I beat you. Now merge with mine ;)

Yep. And not only did I beat you, I had players too. It pays to be a member of a different board where trades get posted immediately ;)

As for the deal, I like it for both sides. But man Paradis...traded twice before playing a single NHL game

'other players' was all Sportsnet told me. I can't believe TV didn't get the info as quick as the internet. Not sure what to beleive in anymore.

Twitter has made it now so that you know the moment anything is done. I'll be on twitter all day tomorrow on my phone as i travel down to Santa Barbara so I can know when we sign someone and where the "big names" go.

Sorry, but what the heck is Bowman doing??? I mean, yeah, Stalberg is good, but he's not Versteeg. This is just getting rediculous, I know they gotta get rid of salary, but really, Versteeg? Come on. This stinks.

These trades are going to be going in other teams favors obviously.

Ugh.

Cmon man....

TBH Versteeg to me is overrated. Yes he's good but not as good as some people think. Stalberg is a good young player who can take over Versteegs role and play wing on either of the Hawks top two lines. DiDiomenico was a favorite prospect by many leafs fans and Paradis was an 09? 1st rounder. This was a pretty fair deal going both ways.
