Teams are likely lowballing Stevie so maybe he just keeps his players. This isn't Stevie's bargain autos.

Glennie would’ve been an awesome get for the Avs, his FO% is unmatched, so pricing had to play a major role w/Soderburg v Glennie. Nothing hurt by keeping him, but another pick may have been nice...

I think you’re right. Some deals may trickle through that go in at 5 minutes til. If I’m looking honestly, I think the Islanders, Montreal, Tampa and Vegas made some good moves. I think Toronto just can’t get themselves to make a good decision on goaltending or defense. Really frustrating, they could have gone big and just tried to get more scoring

I'm still hoping Bergy can acquire a defenseman with the last name "Streep."

I'll be here all day. Tip your waitress. Try the veal.

Hearing that Wings priced themselves out on COL. That’s why they grabbed Dubnyk

Beautiful

If Bernier isn’t traded, may be extended. Oilers still in on Glenny

Bernier going Tsn
Glenny is a strong possibility to go

Staal not likely to move at this point

He has been better than TG

Rangers fans said this quite often last season. But Staal played about as well we could've expected this season after a shaky start.

A good team with no pressure on them to win is a very dangerous opponent.

Is Tatar in the queue???

I don’t know if there was a last minute traffic jam, but any deals not submitted by 3:00 EST don’t count.

IF Yzerman didn’t deal Glenny, Staal, Helm or Bernier it was due to lowballing. It seems like you should take what they give you, but Steve wants to establish that he will walk away from the table

Yep. Stevie is setting up future trade deadlines. He won't knuckle under and give players away for nothing.

As many posted, Yzerman isn't going to give any one away for nothing.

New blog is up. I give Yzerman a C or C- for today

the response after i suggested mantha's worth at least a first:

He’s not to those teams, not even close. His contract is crippling in the flat cap era. Foligno is a 200ft player and a leader (and expiring) and Savard is a lock down defender (and expiring). Teams. Don’t. Want. Term. Right. Now.

It’s not happening
