canes did with adding Allen. Samsonov hasn't done anything since '08.
Also, Stillman has skated great and took a leadership role in MTL when Staal was out (even though we lost)
Now we'll see what boye's does for B-lo. Should be fun....

If Boyes can even come close to looking like he did in 07-09 this could be a great deal for Buffalo. I think they finally have a real legit top 6 thats been slacking since the Briere/Drury days.
Edit: It all still comes down to Miller standing on his head for the team to go anywhere however...

T-birds got a great penalty killer in Dvorak which we desperately needed, got a solid playmaker and shootout specialist for free with schremp, and got rid of some dead weight (modin). could have gotten more for bergfors, but he's a very lazy player whose minor offensive contributions don't make up for his defensive lapses.
glad we didn't do much buying, because this season seems over.

I was surprised the Canucks did anything.
We traded two thirds, Oberg, and Joel Perrault
for
Higgins and Lapierre
We won these deals. The thirds are the biggest cost, but I feel our team at this moment should be willing to part with third rounders to get a better chance at the cup. We still have our 1st and 2nd. Also, Gillis' free agent signings like Tanev make up for the loss of picks.
On top of that, Oberg and Perrault were reallly low on our depth chart. Oberg was the last guy called up when we had that crazy rash of injuries that left us with the Manitoba Moose defence. I've never been big on him. Perrault couldn't crack our fourth line, he can s my d.
Higgins and Lapierre are great pick ups and should challenge Mason Raymond, Raffi Torres, and Jannik Hansen for ice time. Although I am fully confident in those three players, having the option of dropping them down in the lineup for somebody as capable doesn't sound like the worst idea.
