The good thing is from a team standpoint nothing is changing for tonight and most likely tomorrow.

Clowe picked where he was going. Pomminville also submitted a list of teams. I would not want gaborik. Doesnt fill a need. We were apparently runner up on Bishop. With what Ottawa got back I think we would have had to offer up MPS plus a pick at least. That would have been a steep price.

The only deal I saw go down that I would have liked Tambo to do was Torres for a 3rd.

That would have SUCKED to trade Paajarvi+ for a goalie prospect.

Sounds like Hackett and Larsson to me. To be honest that seems like little and I don't even like Pomminville.
- Lahey

agreed.

i dont think thats a crazy package at all.

Everyone wants Tambs to make a move, but would freak about that trade.

I don't want Tambs to simply make a trade for the sake of making a trade. I want want him to evaluate the team's biggest needs and fix it by whatever means he can. And it is my personal opinion that Goalie is a loooow need compared to some of the other holes on our roster.

It's like they just made the deal to have a better shot at sucking and had to get a deal done.

With that being said sometimes getting actual prospects is better then getting that 1st rounder

funny that ive moved off of begging tambs to do something to just hoping he doesnt destroy any chance of immediate success...

Yeah, here we are at the deadline and the team has met expectations for me.

We were even slight buyers in terms of shelling out a 3rd and 4th for Smithson and Brown.

true.

matt hackett is a backup or secondary starter. and larsson isnt what id call a blue-chipper at all.

strange

then edm would have lost, since senators wanted a top 6 forward in return.

That is where our opinion differs. I think the goal tending consistency is our largest gap. We don't have a top 30 goalie unless habby is having a good game.

Paajarvi can go. I'm talking about an untouchable list. I'm talking about packaging up good prospects for established players, not other prospects.
