Once you start naming players, you're no longer kicking tires. Of course, I have no idea if it ever came to that. But if it didn't, it should never have been reported at all.
Who won the Kovalchuk trade?

And why not. His agression streak aside, he's good enough skill wise to captain the WJC Canadian team, I'd want him too
You also thought that Toronto was a better team than Ottawa.....
And that Toronto would be in 8th or 9th by the end of the season.

9th is not out of the question. Giguere is money, while Elliot is streaking (again). Let's talk again when he wakes up (again)

Wow, get out the daggers, I said, hockey wise, Cormier is a great prospect. IF they can get his agression controlled. IF they can then he's gonna be like a Sean Avery with skill. Yes, please! Great player to have.

Really if Waddel had been reading this board then he would realize that both players are anything but players Murray really wants in the organization.
BS. Murray dangled Wiercioch, Foligno, Cheechoo (dump), and one of Silfverberg or Petersson OR a 1st round pick. That's my official guess.

However....what Waddell does from here on in is important too. He needs to trade for some offence now - and I can imagine there are a few GMs that might be pissed that they lost this sweeps and drive the price up.

And I suppose Anaheim got rid of J.S "Money" Giguere because he's so great and can lead their team to the promise land and replaced him with Jason "Too much Money" Blake and Vesa "Can't stop the puck" Toskala with your thinking in mind?
Lets see if Giggy can wake up at all.
This team just shot itself in the foot. They could have given Kovalchuk
the big money that he wanted with the amount of young talent coming up
the pipes to play for cheap.

The main difference there though is that Calgary did not get JBo as a rental. The deal was only to get advance negotiating rights for him.

If you think Toskala gets more that a couple of games in relief of Jonas Hiller, you're deluded. That was a salary dump. Hello.
Giguere didn't end up backing up Hiller because he sucked, he was backing up Hiller cause Hiller is that good. ergo the extension. Did Ana want to get stuck with paying their goalies over 11 mil?? Nope. They dumped salary, Toronto dumped salary and picked up.....oh yeah, a Stanley Cup winning goaltender. Tell me exactly how this doesn't work in Toronto's favour?
