The 2013 CBA trade frenzy party thread

[mattola]

well I guess its gaining real traction

TEAM Radio ‏@TEAM1040
RT @stapenewsday: Reports out there are correct: #Isles have acquired G Tim Thomas for a conditional 2nd-rounder in either 2014 or 2015.

Well I'm going to go ahead and say that's a steal for the Bruins. Trading a guy not even on the team anymore for a 2nd rounder? What type of blackmail photos does chiarelli have on these gms?

Kevin Paul Dupont ‏@GlobeKPD
Bruins deal Thomas to Islanders. Awaiting compenstion details, whether Thomas plans to end semi-retirement.

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger
Isles confirm Tim Thomas trade.

[KennyBanyeah]

What a shit show.

[IPostedWhat]

Tim Thomas to the Islanders???

@Eklund: Tim Thomas has been traded to the NY Islanders. More to come

I'm going to start calling them Hansel...

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Ellerby is not a bad young player.

I'm guessing this means that Gudbranson is healthy and ready to go.
