Kovalev acquired by Pittsburgh

So far BM's moves are looking better and better by the day. Trading dead weight for cap space and draft picks.

Oh and that Anderson guy.

Elliott is helping the Avs tank and Kelly is a support player that I'm assuming is fitting right in?

Looks like Murray knew exactly who to get rid of and for what...

Definitely although he might have traded more if there was interest (ie. Kuba).

Can't sell if no one's buying.

Fisher's done next to nothing in Nashville.

Kelly's been Kelly.

Kovalev's been Kovalev.

Elliot's been Elliot.

Ruutu has been pretty good actually. Maybe the best of the bunch since being traded.

Can't comment on Campoli...I have no idea.

Murray has done a great job so far (other than being responsible for the mess we're in to begin with).

I think what he traded Fisher for may end up being more than anyone imagined.

Murray wanted to blow the team up a while ago, but last year they finished 5th in the east.

I am not really sure how much to blame Murray for this, this entire team has been one huge letdown this year.

Yeah, so far, so good as far as Murray's moves are concerned.

Like the others, wished we could have moved Kuba as well. We'll see in the off-season. Who knows.

Kuba is at least starting to look better lately. Don't forget, he had that broken leg on the first day of camp, and it usually takes a player a *long* time to get into game form after missing camp.

If Kuba can get back to the form he had before that 2009/10 injury, he'll not only not be a detriment to the team, but a useful piece. As with a few guys on our roster, tho', staying healthy is a huge question mark.

Kuba is slowly coming around.

Gonchar is so misused on the PP(and it's a stretch to call what we have a power play).

1 goal in 6 games... so, par for the course...

He's saving his strength (touch) for the playoffs
