TRADE DEADLINE BONANZA!

O'Brien and Hennessy suck, Z. Smith is a good guy but most likely a 3rd or 4th liner, Petersson, Hoffman and Caporusso have talent but aren't sure things, Silfverberg's a question-mark in terms of where he'll ultimately slot into the line-up and Derek Grant is a project.

It makes little sense for the present and dramatically less for the future to move either of Regin or Foligno. I don't want to witness the potential awesomeness of Cowen, Karlsson and Wiercioch on our blue-line get overshadowed by having no scoring depth.

I'd deal Foligno for Sharp in a heartbeat. Don't tell me you wouldn't...I'd actually deal Regin or Foligno for Sharp. Young, Alfie-like player, 2-way, mature, responsible, puts up goals, points, plays with heart, isn't afraid to go into corners. He Alfie's replacement.

He'll forever be the leader's right hand man I think. I don't know if he'll ever captain the team, he'll always be an A, but I'm not sure he gets the C.

Am I wrong? Maybe I am.

Perhaps not, but I can't imagine a guy coming over and assuming the reins from a legend. Perhaps as a stop-gap for a guy like Cowen.

Stop gap for Karlsson maybe?

Fun! Can we get Sharp please?

No cap space.

Next?

I can make it happen. Foligno (900K), so we need to clear 3 million for Sharp. Hmmm... Now who makes 3 million...

Chris Kelly makes over 2. And he's actually tradeable. Sharp is an upgrade on Kelly, so don't give me how we need him and all that crap. Sharp is an upgrade over Fisher too, BTW.
