We have NUMEROUS pieaces which could be valuable additions for teams. And yet, our GM has failed to make a single major improvement. All the other "sellers" have been active. The main "buyers" have been active.

Deano- You've got an hour and a half before I label this trade deadline as a complete failure, waste of time, and major lost opportunity to improve this team.

The day isn't over yet - and it takes TWO to make a trade. Lombardi needs a willing partner first.

Raja has many "premature" problems, it's not looking good but we've got some time left.

Yeah, might want to at least wait until the deadline passes before issuing a letter grade.

I would think that Lombardi should now turn his attention to either signing Stuart to an extension or moving him in a deal.

I am sure that Detroit is still looking for a defenseman. That may be the only deal to be made with Nagy on the shelf and Blake exercising his NTC to limit his movement to only two or three teams.

We have NUMEROUS pieaces which could be valuable additions for teams. And yet, our GM has failed to make a single major improvement. All the other "sellers" have been active. The main "buyers" have been active.

Deano- You've got an hour and a half before I label this trade deadline as a complete failure, waste of time, and major lost opportunity to improve this team.
On the other hand, I'm listening to Burke on TSN right now. He just said that there were no moves for Anaheim today. He tries to build his team prior to the draft deadline and not wait for last minute pickings.

Not a bad strategy in my book. Lombardi has started building this team, I say let him finish. And it doesn't necessarily have to happen on draft day.
