[Ed.]

Simmons! Just switched to Sportsnet. Cannot handle that jackass.

#fantasyhockeyproblems. When I sent Oshie, Bonino, Brodin and a 2nd for him last month I was thinking he'd play with Stamkos, not those two scrubs.

when i traded perry and benn for stamkos, was thinking he'll play with MSL... FML

Uhhh.. I think your twitter is hacked Dobber...

Hate to say this, but Brodeur is in real danger of turning into hockey's version of Brett Favre........#canofwormsopened

What are the odds Callahan plays with Stammer? I'm thinking slim. Both are shooters/scorers. I say playmaking Purcell moves to the Stamkos line and Callahan plays with Filppula. Palat and Killorn round out the top 6.

It wasn't a business in the early 90s?

I think it has always been a business; even when it first began. However, since the early 2000's the money part of the NHL drastically changed the daily operations.

When are we going to get invited to Dobber International Headquarters? (for beer and Pizza)

I picture the war room something like a cross between transit control in Pelham 1 2 3 and the Star Wars mission control on Hoth...

Gaborik to LA?

I think they may try Kucherov with Stamkos and slot Callahan in with Filppula as well. He'll still maintain his peripheral stats, but hopefully he does get some PP time...maybe with Stammer?

Conacher to Buffalo for Free... Potter to Boston for a pen and piece of paper...

In danger of it? I'd say he already has

[Gaborlick]

And I'll disagree. The accusation is based entirely on the timing of the request, not his reasons. Tampa is second in their division, despite losing their best player for 50+, and the team has banded together to overcome that loss. In the midst of a playoff battle where they have true potential to go deep in the playoffs their captain (who's played there for 12 seasons already) can't wait to request a trade until the offseason in 2 MONTHS. Any way you shake it, he's acting like a 12 year old and the only thing that matters to Marty is Marty's ego. Terrible captain, terrible choice for captain, and he never deserved it. He doesn't care about anything but himself.

Everything you are saying is speculation. He may or may not have requested a trade. This was probably a business decision. Shedding St Louis' salary and gaining a rental and two picks in the draft. Yes they lose a PPG. Maybe Yzerman knows championship teams and this one isn't one yet. I don't care who was upset or anything like that. I think its a good move for both sides.

Not to mention Martin is 38 and Callahan is much younger.

That's what I was thinking.
