Remember that time when your team picked up a hot UFA and you planned a parade?

I admit it. A few years ago when the Penguins got Marian Hossa, I was thinking dynasty. Why? At the time, I didn't think that anyone could outscore them. Fleury was playing great, the defense looked solid and both Crosby and Malkin - well, you get it. Looking back now, I wish that I could have slapped myself. :gaah:

Has anyone else had that type of moment?

I really wanted the Habs to get him, in my head that would have pushed them over the top that season. They finished first in the east that year and I think Hossa would have helped a playoff run.

The teams I follow seem to let more go than they bring in...

No love for Kovalchuk or Pronger from Devils and Flyers fans?

When the Leafs picked up both Owen Nolan and Brian Leetch, I have to admit that the thought did cross my mind.

Remember, Flyers fans were sure it was cup time when they got Adam Oates.

Hard to keep track of every time a parade was coming.

I was young, but was there a lot of hype when Lindros went to Philly from QC?

Bobby Ryan to the Flyers in 2015 will be exciting.

Wilson doesn't believe in signing free agents so, this has never happened to me.

The Thornton trade had to have come close though, eh? Selanne was another big pickup a few years back.

I remember the time my former team picked up the two hottest free agents causing the most recent lockout.

Why'd you drop them, by the way? They seem to be on a roll now.

I remember when my team was picking up a very good player and it turned out to be a clusterfuck and he went to the enemy.

Fuck when did that happen again???
