Huh. All this time I thought he was a defenseman. Guess I know even less about him than I thought. Yeah, don't think there's much need in the center position on this team.

Goc is German Chris Kelly. Not really a fit.

FWIW, I'd take a run at Vanek here in the final hour and see if the Isles panic with the deadline looming. The market for forwards appears a lot cheaper than for D. Screw it.

I can't believe Vanek and Moulson have not been moved or even had any rumors about them today. Those two have to be moved.

I agree.  See if you can improve the team in some fashion.  Adding Vanek would make our top 3 lines comparable with Pittsburgh's.

It would be very strange to go through the day with neither the Bruins nor Penguins making any moves.

Only justification I can see from not making a move this year, in this obvious buyer's market, in a spring where you raise ticket prices for next year, is some kind of worry over team chemistry. With Chara and Bergy, I don't buy it. I'm expecting a move for a (legit, non-Corey edition) D-man at 2:45
 
If McQuaid is out for the duration, the B's need to add 2 very good defensemen to be serious Cup threat, which doesn't seem doable at non-exorbitant prices. Won't stop talk radio from exploding, however.

Like Bruins, Panthers figured out that Tim Thomas is about Tim Thomas and not team. #mtlhockey
 
Yeah that's it Jimmy

Schultz went for a 5th? These prices are not high at all. You have to think the Bruins aren't making these deals because they have something bigger up their sleeve.

I still don't understand the Thomas move from Dallas' perspective. Is he suddenly going to be their number 1? I doubt he's better than Lethonen at this point in time. Why make the deal?
