I am a little surprised. We had some deep talks with Anaheim and Buffalo throughout the year. Guess things didn't line up at this Deadline so far. I am also surprised we didn't take a run at spending some picks for young talent. Then again we have less than 30 minutes left.

All the players guys don’t like going to good teams. Haha.

Eh I didn’t dislike Glass or Beauvillier. Just don’t think there’s much of a point to hanging on to Beau when he won’t be back next year and the season is lost, and Glass’s upside seems to be capped since he can’t score.

They could definitely do that. WBS International airport is 20minutes from the little Pen's stadium.

I'm not actually worried about it. Worth making the trades to have a game shorthanded. Right now we're OK, trade one more and we will rush someone. Will be a funny story.

It seems we traded the people we felt were expendable. No one of importance yet.

I’m a bit concerned we wanted to keep Schenn. Like, why?

Correct. There’s no reason to keep beau and Gryz. Gryz needs to be traded. Idc what sully says, it’s completely pointless to keep him for the rest of the season.

I do assume any other trades would have a player coming back. Maybe moving out a pick for one. I mean with the previous talk Rak and Karlsson had interest from western teams so I am still holding out hope we make a big deal last minute and the players could get to the game quickly tonight.

Why not? He’s better than any 3rd pair d man we currently have. Good price. Plays hard, loves the game.

I think they liked the idea of a vet mentor next to Kolyachonok now and Pickering in the near future over someone like Shea or St. Ivany.

For once I agree with you lol. I was fine keeping him. But, a 2nd and 4th? That's a good return.

Hopefully St. Ivany bounces back. He looked so solid last year. Definitely struggled this year.

Seems like Rak to Carolina is getting reported.

Question if anyone knows...

It looks like practically every one of our players were on front loaded contracts. Is there a specific reason for this? I get it makes them a bit more attractive trade wise, but its not like we were planning on that 2 years ago specifically.

I think players like getting more of their money up front. It's to the point you have to just to keep up.
