Yeah, it's hard for all us fans not to get swept away with rumors of player movement.  The circulation of the NHL heart has slowed to a crawl the past few years.  All this hype about this years expansion draft trade frenzy has again been a dud.  I had a feeling, and it's growing, that their will just be hardly any trades this year again.  If you look around the league everyone is pretty much set already, all those D going nowhere now.  Just have to wait until GM's get needy again.

And I want to say,  I'm proud of Joe Sakic sticking to his price.  It takes a lot of character to stand in the line of fire that he's under.  Frankly, I don't want to trade Duchene anymore.  All this character assassination toward Duchene and Sakic I've been reading has left a bad taste in my mouth.  When you take an honest look at the two men It's mostly unwarranted and it has perturbed me.  I feel like Sakic's last interview has shown a different man.  Like the one who put Scott Stevens to the ice in game7
