Im disappointed in myself that I spent my time watching trade deadline thinking anything would happen.... Yzerman really just letting this team end up wherever they end up the last 2 years makes it difficult as a fan to have much excitement. The fact all we did was ship Veleno out for Smith and Mrazek, thats a fail... standing pat would have been better. We added salary next season for no purpose...
That being said, I still am going to watch. They can still turn the season into a positive, they are in the middle of a playoff race... either everyone sulks and it turns out real bad or they pick themselves up and stop feeling sorry for themselves. Not very inspiring stuff, but hard to grade a deadline/free agency/draft the day it happens. The first impression is stinky, very stinky.
