Olli to the Rangers. Bad, bad, bad trade for Sutter. Kotalik is a fucking buster. (Unless, they are gearing up for a bigger move later this week.) ---

I’m really curious as to whom he’s going to play with. I can’t really think of anyone who would mesh well with a Russian such as Kovy. Parise, maybe? Zajac was most likely included in the trade. ---

> [@Joe](#): > > LOL at the people that thought buffalo had a shot at him…Darcy doesn’t have enough balls and Golisano wouldn’t drop that much cash. With the success that Darcy has had with this team, he’d be nuts to fuck it all up with a guy like Kovalchuk. While we were losing Drury/Campbell/Briere to stupid contracts, he was playing it safe and I guess it paid off. However, I’m LOL’ing at the people that think Buffalo has a shot to win the cup without a player like Kovalchuk. The Devil’s should know that in the past two decades, no team that has made a blockbuster pre-trade deadline aquisition has ever went on to win the cup. Just doesn’t happen. Google it. ---

> [@Joe](#): > > Playing it safe = conference finals to out of the playoffs. I agree, but I’d rather be out of the playoffs for a few years than strapped with $25 million tied up in Campbell, Briere and Drury. ---

Rumor is that its not Tedenby, but rather Patrice Cormier. I guess it makes sense. Nobody likes the guy and people in Atlanta don’t know about how he almost killed a guy in the QMJHL. ---

He turned down big money in Atlanta, It will be interesting to see what he will get come free agency time and who will give it to him. ---

> [@fiend540](#): > > He turned down big money **in Atlanta** , It will be interesting to see what he will get come free agency time and who will give it to him. That’s the key to this whole thing. He says he didn’t want to leave, but there comes a time when you don’t win anything for 8 years that it starts to get old. Especially when you see your big name players like Heatley and Hossa jump ship at the first chance. Atlanta isn’t a big enough market and the current owners are looking to sell. I don’t blame him. I’d rather make $75 million and go 54-19-9 and win The Cup, than go 27-50-5 and make $100+ million. The Devil’s can’t keep him beyond this season, that’s for sure. ---

Looks like Bergfors, Oduya, Cormier, and a first rounder. That’s what they just said on the Wash/ Rangers broadcast anyway. (CSN) EDIT: Anyone watching that game?? It’s crazy! Wash was down 4-2 and are winning 6-5 now. EDIT#2: Jersey gets Salmela as well. ---
