At the Deadline!

Jeremy’s Sametime Status has been traded to the Wings for a 2008 5th Round Draft Choice.


Wow....the Wings really got hosed.


So, for Those Of You who were caught unawares, yesterday was the NHL's trading deadline, and there was a giant flurry of activity...some of which may have even been useful.


Seriously...a 5th Rounder? That could have been valuable...


The Islanders managed to unload useless piece of garbage, Chris Simon onto the Wild, and the Kings actually turned J.S. Aubin into a 7th Round Draft pick...which is at least two steps forward.


The Wings didn't have like an autographed jersey or something?


Probably the most surprising news is the Maple Leafs somehow found a taker for Wade "Skillz" Belak, trading him to Florida for a 5th Round pick.


Maybe a used puck bag...if the holes had been sewn up...


The tragedy of all of this is that the Kings are still saddled with Rob Blake, and didn't manage to turn his carriage into a 1st round draft pumpkin to be named later. I guess they're stuck with only having 8 picks in the first 3 rounds of this year's draft, with a very legitimate shot at winning the #1 pick, also known as the "Stamkos Sweepstakes."


So how's come the Blag's been so late these days?


Well, two reasons. Yesterday, I had an early meeting, so I couldn't post until afterwards. Today, there was a water main break in front of my place, so I couldn't get ready for work. Unlike Some People, I can't go to work without having a shower in the morning.


Exactly why it's a fine waste of a 5th rounder...
