Re: NHL trade deadline - today

whats the NHL?

Re: NHL trade deadline - today

the National (Tim) Horton's League. Serious coffee drinkers, and they make a mean doughnut.

Re: NHL trade deadline - today

Im not a huge hockey fan, actually, i don't watch it at all, but i do know that the Thrashers gave up two first round draft picks and some other round draft pick, plus a player, for Keith Tchuckfuck from st. louis. lol. I don't even care, but that's awesome for STL.

Re: NHL trade deadline - today

its not a permanent trade, by most accounts...tkachuk is a rental player. St Louis will more than likely reacquire him in the off season. tkcachuk is just there to help the thrashers win the cup, which they've stated is their goal this year.

Re: NHL trade deadline - today

ohh...

bertuzzi to detroit for a draft pick aaron ward to boston for paul mara

Re: NHL trade deadline - today

i'm just looking at it from the rebuilding standpoint, which the blues are obviously in. two first round draft picks! sick. tbh, tkfhuck didn't do much here anyway.

Re: NHL trade deadline - today

the problem with draft picks, even first rounders, is that it can take 3-5 years to see any real gains out of them. and the draft this year is probably the worst in a decade.

Re: NHL trade deadline - today

way to piss on my cheerios man.
