Breakin news folks! Ever since Alyonka Larionov has appeared on television, the trades have exploded out of the gate! We have two, yes two trades to report on since the lovely Ms Larionov has appeared on TSN.
Mike Commodore has left Detroit and landed in Tampa Bay. Detroit will receive a conditional 2013 7th round pick. Conditional meaning if nobody is worth drafting 196th overall next year, Detroit will receive a coupon for a free Shamrock Shake.
And putting our earlier trade to shame, Edmonton and Minnesota have actually swapped players! Most startling in this trade is the idea that these two defencemen actually play in the NHL. Nick Shultz for Tom Gilbert, which team got which doesn't seem to matter.
