The 2013 CBA trade frenzy party thread

I wouldn't mind the Flames taking a flyer on Hickey, local Calgary kid, maybe some home cooking is what he needs...

I thought Hickey was on waivers yesterday. I saw it before the Westgarth deal. With Mitchel being hurt I thought the Kings would give him a look this year.

Talk about a hired gun...

Joe Finley (D) claimed off waivers by Isles from Buff.

dominoes are falling, people!!



Today's waivers: E Oberg (TB). G Desbiens, P Mullen (VAN). S Legein, D Meckler, M-A Cliche, T Hickey (LAK). J Pearce, F Pare (DET). F Wathier, M Fortunas, L Gazdic, T Morin, T Petersen, T Sloan (DAL). S Backman, N McIver, M Watkins, T Wishart (NYI). M Ford, D Syvret (PHI). B Lerg, S Sullivan, B Thomas (COL). P-L Letourneau-Leblond (ANA). T Eckford, H Jessiman, N Lawson (OTT) WSH: R Potulny, Z Hamill, M Clackson, D Sabourin, P McNeill, G Stafford, K Marshall.



Wishart and Hickey are a couple of formerly touted picks falling off the map.
Legein as well, though his head apparently hasn't been in the game for a while now.



and this: thanks for the years, Ohlund - For first time, Lightning D Mattias Ohlund talks as if his playing career likely is over | Follow the Tampa Bay Lightning blog: Lightning Strikes | Tampa Bay Times

Yeah, apparently has some "coping with pressure" issues.

And considers anything, including people looking at him, pressure.

Oil get fistric from dallas for third rounder. Tried to get him couple of yrs ago.

serviceable if not lumbering

Fistric to Edmonton for a 3rd. Wish the Flyers would have thought of that

My sources tell me Joe Finley makes John Scott look like a servicable NHLer. A big lumbering pylon with hands of stone who sucks at fighting.

I don't like this pickup for the simple fact that Fistric is a dirty POS and I don't want him in the NW division.

FUCK. I don't see Martin on this list.

I don't know how strapped the Stars are for cash (I mean Gagliardi is loaded, isn't he), but maybe they made this move in order to sign Jamie Benn.

i saw a tweet by one of the former Kurtenbloggers that it could mean the Stars (fuck em) think Oleksiak is ready

Solid addition. Fistric is a hitter.

This tweet sums up why Craig Button is a former NHL GM:

CraigJButton: Mark Fistric is a great addition by #Oilers Big, strong, territorial and hard to play against. Fits in nicely with their group. Playoffs?

The Oilers need toughness on the blueline. Fistric isn't going to light up the score sheet, but he will keep the other team honest.
