Huge over payment for an average defenseman at best, you could of given those picks up with Connoly earlier in the season and got Myers in return....

Wow steep price. Was this the NYR 1st rounder?

Your grandmother sounds like a lovely woman. Maybe yzerman will trade stamkos and a 1st for her?

I'm going to party Tuesday night when I no longer see sustr playing with Hedman thank you yzerman.

I think the way the trade is set up it'll be the later of the two. Whichever that is.

The first rounder is lottery winner protected, which means if the Bolts miss the playoffs, and win the lottery, Philly gets the Rangers pick. otherwise, it's Tampa's pick.

I agree that this can't be his finished product, I see a Sam Gagne move here, don't get your airplane ticket yet Mr Colburn. Sorry to see Radko go and Connelly was playing better but still not able to crack the top six.

With these two teams forget about lottery picks for awhile

Oh, yeah. I fully expect that Coburn 1st rounder to be a late 1st rounder.

I also doubt that the lottery will be a factor at all

As long as stevie is doing crazy things why not get vinny back and sign mike Richards!

Except Buffalo didn't want picks...

I've been high on Connolly since his draft year and am absolutely thrilled the B's nabbed him. Its been 5 years since he was drafted and hasn't solidified himself in the NHL yet, should that be of concern to Bruins fans? He seems to have high upside and in the Bruins system could be very effective.

I'm expecting him to play with Krejci or Bergeron, so I am expecting 20-25 goals a year.

Why is it that so many of you haven't learned to trust Yzerman at this point?

Coburn had term. Petry is a rental.

Coburn is more sound defensively than Petry.

Sad to see Connolly go. I have a feeling he'll be a pain in our sides for a long time.
I am not sad to see Gudas go. I've been saying for a while he was overrated and got bashed for it. Going for the big highlight reel hit at the wrong time...He'll fit right in in Philly. Coburn isn't a savior but he solidifies our top 4/top 6. That 1st round pick is basically a 2nd as it should be in the 24-30 range anyways. Calm down people, we are gearing up for the playoffs.

As an outsider, I'm not a fan of the Coburn deal. The 1st and 3rd seem excessive to me with Gudas.

Regardless, hope to see your team in St. Louis in June
