Gary Roberts to Pittsburgh

Hmm very interesting

Guy would have to be nuts to pass up the opportunity to play with Sid, Malkin et al.

And so the trade deadline is upon us... keep your eyes glued to TSN.ca! Bill Guerin, Todd Bertuzzi, Jason Blake, they all need a new home as we begin our drive through the stretch run and into the post season...

EDIT: You can stream TSN's TradeCenter here, if you like.

Maybe he'll actually stay healthy this year, but I'm not holding my breath.

Martin Biron to Phily, and the Sabres pick up Ty Conklin from Columbus. And the Penguins acquire Georges Laraque from Phoenix for Dan Carcillo and an 8th round pick. Looks like Penguins wanted a deterrent to protect the kids after all

Guerin to San Jose, three way deal, details to follow...

Burak Gazan · Post by **Burak Gazan** » 2007-02-27 12:09pm

Looks like amended to just a normal 2-way deal between the Blues and the Sharks, 1st round pick and futures

Darth Garden Gnome · Post by **Darth Garden Gnome** » 2007-02-27 12:10pm

Yeah, Dreger says just the two teams involved.

San Jose is looking awfully scary with the addition of Billy Guerin... They have the best depth at forward in the West, I'd say only Buffalo has a deeper forward corps left in the league.

At this rate St. Louis is going to be the only team drafting in the 1st round.

Darth Garden Gnome · Post by **Darth Garden Gnome** » 2007-02-27 02:17pm

Bertuzzi to Detroit.

Conditional pick, prospect.

Burak Gazan · Post by **Burak Gazan** » 2007-02-27 02:33pm

Crikey, Perreault back to the Leafs, in that once-every-four-years or so thing they seem to do with him

Going the other way is Bell and a draft pick

You go out for food, and the things you miss

I thought his net worth was a cheese sandwich and a bag of pucks? I think Detroit got hosed

Coming fast and furious now; Dainius Zubrus and a prospect to Buffalo in exchange for Jiri Novotny and a 1st round pick to the Caps

Darth Garden Gnome · Post by **Darth Garden Gnome** » 2007-02-27 02:43pm

This is a pretty good deal. Marginal prospect (Shawn Matthias) and a conditional pick. Conditions include:

If Bertuzzi re-signs with Detroit, it becomes a second rounder.
It is based on his performance with the team and the number of games played. If Detroit makes it to the WCF, or Todd performs very well, it can become a first rounder.

I'm very happy with this deal. Big time reward for minimal risk.

Archon · Post by **Archon** » 2007-02-27 03:27pm

This is ridiculous. Almost all of the Canadian sports website are as slow as the Sarlacc's digestion at the moment. Even most of the team forums (Calgarypuck, etc...) are slow or busy as well. God bless the Trade Deadline.

Getting beat again by Anaheim at the Tank must have been quite devastating. Well FUCK Burkie who are you going to get now?

Bertuzzi is a joke, But then again he is probably a hero in Detroit for nearly crippling an Avs player.

Laraque and Roberts to Pittsburgh very interesting, we follow the Pens in the DF Household secondly to the Ducks.

Brad "The Bounty Hunter" May.

Quick, somebody photoshop a shitty Star Wars bounty hunter so it looks like Brad May.

Darth Garden Gnome · Post by **Darth Garden Gnome** » 2007-02-27 03:30pm

Deadline's over. Anaheim grabbed Brad May, but I think he was pretty happy with who he had. He was on TradeCenter saying he makes more of his deals in the off season and, you know, he grabbed Pronger and everything.

Darth Fanboy · Post by **Darth Fanboy** » 2007-02-27 03:31pm

BRAD MAY?????? The same May who was wrecked by Todd Fedoruk last year in their brawl at the Pond? The same shoulder injury Brad May?

Aw man...I don't know bout this....

Archon · Post by **Archon** » 2007-02-27 03:36pm

Apparently Ryan Smyth is now an Islander. Or something.

Confirmed:

TO NYI:
Ryan Smyth

TO EDM:
Ryan O'Marra
Robert Nilsson
1st Round Pick

Hopefully Smyth cuts his hair.

Burak Gazan · Post by **Burak Gazan** » 2007-02-27 03:37pm

Ryan Smyth dealt to Islanders?? Holy frak, talk about cutting the heart out of your team; details coming out *right now

OK, Smyth to Island for Robert Nillson, Ryan Omarra and a 1st round pick

Archon · Post by **Archon** » 2007-02-27 03:40pm

Damn. Burak posted before I finished my edit even though I scooped it first.

*shakes cast enclosed fist*

Burak Gazan · Post by **Burak Gazan** » 2007-02-27 03:42pm

I was trying to type and read the tv screen with the other eye, so it was a tough go . Boy , thats going to be the talk talk on the call in shows for a few days. But not the first time the Oil has done something like it though. I just wonder what their fans are going to say about it.

Darth Garden Gnome · Post by **Darth Garden Gnome** » 2007-02-27 03:46pm

Oilers call it quits on '07 when they can't re-sign their guy... crazy deal.

Burak Gazan · Post by **Burak Gazan** » 2007-02-27 03:47pm

Indeed DGG, I can't wait to see how they spin this for the fans they just told to go home and hope Calgary does well in the playoffs.

Wayne's on TSN now commenting on the deal, and his own stuff -- mostly pure vanilla, and planning for the future with picks and kids, etc

Archon · Post by **Archon** » 2007-02-27 03:50pm

Hmm...

The Oilers make out like bandits if Smyth resigns in Edmonton in the off season.

EDIT:

Norstrom to Dallas.
