I really like Edmonton’s moves. I think they already check the blocks for cocaine hockey and toughness, they needed stability. They got stability. Their underbelly is not as soft. I feel the last thing the rest of the league needs is a balanced roster lead by McDavid.
I kinda like Nashville’s approach. Tidy business.
And Calgary getting nhlers (near nhlers) back for rentals 3 times in one deadline is kinda cool.
Carolina giving kuznetsov a try is cool.
Florida getting the best deal in tarasenko is a big boost. Right place at the right time.
Colorado treated this deadline like the offseason and snagged two fairly big pieces they’ll maybe keep for awhile.
I think Pittsburg did well, but I’ve beat that one to death and will stop. I think history will reflect very positively short, medium, and long term.
Biggest loser: my team the blues who didn’t have anything you all wanted
o well. Can’t fail at making a trade prediction if there’s no trades to predict.
Runner up: Detroit. Same reason as blues except they should have bought imo. You aren’t gonna get Patrick Kane under 3 mil another year. He’s proven he’s worth double that at least or the fact that no matter how good, the years are passing for him. It was worth a stab at a rental I think while you have that power up. Not like the stockpile is low. Didn’t need to go extreme, but I’m surprised they couldn’t find anything worthwhile.
