I Go To Florida, And I Get The Money



The Jets have traded Jeremy to the Stars for three rolls of tape and a pair of scissors to be named later


What kind of tape?  I'm not so sure this was a good trade.  Also, were the scissors rusty?  


So, another year has come and gone, and it's NHL trading deadline season again.  Did your team make a good move, or have they resigned to running out the clock on the season?  Have they resigned to running out the clock on next season as well?  (Sorry, Buffalo Sabres fans)  Here's your rundown of impact transactions:
Buffalo traded everybody of value on their roster, with the possible exception of Tyler Myers.  In return, they got a whole crapload of draft picks, some retread players who will probably be released at the end of the season, and at least two totally decent prospects who won't be playing in the NHL next year. 

Florida got Roberto Luongo back, the New York Rangers won the Martin St. Louis derby, but paid a heavy price to do it, Gaborik heads to Hollywood, Vanek joins les Habitants, and Ryan Miller is no longer singing the Blues...he's playing for them.  

Based on all of this, I don't think any team really made themselves significantly better on Trade Deadline Day.  The closest would be the Gaborik to LA trade, if he actually manages to stay healthy.  That's a really big "If".
