Go for Gabs instead (speaking from a Rangers standpoint)

thats what i was thinking as well when the Bruins were supposedly in the mix to get him. It was reported that Bergeron and Kessel would be given up for him. Waaaaay too much for my liking.

I will admit that I think he is overrated but maybe since he is on an elite team now that we could really see what this guy is made of. I also believe someone on the open market would have paid him 8 or 9 million a year.

I hate to lose Quincey, but considering he was someone picked up last year off waivers from Detroit, and Preissing barely played last year-----I love this trade. Looks like JJ isn't set to leave after all----YES!

This has nothing to do with the Smyth trade. I found this interesting the Kings were in the running for Heatley and the asking price was not Johnson but instead Doughty. Dean Lombardi backed out when Murray asked for him.

I happen to know for a fact that the Kings had only a minimal interest in Heatley, and the Senators asking price of Doughty washed that little bit of interest away completely.

Never believed those rumors. I like this deal. Young Jack needs to prove himself some more before making that kind of money.
