I don't care to be honest. Playoffs were never really my goal.

On a short season where our team played together in OKC- I think many expected this team to be good early... but now if we finish good we should be at or near playoffs as I still say we are a better team than the red wings despite the losses to them, we are better than Nashville as well... and we are sure as hell better than Dallas and Columbus...

We addressed a hole at 4th line center. This was a good day. It puts Lander back down in the minors

Pffffft!

So do we trade Gagner, Brown and Klefbom/Marincin for Gaborik to do this?

Its true- we had trouble in like 15 of the last 20 games in the 3rd periods where we did not know how to close out a game- seemingly enough in this 4 game win streak we have the confidence to do it... I would love for this team to play the wings 3 more games- I bet we take 2 of them if not all 3...

So who? A lot of the guys that were dealt had NTC.

Tambs talking about the medium picks offered at the expense of roster players, and said it was never really considered.

Good man

just saying we should have improved our team today I wanna see the guys make the playoffs. Could have improved the D. A ton of draft picks traded today so we should have traded ours.

You're just saying nothing though. Who was out there that we could've gotten who would've made us better.

Even adding a guy like Pominville for non-roster players, does he actually help us?

Gord Miller ‏@GMillerTSN 3m
Min/Buf trade: Sabres send Jason Pominville and a 4th in '14 to the Wild for Johan Larsson, Matt Hackett a 1st in '13 and a 2nd in '14.

Okay that makes a big more sense. Kinda too much though now.

Apparently WSH could have a big deal with Stafford and maybe more.

Tambo is a god damn idiot. Why would u pick up a piece of poop like smithson? Omg tambo is worse then feaster.

Agreed. At least not yet.

Not sure how moving a 4th equals us getting worse.

Confidence and health goes a long way...

Smithson sure in the (frank) does not make us better. I would rather gamble with a 4th then have him.

Maybe next year the teams are even but not quite yet.
