very very well

but they are porspects

I thought the flames did well, as did the oilers


I have no clue what the bruins were thinking, should have moved chara and kept hamiton and lucic IMO

Calgary did well.

my guess was the bruins did not want him in the east

bruins are going to move a goalie now right?

Given recent events I'm interested to see how they handle certain players. We seem overly stacked at C and LW right now.

I have to imagine that Cody Hodgson is gone. I also wonder if they're looking to transition Reinhart to wing. If O'Reily and Eichel are your locked in 1/2 centermen, I doubt you want Reinhart and Girgensons at 3/4 C...or do you?

Then you have players like Legwand and McGinn. Is the intention for them to even have a role on this team?

Are we looking to roll 4 legit lines or use the 4th line as an energy line? One direction eliminates the need for players like Kaleta and McCormick.

A lot of questions and what if's for me right now.

Busy day for Murray, and I am excited moving forward.

I didn't flinch at O'Reillys cost, but I did a little at Lehners. But at the same time, I'm not overly concerned at this point, because it seems like Ottawa goalies have a better track record after they leave, then while they are a Sen.

You mean just like Patty Lalime?

F BUFFALO!


(but in all seriousness, it looks like a pretty good series of moves to me... Trading picks for young, but already fairly developed players? Smart, since you have the money.)

The Calgary Flames announced today that they have acquired defenceman Dougie Hamilton from the Boston Bruins in exchange for Calgary’s 2015 first round pick (15th overall) and two second round picks (45th overall and 52nd overall – previously acquired from the Washington Capitals).

McGinn will probably slot in on the 3rd line

I'm guessing Sweeney didn't want him staying in the conference along with lucic. Question. Why up until yesterday pretty much this entire thread was against trading Zadarov to the Avs for ror saying that would be a complete overpayment(and you gave up a lot more than just him)and after the trade this entire thread is rejoicing?

If we could somehow pull Nash and Yandle, I'd be the happiest man on earth. Give up next 2 years first 2 rounds of picks and some prospects... Shiyeet next 3 years if that's what it takes.
