Official NHL Trade deadline thread

Bernier is a big dude… I can’t find much about him though. tsn.ca player profiles usually show what their potential is… but its not up today for what ever reason :frowning:

i would kill for jokinen here…

but wgr saying they may be done for the day …

but they said that last year.

so ill believe it when it hits 3pm

Good move by WSH iMO

no they dont…

as per tsn…

its a done deal :wink:

kthxbye

to chi: Andrew Ladd
to Car: Tuomo Ruutu

Why did Buffalo get a forward?
Will he be gone in another trade today?

OMG WE HAVE JOKINEN!!!

to Buff: Another shitty playoff run

ok ok ok I lied about that… we don’t have jokinen I figured it would be a fun joke

Im not a sabres fan, but it was a dumb joke.

idk, but hopefully someone else will go ahem Max ahem, for another big D-man

bernier isn’t bad, i dunno why everyone is getting so worked up lol and they got a 1st rounder too. plus who knows, maybe they are gonna package some of that for another trade later on

Gee who said this??? o ya me :smiley:

Brian Campbell’s agent was on WGR SportsRadio 550 right after the trade was announced. He stated that Campbell was not happy with the news as the defenseman really wanted to remain in Buffalo.

not happy lol… thats when you accept a 6mil a year contract

they won’t trade him…they don’t need to

Anyone with half a brain could of predicted campbell leaving at the deadline… And they wouldnt trade a good defenseman for a worse one so obviously they were to get an offenseman.

darcy on WGR

“we want to get back upstairs… we have 3 hours left”

hopefully they’re not done

Couple comments.

Sabres trade, doesn’t seem half bad. Who HONESTLY thinks we’re a cup contender this year? Right, we’re not, so you trade Campbell now so you can get something for him. He’s not worth THAT much because he’s unrestricted and anyone that takes him knows they may lose him. We picked up a good power forward who’s only 22, a restricted free agent so we can hold on to him, and a first round pick for our depleted farm team.

I can understand not trader Briere or Drury last year because last year was supposed to be our Cup year.

My money is on the Sabres being done for the day.

As for Montreal, I don’t think they’re done today. They moved Huet because they have some other big deal in the works to bring in a great goalie. Either that or they’re retarded. We’ll know by 3pm.

it wasn’t the dollar amount, it was the term. for some reason buffalo wouldnt commit
