With the players available I don\'t see how trading would be easy to do - the other GM\'s can just go to the FA pool and pick up guys of pretty much equal quality as you wish to trade them. Havlat might be the exception.

About the only players that intrigue me from the list of available players are Kozlov, Connolly and Antropov - but at this point I don\'t see a clearcut pick-up - but I think by the end of the week things should be a lot clearer and then there may be a move or two that you would want to make.

there\'s a nice write up on Hamilton and Kozlov on the site and it looks like both are hot right now. Hamilton is leading the powerplay unit and Kozlov is hot b/c of Ovetchkin. Both solid pick-ups in my eyes and 2 guys that are on my watch list.

as for goalies, i like DiPietro. He\'ll get you a few shutouts however dont think the isles are gonna keep up the good play.

Emery is gonna be fired up to get back into the net. a little goalie controversy is gonna pick up his play.
