33 trades today ... that's crazy. I'd guess the trades are probably done at this point.
IMO this was a very successful trade deadline for the isles. This teams strength is their ability to roll 4 lines and there's no better 3c to fill that role than JGP. Im pumped. I doubted LL but he did a solid job today.
Carolina in one day gets Sami V, Skjei, and Trochek for a first a fourth and a handful of 50/50 prospects? Clear winners of the deadline to me XD All of those players are young and cheap and established NHL'rs. Its a good day to be a hurricanes fan <3
What do you all think of Parise potentially going to the Islanders?
Wasn't on much today. I hated the idea of eating Parise's contract, which ends when he's 40. If there was a 50% retainment and Ladd was going the other way, maybe - but that's hardly possible without us giving up something BIG.

My opinion on Parise is basically if Lou could get Minnesota to retain enough to get his cap hit down to 5,000,000 with Ladd going back to Minnesota, then I could live with it.
Minnesota, rightfully, didn't want to be on the hook for 33ish% of his contract AND all of Ladd's contract.

Pageau is a great add but i'm not a big fan of the price.

In an ideal world, I'd want 50%, but thats just not possible. I just feel like Parise should best be left as a member of the Wild.
