so far some of the hockey trades have been really bad, leaving some teams awesome while others stink, i mean is hockey the worst trading sport?

I think this might fall under rule #7.

IN MY OPINION THEY SHOULD MOVE THE TRADE DEADLINE EARLIER IN THE SEASON.. WITH MORE TEAMS STILL IN THE HUNT FOR A PLAYOFF SPOT THE TRADES MIGHT NOT BE SO ONE SIDED.. I MEAN LOOK AT THE YANKEEGERS.. I THINK GLEN SATHER TRIED TO TRADE FOR JARRI KURRI TOO

if gary bettman doesnt resolve the issue of player salaries in the 2004 lockout, hockey will turn into baseball. right now you have these teams who spend as much money as they can every year to go far in the playoffs: red wings, stars, RANGERS (they still suck), and the flyers. the NHL badly needs a revenue sharing policy and a salary cap for it thrive. once these are in place you will not have as many one sided deals and teams like the rangers buying 10 free agents a year.
