Trade Deadline BONANZA 2014

Surprised... that's a rental move...

they couldn't trade for him last night? They would have won that game if he hadn't played for them.

BooBoo confirms Hemsky to Sens for draft picks.

Bobby Mac: Hearing EDM is getting 3rd and 5th round picks from OTT for Hemsky.

BooBoo saying Hemsky for third in 15 and fourth in 14.

LeBrun: Edmonton Oilers eating half of Hemsky's salary for rest of the season

3rd next year 5th this year...

not a bad deal given how bad our right side is. And they are paying 1/2 the salary.

Oh yah you genius.

Price is right, but I question the point... but I guess we'll see if Murray has anything else in the hopper...

Phillips. Sigh. I hope we make a splash now otherwise today was an absolute dud.

Without guys like Phillips you're Edmonton. That's about as good as I can summarize it.

We want Stewart!

Yeah... our D without BigRig is so young and green... still need a vet in there. Just have to play him smart, minimize him getting exposed, like last night...

That was just a power move from a determined forward with speed and skill. It happens.

So essentially we got 4th round pick for Ben Bishop.  Murray is an inept tradesman.  Hemsky is this years Cory Stillman, Matt Cullen etc.

Pretty sure Edmonton didn't have Phillips in their lineup last night so that argument is shot. Phillips also got burned pretty badly last night. For one year I see the value. We now have 7 defencemen on one-ways next year, and our D is terrible. Sorry I just don't see how extending a regressing player helps our defence become any better. Unless we take a healthy run at Ehrhoff or Edler -or- trade a defenceman today this was a bad signing.

One game?

Phillips is more reliable right now than any of Cowen, Gryba or Wiercioch and he'll help those guys figure out what it takes to be a pro for a relative pittance. This a big picture signing that retains a legacy player who can help instill pride in being an Ottawa Senator among the youngsters and still take a shift.

Can we please get Erhoff or Edler now?
