I admire Mitchell's work ethic. I think he deserved a larger return, maybe a 5th. But tank is as tank does.

Vogl says Jack Nevins is the prospect coming back in the Mitchell trade. Projects to a bottom-six guy, if that. He's got zero points and 88 penalty minutes in 32 games in Hamilton. Also looks like that pick is a 7th rounder. Yikes.

My intention isn't to pile on this, but only the three bolded trades were for rentals. In the other trades, the primary players all have terms left on their contracts. Sekera's a top-four Dman going to a cup contender that's short two top-four Dmen (Voynov, Martinez). Vermette was one of the most sought after forwards of the deadline, going to a cup contender crippled by the loss of Patrick Kane. Cup contender Preds acquired both Franson and Santorelli with their 1st, a prospect, and Olli Jokinen, whom the Leafs didn't want anyways. I don't think any of the assets Buffalo put on the marketplace met what those teams were looking for. Generally speaking, I think GMs have figured out the value of deadline deals, and the days of collecting a 1st rounder for a middle-of-the-road rental player are over.

He's gonna give TM such a snidely tone. I think Hoppe could approach Jim Kelly's level of work if given the opportunity, at least much moreso than these other three juggalo bloggers.

That was a misfire on me: MTL has the MIN 2016 2nd, because we traded it for Gorges. He mad. Mike Harrington @BNHarrington · 1m1 minute ago Hey Twitter gotcha mob I KNOW SABRES HAVE MINNY'S 2ND IN '16. Find another team to deal with then is my point. Wait for GMTM's presser.

And then like two hours of actually processing and announcing trades.

John Vogl @BuffNewsVogl · 27s27 seconds ago The Sabres' Tim Murray is still working with "several teams" on Chris Stewart.

He got really batty really quick today.

TWO HAVE FALLEN. ONE HOUR TO TRADE DEADLINE. WE MUST GO DEEPER.

We have legitimate shots at Enroth and Neuvirth in the off season, if we really wanted them. Good tank move.

Maybe for some. <squints, wags fingers at hip>

More like Arizona GM Don Balogna, amirite?

Brian Flynn to Montreal for a 5th via Bob McKenzie.

Pretty sure Kevin Sylvester's reading this thread on-air.

Sakic says COL isn't interested in acquiring rentals or moving ROR before the deadline. Says he'll attempt to re-sign ROR in the offseason. http://www.nhl.com/ice/m_blogs.htm?id=37519 . He's a competing asset in the Stewart marketplace.

Buffalo's choice of 1sts would be nice and simple.

Maybe he got posterized by little Dan Catenacci and he just couldn't even.

Quick detail question on this trade regarding the first round pick we're shipping. At the time of trade, we held the 1sts from Buffalo, St Louis, and NYI. The trade was to move the lowest 1st rounder in our possession. If we acquire another 1st rounder (ie from Boston for Stewart or the like) and that 1st ends up being lower/that team lasts longer in the playoffs, do we surrender that pick or one of the picks we held at the time of the trade? I haven't seen the details out yet, but sometimes Chz has come up with them about conditional trades in the past.

edit: And I don't usually post tanky stuff in this year's GDTs. I did just about every game last year for fun. I figured that this year would be so brutal of a season on us that we didn't need much of that, and that people would want to grieve/celebrate in their own ways.
