NHL Trade Deadline 2K4!
I know it's a bit early for this (trade deadline isn't until March 9th) but most of the big trades go down before the deadline. Bondra is already on the Senators (still not enough to beat the Leafs) and the ****ing Red Wings just picked up Robert Lang for a prospect and two draft pick.
The Caps ares scratching Gonchar tonight because of 'flu' so he'll be heading somewhere tonight. Maybe Toronto. Hopefully Toronto.
So it has begun. The final push to the playoffs. Who is going where? What does your team need for the playoffs? Will Rangers sell off their roster of useless egos?
Seeing as the Leafs are winning the Cup this year does any of it matter.

Uh... Yah. That Redwings trade irks me. I like Langer. Guys like him should be off-limits to the Wings.
Actually, he can join Niclas Lidstrom and Steve Yzerman as "the only Redwings I respect". Anymore trades like this and I'm going to have to stop "hating them".
PS - Sean Burke was a pretty big trade, since Comrie was involved.
"if we can make the team better, we'll pull the trigger, but we're not going to make any stupid moves"
Dream trade for most Vancouver fans would see 'Burnaby Joe' Sakic playing at home.
Avs would never give him up, of course, but we can still fantasize about a Naslund Sakic Bertuzzi Line.
Besides, the Leafs are going to trade for Toddzilla and Jeff O'Neil and reform the line that won the Memorial Cup back in the day. Tucker, O' Neil and Bertuzzi is my dream.
I didn't know the Wings landed Lang til just now
Hedberg has done well in the playoffs so perhaps the Canucks can pull a Minnesota trick and have both goalies working the net during the Spring run for the Cup?
Soon... soon....

All I can say is that I hope the Rangers are very active and get some youth and a real goalie!
They could have used about 6 defensemen to, but that's not about to happen with the current guard.
Anyhoo, interesting trade the Devils made for Kozlov. They did need a big center, they rather undersized on O anyway. I'm not sure where exctly he fits in, which line he goes on except he probably won't break up the Gomez line for the time being. What's more interesting is that Lamorillo doesn't seem too interested in a safety net for Scott Stevens' position. The Devils are staring at their position in the NHL without Stevens, which is above average but not great like they were. I wonder if Lamorillo will make a big move in the offseason for a young, punishing, talented defenseman, but who is in the market? You know he doesn't want to give much up, maybe a couple of his rookie D guys, but preferrably a free agent I suppose. They have big plans for Hale and Martin, but how patient can he afford to be with them?
Kozlov was a good pickup for the Devils whose weakness (as always) is offense. Don't know that he fit the bill to a T, but I think he can only help make them stronger offensively. I know he was a bit of a locker issue guy, but I still don't know why Lou gave up on Arnott. He could have been their core power forward guy for years to come.
Go Leafs Go!
To the cup... and beyond!
ps. for some stupid reason the leafs (and fans) think Colaiacovo is the second coming of Bobby Orr, which is cleary untrue. this is why there is no gonchar in t dot
And the Sens in the Cup final!?! Not if they have the play the Leafs at any point. The Sens know they can't beat the Leafs in playoffs.
