Saturday Night Hockey: Trades

I was excited to here about the possibility of the World Cup coming back. I hope to have a post on how it should be set up in time for next weeks SNH - the European division is giving me problems with the schedule. And with that last part of the last sentence: GIMME MY CANADIAN MEDIA CREDENTIALS!

Anyway, to avoid having this spot blank (like 80% of SNH's last season), here are some trades that happened this week.

Trades

To Tampa: Jean-Francois Jacques
To Florida: Future Considerations
Trade Analysis: Can't wait to see what kind of impact Future Considerations makes for Florida.

To Chicago: Henrik Karlsson
To Calgary: 7th round pick (2013)
Trade Analysis: Chicago did need help in net, but I don't think a Calgary backup reject was the idea they had in mind. Plus he was on waivers, why not put in a claim and save the pick?

To Pittsburgh: Chad Kolarik
To New York R: Benn Ferriero
Trade Analysis: Wait, Ferriero wasn't with the Sharks? Stupid lockout making me lose track of roster movements!

To Pittsburgh: Conditional 7th round pick
To Dallas: Carl Sneep
Trade Analysis: How long was Dallas Sneep-ing on that offer?...I think I'm done here.

Lineup Notables

The Inconsistent Goalie(s): Joffrey Lupul (friendly fire...I mean broken forearm) is out. James Reimer is expected to start.
