[NHL] MetroHockey Division (and the rest of the league)

Reimer, Marty St. Louis, and Kesler. They may also speculate on Broder since (pretty sure) he did say he would consider leaving New Jersey if they don't make it to the playoffs.
Now that's cold.
We're an awful team even with him and Miller made it clear that he wants to play for a contender. He's a UFA after this year so we wanted to get some draft picks and prospects for him rather than lose him for nothing in a few months. I'm not happy that he's gone, but it was without a doubt the right decision.
without Jay to at least make jokes and point out how ridiculously boring trade day coverage is, TSN will be brutal to watch today. All the really big stuff has happened unless something ACTUALLY comes of the St. Louis, Kessler and Brodeur talks.
Poile keeps saying Legwand isn't going to be traded. I really hope he's right, but I don't see him being a Predator beyond this year, unless he gives the team a huge hometown discount.
The Luongo trade surprised me, but didn't. Vancouver will be in the position Edmonton is in right now, within five years, guaranteed.

Yeah there really wasn't anyone to take him. He wants to go somewhere he can win, and none of the serious contenders are in the market for a goalie right now. Miller (especially) and Luongo filled the gaps.
So, everyone happy?
Not a lot of trades, but there were some surprising ones (And some that would have been surprising if hockey analysts hadn't been reporting on the rumours for weeks already). Some big names moved for sure.
Bit of a letdown Toronto didn't make any moves, but at the same time I don't think there is a move they could have made that'd make me happy right now. We aren't exactly a shoo in for the playoffs so getting a player short term does nothing for us. Better to keep what we got and look to the future.

Rich Peverley collapsed on the Dallas Stars bench during the game tonight. He was taken off, treated for his A-Fib, and taken to the hospital.
The game was cancelled, make-up date to be determined.
He came-to in the medical room, and immediately asked the coach how much time was left in the game. And if he could get back into the game.

We have a saying in Smashville: "Give it to Shea and GET OUT OF THE WAY!"
He's back with the team, but out for the season. I do doubt that he'll be able to find someone to sign him for the insurance costs (see: Steve Sullivan), but if they can do something to decrease the likelihood of a recurrence, he might be out on the ice again next season.

People dont understand how defribulators work, thanks to tv and movies. they hear a defrib was used and this is what they think happened.
