    Since the trade:

    Hodgson - 8GP, 0G, 0A, -2, 7 hits

    Kassian - 6GP, 1G, 1A, -1, 19 hits

    ZOMG!!! We won the trade!!!

    Seriously though, most of the detractors of the trade said that this hurt us NOW, because Hodgson was already developed into a key contributor, while Kassian was still pretty green. The truth is, though, neither are developed to the point where they can be relied upon in the playoffs as key contributors.

    This also adds proof to the argument that Cody didn't score points with us IN SPITE of his spot on the 3rd line, but rather, may have been successful BECAUSE OF his limited minutes, and his quality of competition. AV has consistently showed the ability to get the most out of his players (with few exceptions), and Cody's production may be a shining example of that.

    Ryan Callahan over Marian Gaborik?

    Erik Karlsson over Sergei Gonchar?

    Claude Giroux over Mike Richards and/or Jeff Carter?

    Only 1 representative each from the Flyers, Canadiens, and Kings - who are #2-4 in the league?

    Neuvirth? Are you kidding now? What has he proven, other than he's as good as Jose Theodore?

    Iginla is still a big star. So is Pronger, Thornton, etc. People like to see those guys. The all-star game is not about the absolute best this minute, flavours of the month, or who will be a star by next year. It's all about NAMES.

    If a D goes to a franchese team in year one, then what would get an F? How about an E?

    Florida was 27th in the league in offence last year. In the offseason they traded their top offensive forward (Horton), and didn't add anybody to replace him. Stillman and Reinprecht were already showing severe decline, and are now are a year older. I would say they are likely the worst in the league. And yet...they get a B-?

    Outside of Streit, Islanders don't have anyone who would crack a good team's top-4 - Wiz included. And their bottom 3 are even worse.

    So nobody in the Eastern conference has anything less than a C+ in ANYTHING???

    Why wouldn't the Islanders get a D for defence? Why are Florida's pack of rag-tag forwards in the B's for offence? The Habs currently have Alex Auld in net, and the rights to a basketcase who doesn't even want to play there, and you give them a B for goaltending?

    Somebody needs to learn the concept of grading on a curve...

    Wow, picking the overwhelming favourites...way to go out on a limb!

    I would not be surprised if anyone but Washington lost the 1st round, but the most likely upset I see is Ottawa overcoming the cup champs. Of course, that will depend on goaltending, but the Senators have had better stretches of it than the Pens have. In the West, call me crazy, but I see the Blackhawks primed for an upset.
