No bueno.

Cue Benny Hill music.

Phone sex right now. Lots of talk, but we're only ###### ourselves.

THE HUBRIS! Now I am become donut, destroyer of worlds.

Jay Leno won't waive his NTC.

Mutiny! At least now there's a chance they're Rollin' Rims. Also, so you don't feel like I never loved you, I lol'd at this.

FOOLS!! HOW DO WE IMPROVE THE FRANCHISE WITHOUT TAKING THE CHANCE ON WINNING MORE COFFEE!?

Maybe the reason we got two 2nd picks is that no one wanted to give up a 1st? Entirely feasible. Then the 2015 pick comes only because LA doesn't want to deal away their top two picks from this year. That doesn't bode well for the return on Drew Stafford. It does bode well for the trade capital that Columbus has in hand- they should be buyers before draft day.

Heh, I have some opinions about this (I don't think I'd be a better GM than most of the GMs in the league- I say most because Feaster can suck my balls). But instead of writing that post, I think it'd be funnier to burn your ass a little by posting the picture from the Sabres facebook page this morning of the GM's trade deadline work group table:

Was at that game. Good times. This is consistent with how analysts and GMs (including Regier) have described the current trade market: 1st round picks and good prospects are being held tightly by GMs.

From the front page of NHL.com: I counted at least four other bright spots.

Of course they would. I'm ok with that. Maybe give them the old Regiertradenutsqueeze and have them toss in a 4th/5th.

Come on Columbus....you have three first round draft picks... give up one of them for Stafford...preferably Blue Jackets or Rangers pick.

Maybe it says that, but it would also be a factor that other teams that would be interested in those players don't want to pay the price- which may or may not include roster players in return- before making their playoff runs. An anonymous GM was quoted as saying that dealing for Vanek was an "offseason move" for this reason.

Now, please. Although it doesn't really make a difference, but I'd like the peace of mind. Generally speaking,,trading now would likely mean draft picks/prospects, summer would likely mean roster players. Maybe latter's better.

Yeah, right here. If you believe everything a sports opinion writer writes, that's worse than believing the company line from the franchise. Think for yourselves. Bucky can be right or wrong, but think for yourselves.

I'm not even sure that's worth anyone's two cents. It assumes that 2nd round picks later are worth less than 2nd round picks now- which isn't necessarily incorrect, but is certainly debatable, and therefore not good footing from which one should trash ownership.

Hahaha... ######.

You get it right.

This. No reason the hate on the Penguins needs to stop. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Oy6DwHAi70

Playoffs this year are going to be really interesting.

Reggie is Sekera's nickname, by the way.

A 1st, Cundari (undrafted), and Berra (4th rounder) for J-Bo? Maybe about right, if Bouwmeester actually performs. Shedding Stafford and getting his return makes a better team than shedding Pominville for his return. I'm not sure if that linguistically makes sense, but the right move is to sell Stafford for his return first. That's based on the idea that this team is worse with Stafford on it, and could still be pretty good with Pommer on it.

Calling all scouts!
