The Official 2008-09 NHL Season Discussion Thread

You and I were posting at the same time there.

So now the details are out. Recchi and a 2nd rounder for Lashoff and Karsums. They're two guys that have been trying to break through into the NHL but just haven't been good enough to steal a spot on the Bruins.

, are you watching Tsn's Tradecenter too?

I think that's a good deal for you guys, Recchi aint bad, but to get a 2nd next year too is good.

Foppa is also expected to officially retire tonight before the Av's, Red Wings game.

I'm listening to it. I'm at work and they're doing streaming audio. I figured doing the video would be a bit much.

I think Recchi's leadership and experience is going to be huge. He's the type of guy that can push a team and get them through those tough games. Sure, he's slowed down some but he's still got skills and will be a big help on the PP. The 2nd rounder will be great if Tampa stinks next year. If it was this year it would almost be a 1st rounder.

I also heard that Toronto sent Dominic Moore to Chicago. Not sure who for yet.

Tampa always stinks.

I'm intrigued about Bouwey, he seems to be the biggest player still out there.

bruins72 · Post by **bruins72** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 7:00 pm

Bouwmeester and Morris are still in play. Morris goes to whoever was runner up in getting Bouwmeester.

Guerin went to the Pens. I hear now that Moore to Chicago might not be so.

Bill Guerin went to Penguins for a draft pick, don't know what conditional draft pick is though.

bruins72 · Post by **bruins72** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 7:06 pm

It's a 5th but it turns into a 4th if the Pens make the playoffs, and a 3rd if they win a round. Something like that.

Post by **joehelmer** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 7:11 pm

Ah, okay, always nice to learn new things.

Now they are talking about that Bouwmeester will most probably head to Vancouver.

bruins72 · Post by **bruins72** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 7:13 pm

I've been hearing talk of that too. That would really be a boost to them. I've also heard that if they do land him, that Ohlund is getting shopped.

Less than an hour left until the deadline.

Yeah, they made a joke about that,...if they win a cup, it's Malkin

All eyes on Bouwie now

Guerin is a bargain, the maximum of a 3rd rounder.

Post by **joehelmer** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 7:18 pm

8 trades, 17 players and 7 picks so far.

Finally there is some movement out there!!!

bruins72 · Post by **bruins72** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 7:42 pm

Phoenix send Carcillo to Philly for Upshall and a 2nd.

Post by **joehelmer** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 7:42 pm

Phoenix just traded Daniel Carcillo to Flyers for Upshall and a 2nd round pick.

bruins72 · Post by **bruins72** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 7:44 pm

Beat ya!

Nik Antropov goes to the Rangers. Details still being worked out.

With what? 5 seconds?

bruins72 · Post by **bruins72** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 7:48 pm

It was enough!

I guess the return on Antropov is a 2nd rounder and a conditional pick.

Post by **joehelmer** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 7:48 pm

Antropov was traded for a 2nd and conditional draft pick.

B72, this is getting quite funny, once against it was about seconds.

I've been sharpening my typing skills. Speed kills.

Post by **joehelmer** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 7:56 pm

Bouwmeester stay in Florida.

Morris to Rangers, no details so far.

Woohoo! I was first!

bruins72 · Post by **bruins72** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 7:57 pm

Morris goes to the Rangers.

gibson41 · Post by **gibson41** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 7:57 pm

Morris to Rangers, details TBA

Edit: darn you b72!!!!!!

Post by **joehelmer** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 7:58 pm

3 posts about the same thing at the exact same time?!

A round of applause for us!

bruins72 · Post by **bruins72** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 7:59 pm

I'm a little surprised that we didn't see that much movement this year.

Kalinin, Dawes, and Prucha for Morris.
