But seriously, this reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when George does everything he possibly can to get fired from the Yankees. Sutter's moves seem to be getting worse and worse.

Yeah, he's making some really questionable moves. When you trade for a bunch of guys and one of them in a UFA, you have very little choice but to meet his demands so you don't look dumb - I guess, that's the case.

Leopold worth a 2nd round pick, so one of the top 60 picks? Gah.

Matt Stajan worth 3.5 million a year? Gah X 10.

some desperate moves by desperate GM's perhaps? more importantly, what will take for Ottawa to get Weber? his play at the big tourney in Vancouver had me drooling.

Desperation sounds right, yeah.

Hmm, Weber...

Michalek/Spezza, Cowen, Foligno, 1st? Somewhere around there. Weber's a future Norris candidate. This was his coming out party, but he's been playing like this for a while now.

Trade Deadline Bananas anyone?

Per TSN...

The St. Louis Blues have added goaltender Joe Fallon from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for goaltender Hannu Toivonen and defenceman Danny Richmond.

Also, Emery has been put on LTIR...must be deal coming in Philly.

Why did they do this?

Hamhuis = 1st round it sounds like.
Seidenberg = 2nd rounder it sounds like
Ward = 7th rounder
Foster = 5th rounder

I don't know man, but it doesn't look like we're getting a D stud. Stranger things have happened I guess though.

well we got a couple of future studs coming, Weircioch and Cowen, so I guess we can't expect much as a stop gap though.

Rooney was saying that Dobber had us getting Seidenberg, was fairly sure of it. While Marek said that we had acquired Aaron Ward and it was a matter of time before the announcement, so I guess it's someone like that.

Seidenberg would be great. A natural replacement for A-Train if we can't come to terms with him.

stats on TSN have this for Seidenberg, but doesn't show Blocks or hits, and this is his stats on a middling team. (not saying we are elite however)

Ummmm...what?

I believe Seidenberg leads the league in blocked shots this year.
