They'll do their usual roster bombing, and yet ... Come out better.

Jeremy Morin going back home.

then landed in CBJ and got injured.

I like him (scoring winger) but it never happened with him in Chi. He has done all the scoring he can in the minors. next step is do it at the NHL level while on 3rd line and not getting much PP time

CBJ adds Saad to mix with Johansen and kid Wennberg. and boone jenner is a bull in a china shop at wing.

if they could just get (unlucky bad breaks killed him so far) Ryan Murray at D to get his knee right they have a #1 d-man there.

Bob in goal is top notch.

Todd Richards has a good thing going.

Jeez, wherever John Davidson lands good things soon follow.

CHI traded Saad because he was looking for 6 yrs with AAV of $6.5M. May have been an offer sheet coming tomorrow from a team with those #s.

Wait a minute: you have sharp and bickell, who are basically dead weight on your roster, and you don't cut or deal them for picks before the draft. You then trade Saad, who is a Brendan Shanahan type power forward with more skating ability, for a guy who was on your roster before, a center, and another wing player. And you don't improve your blue line, where a lack of depth almost cost you a Cup this year? I'm going for a very aggressive sparring session now and will pretend that my buddy Mike is Stan Bwman.

Wings fan that I work with when it happened:

Lou Nanne was on Barrerio's show yesterday. He couldn't believe that trade and feels like Bowman panicked when he couldn't get a contract worked out with Saad before free agency. Louie said Bowman got taken to the cleaners on that deal. He said you absolutely NEVER trade a player like Saad who is already probably the 4th most important player on the team and only 22. You have to find a way to pay him. It sounds like Bowman was having a hard time unloading Sharp because of his contract.

Hahaha! I'm still not happy about the move. It appears that Bowman had a set value for sharp and nobody was willing to give him what he wanted. He was dealing from a position of weakness and he caved.

Lou is right with his analysis of the trade, in my opinion.

What I don't understand is why he would rather give away Saad for nothing than Sharp for nothing. That makes no sense. He should have accepted getting fleeced on a deal for Sharp and paid Saad. As Louie said. "the Wild closed gap on Chicago without doing anything".

Sounds like they will have to trade Sharp away too.

Meh, the Wild are deep in quality D and they are already paying too much money for guys at the same stage of their careers as Martin. I like Martin a lot, but the Wild clearly had more important priorities.

Agree. It was just a cool "thought" when it was brought up. MR was a much bigger get.

Pisses me off that my teams whine about caps and limits and budgets ... yet teams like the Penguins are able to have three of the leagues highest-paid players on the same roster.
And the rest of their roster will somehow end up being pretty damn good.

The Penguins don't have Koivo, Backstrom, Cooke, and Pomm eating up extra salary either. Those are the Fletch warts right now.
