I love this time of year in hockey. All the trades that get done, all leading up to the annual snoozefest known as Trade Deadline Day! But if nothing else, it gives me a good reason to take an afternoon off work. Like I need a reason – "it's sunny. Well then I'd better take the afternoon off and enjoy it." "We're out of cheese. Well I can't work under these conditions."
I see that Ottawa sent Fisher to Nashville. He probably wanted to go there for his wife, country singer Carrie Underwood. Now maybe it's just me, but wouldn't it be funny, hilarious and ironic if the NHL moved Nashville to Quebec or Winnipeg? If you think Ms. Underwood didn't like Ottawa, imagine her in Quebec City. I'm sure she'll fit in nicely there.
The Leafs sent Versteeg to the Flyers for a draft pick that Burke is now going to trade away. Nice work Burkie. Nice work. I also hear that Kaberle is willing to be traded to Boston. Maybe with any luck Burke can trade Kaberle for the draft picks he gave up when he picked up Kessel. Then he can maybe trade those away to pick up somebody useful like Chris Chelios or maybe Gretzky.
