So both the Canucks and the Sabres have lost their franchise goaltenders in a week. Expansion brothers to the end, I suppose?

omg so many trades and it's not even deadline day

Caps are over cap right now so they have to make another move before the deadline.  I feel so sorry for Canucks fans right now because that organization is a hot mess.  What isn't to like about Andy MacDonald?  Is he slow?  I don't watch the Islanders much but what I have seen he is good.  Also I thought you couldn't trade injured players for some reason, like ones who are on LTIR.  Isn't Robidas still on LTIR?

The trade in a vacuum is pretty fair. The problem is that MacDonald is a UFA to be who'll likely command a relatively big cap hit (as any defenseman worth a damn will in FA) and that we have a capable defenseman in Erik Gustaffsson sitting in the press box way too often. If this means Meszaros and/or Grossmann is gone and we end up with something like Coburn/Timonen, MacDonald/Streit, Schenn/Gus, Gill/AHL Call-Up, it's fine. Even if one of Mez or Grossmann stays and sits, it's fine. I'm more annoyed about the misuse of assets on the team and the overall construction of the D than the trade itself.

Gillis making trades like he's playing NHL95 on the Genesis.

Ok sandro you can stop watching the Canucks this season.

 

What a joke of a franchise right now. Gillis should be fired ASAP 

 

I'm just going to play videogames and murder a lot of pixels.

Tim Thomas to Washington :lol: . That would be funny. I just don't see how Luongo and Thomas, who doesn't like pumping Roberto's tires..lol, will co-exist with one of them sitting on a nightly basis.
