Yup.

You can include a few more teams depending on playoffs performances without question.

Pittsburgh comes to mind especially with everything they've done recently. If MAF has a playoff like the past couple again it may not matter how many goals the Penguins can score.
Bishop to TB. Looking better to move RL in the Summer as goalies go off the market.
I love every move Jim Benning makes 8-)

Yeah I agree.

I'm hoping just like everyone else that the Canucks can add something else before the deadline. But it seems that all that is being moved is picks and prospects right now. So if the Canucks have to get rid a of a few more then they can hopefully recoup them in a Luo deal in the summer.

After hearing of the amnesty buyouts allowed by teams in the new CBA I though immediately that the best return for Luongo would be this summer after teams can assess their needs better.

Cory is a good young prospect.

If he wasn't so small we could have used him...

Bishop moving takes another asset out of the Goalie market. Still thinking Lou will move in the summer.

He is second in rookie scoring scoring. Of course playing with some of those guys on Tampa would help most rookies. Good trade for Ottawa. Good pick up for Tampa. Basically, a hockey deal.

Philadelphia is so desperate. I think Tampa getting Bishop may be enough to get them into the playoffs. Flyers getting Mason...NOT

I will be really disappointed with Gillis if they cannot acquire a name today.

Vancouver has postured themselves (at least as they see it) heavy contenders. Meanwhile it looks like every reasonably attainable wing (rental or otherwise) has slipped away.

...And another one goes.

Pominville to the WIld. Queue early exit via the Kings again.
