#CBJ acquires Seth Jones from the @PredsNHL in exchange for Ryan Johansen. MORE: http://cbj.co/predscbjtrade

Love love this for Nashville. Exactly what they had to do. Also like it for Columbus since they got Jones as opposed to the speculated Ekholm, but I still don't think it makes them better, just shifts the roster hole around. Of course if they win the Matthews sweeps...

Isn't Weal a good prospect? Why would LA do that?

 

Mainly because it looks like Matt Greene is not coming back anytime soon.  They did it to get a right handed shot defensemen who fits their style.  They haven't had much success with Weal, Shore and a couple of other options on the third line.  They must view Lecavalier as an upgrade.  Not sure why.  Lecavalier has already been quoted stating that he will retire at the end of the year. The third for Schenn is about an average return on a pending UFA.  Hextall is a great GM.  Albeit for the Hartnell for Umberger deal which he did mainly for the amount of years for years.

It's been mentioned but Montreal has only won 4-16 since Price went out. Ouch

They aren't a good hockey team.  They have Paccioretty, Galchenyuk, Plekanec and Subban.  The rest of their team is garbage or guys past their primes like Markov.  Without Price playing out of his mind they are bubble team. No offense to Plekanec and Glachenyuk but that doesn't scream Cup winning centers.

Brian Flynn and Torrey Mitchell are taking great exception to this

Seth Jones is young and has a ton of potential, but he was the Preds 5th best defenseman and hasn't been playing well this year (he gets too "cute" with the puck and is a turnover machine). The four guys ahead of him (Shea Weber, Roman Josi, Matty Ekholm, Ryan Ellis) are all signed long term. Seth is still on his rookie contract so he is due for a big pay raise. Good trade both ways. 3 of 4 Preds centers are on the wrong side of 30 (Fisher, Ribero, Goose) and they are injury-prone. With so much strength on the wing it is almost criminal for the Preds not to have a true scoring center. They now have that.

If anybody cares the new numbers for players who joined new teams:

 

Ryan Johansen - 92 (Jarnkrok has 19; birth year)

Seth Jones - 3

Vinny Lecavalier - 44

Luke Schenn - 52

Jordan Weal - 19

Mike Richards - 10

You want to know how absolutely moronic the NHL scheduling was this year? Montreal played thier first home game since December 17th last night. That's 8 consecutive road games.

Doesn't this happen every year to many teams?

Panthers are on an 8 game road trip too, aren't they?

There's been some sort of Avatar-related Cirque du Soleil thing going on at the Bell Centre for like three weeks.  I'm going to assume that was booked first.

Does it? I can't remember us having one that long. If so, that's still moronic, just on an annual basis

Avatar, as in the movie? The worst movie ever made, that movie?
