OFFICIAL TRADE DEADLINE DAY THREAD!

[JD]

I'm excited, because I think it's possible something big will happen for us.

Never in a million years did we think we would land an owner like Pegula.. and we did.

So whose to say our actions at the deadline won't change?

:boom:

If that is true, St Louis is destroying their team. Complete overhaul.

[Ngxtreme13]

wait....we just signed a semi known player?
before the actual deadline....?
for more than a rental?
holy hell

[JD]

TSN is now reporting the deal is done.

It's almost as if we have a new owner or something..

RT @LeopoldsIpod tim connolly should listen to mj... specifically beat it.. or the unreleased get the **** off my team #Sabres

:rofl:

[JD]

The Buffalo Sabres, who sit two points out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with two games in hand, have added some scoring punch.

The club acquired forward Brad Boyes from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for a second round pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.

for those of you with NHL network, you can follow tsn's tradecentre starting at 8am :)

as far as this move... i like it

[trapezeus]

the fact they moved on this late tonight, makes me think there is a couple more moves that they want to make tomorrow.

giving up a second for a player of Boyes' abilities sounds good right now. Boyes just has to not raffe torres himself for this back end of the season.

in raffi's defense he was coming off of a injury and you can tell wasn't in a fast paced teams shape.... not a surprise he didn't do well here....

[CuseJetsFan83]

oh sweet jesus, i know people here hate eklund but he has connolly to LA :P

also some buffalo radio station has some guy that wants to have buffalo going after stephen weiss

http://www.wben.com/Sabres-Prepare-For-NHL-Trade-Deadline/9290596

would weiss be a decent fit?

Exactly. I think we move Connolly tomorrow to regain our 2nd.

Odds are, that 2nd will be better than the one we just gave up!

Oh, and here's Lydman getting his ass kicked by Boyes:

[trapezeus]

well merry trade deadline day. This ranks second to thanksgiving for me with christmas a close third.

May all our dreams come true. If we pick up scoring and grit and an extra draft pick, then i will undoubtedly swing the pendulum back in darcy's favor.

[OpIv37]

Leafs and Blues are definite sellers. Rumor here in DC is McDonald going from the Blues to the Caps, and the Caps are also after Arnott. Looks like they're trying to improve for the playoffs as well.

[clumping platelets]

I want Liles and Arnott and get rid of Connolly

[CuseJetsFan83]

wow noon and only 1 official trade

[CuseJetsFan83]

Calgary claims Brett Carson on waivers from Carolina
curtis McElhinney to the senators (from lightning)

Translation: Reiger is saying that he hasn't seen an offer he likes yet, and any team that may be interested better up the ante.

yeah well that is definitely a different tone than a few days ago when he was "untouchable"

[OpIv37]

it isn't going to help Ottawa unless they get an exemption from the league that allows them to play all 3 on the ice at once.

[CuseJetsFan83]

mcE is on his 3rd team this year... nothing more than just a backup.....
i do like anderson but he has nothing ahead of him

leclaire is the sens version of connolly........ always finds himself injured.... and i had the "luxury" of suffering thru his goaltending in syracuse for a few years

Come on Darcy! Liles!!! Trade Butler/Connolly.

[DrGraves]

i have a feeling darcy is not going to get anything significant done. the man sucks at his job.... i hope he gets fired right at three.

[Michael82]

Looks like the Boyes trade was our typical Darcy trade (Bernier, Torres, Moore, Etc.) :yawn:

[DrGraves]

don't forget torres!

[CuseJetsFan83]

don't forget torres!

torres was great on paper.... just didn't pan out...... i can't really fault him on that one especially coming back from injury and playing on a slower team.......

[CuseJetsFan83]

The #capitals (http://twitter.com/#%21/search?q=%23capitals) aren't over the cap. They appear over on our site because we haven't confirmed demotions/LTIR that keep them compliant.

Atlanta deals goalie Drew MacIntyre to Montreal for d-man Brett Festerling

[mightysimi]

I like the depth added to Vancouver. Nothing flashy with nothing off the roster. Just grit and depth. As for Torres, I don't know what you guys are talking about? LOL, he's doing just fine on our 3rd line. That's the problem is he was always a 3rd line guy who was playing out of his league when you guys acquired him.
