Bob Gainey proved that hes one of the worst GM in the league. He did not move and the Habs will probably miss the playoffs.
Thanks Bob, thanks...
The Ryan Smith deal was a pretty good deal for Edmonton, only thing is that they did not tell the other GM's that Smith was available so maybe they could of had more for him... it was a last minute thing.
I cant believe Boyes got traded, for me he's like one of the great prospect in the league, maybe im overating him or something....
The Red Wings deal for Bertuzzi is awesome. They are a smart team. They have a ton of condition for the trade, if they go to the Stanley Cup and Bertuzzi plays enough, they give a first round, if they get into the final four and Bertuzzi is one of the teams leader in points, they also give their first round pick. If not they can give a 8th round pick or something... pretty smart deal

I think the Flyers had the intent to move Esche but just couldn't get it done. That is giving Paul Holmgren the benefit of the doubt. I know Esche and Biron are due to be free agents with Nittymaki becoming an unrestricted free agent. What might happen is Esche will be let go, Nittymaki will get a short deal and they will try and lock up Biron long term. For years, the Flyers have been trying to get a true number one goaltender.
Anyway, the Flyers situation this deadline has improved. Paul Holmgren has done a better job then Bobby Clarke, but not dealing Esche was a shot in the foot.
Outbound --2 UFA's (1 of whom may re-sign here) --2nd round pick --High priced 35 year old defenseman
Inbound --Scottie Upshall --cheap 25 year old defensman who is a + rating on a bad team --1st round pick --3rd round pick --20 year old 1st round defense prospect --21 year old 1st round defense prospect --#1 goalie

I know this is random but I heard a story that prior to being traded, Forseberg and Gagne were hanging out in downtown Philadelphia when they came across a group of some women. Forseberg gained some status with me. He supposedly went up to them and basically asked them if they were down with having group sex with him.

I don't really like Biron as a starter for my team, but in the Flyers situation, seeing how they want no business with Esche and they're coming to the realization that Nittimaki isn't Jesus, it might just work for the time being. I really can't see this marriage last any more than a couple years until they're back on their feet. Simply put, I wouldn't trust this guy in net in the playoffs. Too many questions thus far in his career and he's only getting older.

I think all Flyers fans will take their shots with Biron in net compared to the days of Roman Cechmanek.

Biron will have his chance to prove what he can do before the season ends.
And Freak if the Forsberg story is true, he's already my fav player but with this I love him even more hahaha

Listen, we need to lay off Cechmanek. He did something that's very hard to do. He was a starting NHL goalie AND Mr.Bean on tv. I'd like to see you do that.
