Brett Connolly is still a longshot, but I'd rather have him under contract for two second rounders, than Chris Stewart for 18 games.

If that was the Bruins choice, good on them.

 

Flyers got great value for Coburn, but Tampa could afford to pay the price.

 

I'm really wondering where Stewart ends up now. Montreal could use him, but Petry is probably their rental.

Blues have been quiet...?

Penguins have been pretty quiet so far as well.

Murray tells Sabres.com it's very quiet. Said being a seller is hard because people have to want to buy... Then realizes how silly that sounds and acknowledges how many trades there have been so far.

 

 

Dennis Bernstein: Looks like Kings Justin Williams in play. Nothing imminent.

It's still early so I'm not in panic mode... And those saying they want Murray fired if he doesn't finish last are crazy. HOWEVER, I will be pissed and deem it a large failure if Murray sits on the UFAs.

It's not crazy to think the vets mentally and emotionally shut it down if they don't get moved to a contender.

I like this point.  Still hope Stewart and Mitchell are traded but this is reasonable.  We see how hard these callup kids play.  Not a ton of skill but they give it their all every shift unlike a vet like Hodgson (or whatever his name has become in that thread haha).

I know some are nervous about a trade not happening but there is still 4 and a half hours left.  In past years it would take awhile to get going because everyone was waiting for that first big player to be moved.  With all of the early activity there isn't anyone holding up the market.

They will just play not to get injured, stick up for team mates, but have no reason to play to win. A team with the Hodgson mentality.

It's not over yet, but given what we've seen, it would not surprise me if Murray has overplayed his hand and the price for Stewart has gone down, like Thomas Vanek last year.

Unless a miracle happens I just don't see any of our UFA's fetch anything of major value. At this point I don't trade Stewart for a 4th as I would rather them sign him. Why would you overpay for a guy that was in the coaches doghouse and has been on the down swing since Colorado days?
