If only Lamoriello had half the resume of Fletcher. I bet he got fleeced by the Sens.

He did get fleeced, yes.

All these teams making moves have 50 year Cup droughts. They are desperate.

How long it has been since a team won a Cup has literally nothing to do with the decisions GMs make today. It's just something a weird clown guy on the internet thinks is relevant because he has severe mental issues.

Yeah because what happened in 2003 should have total bearing on what they do this deadline.

I can't believe Fletcher spent all the way to the cap ceiling, and all he has to show for it is the 9th best team in hockey at the deadline.

No chance of winning the Cap Space Cup this season.

I think the Caps GM is on vacation with his phone off cause they won the Cup in 2018.

Gotta say, Canes are great at trading for guys who are struggling with their teams. Nino, Dougie, and now Trochek. I'm sure there's another 1 or 2 I'm blanking on. Mrazek can be added to the list as a FA i suppose.

Decent move, and not a huge overpay. Makes sense for both teams.

Fletcher has an easy job today. Just answer the phone and get ready to say no, unless it is a mind blowing offer.

Looking at Trochek, it’s hard to see how the Flyers would have added him without including including a roster piece or two. I don’t think he was a “sell” trade by Florida. That sounds more like a shake up move

Pageau got a 1st, 2nd and 3rd!

holy crap that's a lot. Especially if they miss the playoffs.

Even if they make the playoffs, how far will Pageau push them? If their goal is to win a playoff round, then it's a decent trade. If their goal is to win the Stanley Cup, I don't think it's worth the cost because I don't think he's the piece they need.

Yeah, this was more of a hockey trade than a sell.

Hopefully this isn't true. Waste of time.

Nate Thompson to PHI for a 5th-rounder

LOL I'd rather play Bunnaman and keep the lottery ticket. Thompson is a bum.

Of all these teams making deadline trades, wheeling and dealing, sending assets out, taking on salary or pending UFA contracts, exactly how many of them are going to win the Cup this year?

I mean, it's a 5th, so whatever, but I would agree I'd rather keep Bunny.
