Thread: The trade Deadline thread for the 5 fans that care LOL

Post any trades here, I am sure Avs trades will be kept separately in other threads.

this is the Underrated 29, BroncoAv, ECF, pnbronco and Medford Bronco thread lol


My Canes have obtained Ruttu for Andrew Ladd.

I hope he helps us tonight vs a very good NJ team

(AP)—Carolina has acquired forward Tuomo Ruutu from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for left wing Andrew Ladd.

Tuesday’s deal came hours before the NHL’s trading deadline and gives the injury-depleted Hurricanes some depth at center as they push toward a berth in the playoffs.

Carolina general manager Jim Rutherford calls Tuomo “a versatile player who gives the coaches more options at center or wing.”

Ruutu is a 25-year-old who has six goals and 15 assists in 60 games with Chicago.

Ladd was the Hurricanes’ first-round draft pick in 2004 who was a key member of their second line along with Sergei Samsonov. He has registered four points in his last five games.

good thread sir. And great pick up for the canes. Ruttu is gonna blossom big time for them me thinks. Not that he isnt already a great player, but this boy gots some skills.

I hope so. Ladd has underachieved for the Canes IMO being the 4th overall pick in 2004.

I heard Ruutu is a big hitter and this is exactly what the Canes need

also good luck to Foote and the avs, hope for the best for you guys

How about the Lightning dumping their team? Time to rebuild in TB. san Jose got a steal in Campbell. The Avs could of got him, but they went the vetren, less salary route with Foote.

I am just glad Campbell and Richards are out of the East now

here is hoping to lots of wins for the Avs, Pens and Canes

How about friggin Marion Hossa going to the Penguins?! By far the biggest deal of the day IMO.

Did not see that yet, they definitly have lots of fire power.

Things just keep getting better. . . especially when we dump players who wouldn't be around in a year or two anyway.

We're stacked.

Esposito can be really good, huge prospect, Armstong, pick, and Christensen round it out. If they can get Hossa signed after this year, then it definitly is a good move, if he is a rent a player and they fall short this year, deal hurts. Have to look at the upside.

I'm a big Hossa fan and I love watching Crosby. As long as the Pens don't have to play the Avs in the post season, ever, I root for 'em.

Man thats scary. The pens and sharks are going to be extremely tough to play agaisnt. Wow!

I still think the sharks will knock off the wings in the playoffs. But like med said I wouldnt mind if it was us in the 1st rd.

WOW!! I didn't think that my Pens were gonna make ANY moves at all, then to see these trades?! WOW... not only Hossa but Hall Gill, 6-7 250 lb. defenseman from Toronto-just what they needed some more physical presence on the blueline. They gave up some picks and Army (Armstrong), Christensen and Esposito; Army hadn't been doing much, Christensen has a wicked wrist shot and Espo is in the minors but may be a good player in the future. I hope that they all "fit" the team; sometimes you try to "tweak" a talented team and it doesn't work, but I think this should be good. Can't wait till we play the Flyers now!!!

yea, i just saw that. . . . dude should drop the "A" and just be hoss-- he's gonna be scary with sid the kid. . . .

Esp, went too? I didn't see that. Aww, dang.

The Pens will have a ton of firepower for sure, but if Fleury of Conklin get cold, they'll need 5 or 6 goals a night.

The Avs seem to be living in a time warp. Are Forsberg and Foote going to be enough?

I'm loving my Stars pick up of Richards. On a line with Modano and Hagman, he can put up some serious numbers and he adds to our top ranked PK.
