They're Pink Covers, Too



The Hawks have traded Jeremy to the Jets for a pair of skate blade covers  


Frankly, I'm a little surprised that the Hawks found a taker, even at that price.  Worst trade ever for the Jets.


So as some of you are doubtless aware, today is the NHL trading deadline.  The day that teams have to decide if they're still in it or not.  If they still have a chance, they can try to get one or two extra players to make a playoff run, or if they're out, they can jettison some overly-expensive player and save the money for the off-season.  

To be sure, a few high profile trades have already happened.  Jaromir Jagr has a new home in Boston, Robyn Regehr is headed to Hollywood, Jay Bouwmeestercan start singing the Blues, and Derek Roy, Michal Handzus, and Jordan Leopold all have new teams.  So who's left, and what's going to become of them?

Well, Mark Streit wouldn't mind getting off the Island, Roberto Luongo has been on the trading block since last year's playoff choke job, and teams are interested in 6'7" goalie "Big" Ben Bishop.  (It's pretty unfortunate to have both your first and last name starting with B when you're 6'7".  Your nickname is pretty much written on the wall at that point)  Will Derek Morris be part of YET another deadline deal, and will Brian "Soup" Campbell, who really hasn't been relevant since This Brilliant Piece Of Rick Jeanneret Announcing be heading out of the Sunshine State?  We'll all find out together!
