The draft day shocker to me is both Boston and Washington. Boston gave 2 pretty good propects for Recchi and Wshington who had a chance to get a goalie from Gerber, Tellqvist and possibly Raycroft but chose instead to go with a shakey Theodore and 2 rookies backups. Possibly Johnson is recovering from his injury but you have to question their no moves at all.

I’m guessing Boston is really going after the cup this year, just like we did last year with Hossa. If Recchi was on the Penguins he’d be the #3 scorer right now, on Boston he is their #4.

They couldn’t have been jacking the price up too high – a conditional third to fifth??? Wasn’t McPhee able to do that?
And, all due respect to PKrundel but what the heel was Boston thinking? Recchi in that fold? Chiarelli needs his head examined.

As to the teams in the EAST not doing anything Washington usually waits for another week to announce what they are doing! Just kidding, but the Capitals have always been the last to report in.

I meant to say that Talbot would be too much to pay. However, bigger wings and PKers lean to iron-hand Dupuis being shipped.

Scuttle-butt is now heating up that the Pens are attempting to get Jarkko Ruutu back in the fold. I think maybe Dupuis… I would think Talbot. Also heard was that Shero was in the bidding for Guerin but only to jack-up the price that the Capitals will have to pay to land him.

It would appear that the Flames are gearing up for a very serious run indeed. Less than two hours and no playoff teams in the East have done anything. This looks good for the Pens chances.

I think the only thing that can screw-up Vermette (who will play center for the Blue Jackets) is Ken Hitchcock who stifles most every player with whom he comes in contact. Just my opinion.

Got to go against you Doc Hook. Vermette has already had his best years in the NHL and does noy have the skill set required to get better with age. I agree with the ‘band-aid’ player, but how Murray managed to get a 2nd rounder also is beyond me
