Quick someone tell me about Petry because otherwise I'm just going to guess and say that the Habs robbed defensive powerhouse Edmonton Oilers of a proven winner.

His +/- is bad so he must just be Tom Gilbert 2.0

I just don't get that thinking. Matthias is having a great year and we can move him to a real contender for picks and prospects. He's good, but hardly irreplaceable. Anyone who watched the game last night knows this team has a 0% chance of advancing past the first round, so the team should ship out expendable players and work on continuing to restock our terrible prospect pool in the hopes of finding ANYONE to replace the Twins in a couple years.

I will be really pissed if Nate Schmidt rides the pine while Gleason or Leopold get 18+ minutes a game. Schmidt is incredibly underrated by his own team.

On the other hand, a good point brought up by someone else was that even if Gleason sucks, Trotz will give him bigger minutes so it forces him to also play Green more at 5v5 which is a good thing. Still, I'd rather Trotz just play Green and Schmidt more.

Weekes is saying Buffalo's getting calls about Stewart (expected) and Neuvirth (slightly unexpected)

Trading away Neuvirth and running with a goalie tandem of Lindback and Hackett is a good idea if you're interested in the idea of finishing in 30th place, which I am very interested in actually
