Im not going to talk about the other teams moves, because its just not what i want to do at the moment. however the 2 moves we made were great, we got a ton for Dupuis, which I just cant believe. I saw NOTHING from him to believe hes worth even a 4th round pick and supposedly we get Bourret AND a 3rd rounder? The Thrashers are just dumb, what more can you say. Then you have the Ward for Mara deal, which to me is a push. I like Ward a lot, but he clearly wasnt fitting in here, so moving him was the right thing to do.
The next thing you talk about is why the Rangers didnt completely unload. Clearly they thought (judging by the comments made by Sam Weinman) that they still have a shot at the playoffs. With that said I am very thankful the Rangers werent buying. Thats good news to me.
