My thoughts on the trade deadline: is there a guy out there that is available at a cost of less than a pyrrhic victory to obtain? A guy that can also kickstart playoff scoring from the likes of Svech and Necas and the other top dogs on the team? Was Bo Horvat or Timo Meier the secret elixir to make that happen? If Waddell can find that guy, then excellent, but I don't that the player exists. I think we have the parts in place to actually win the Cup this season, but we need our best players to be the team's best players come mid-April through late June. OK, fine, we could use another strong defenseman, but even without him, I think we have a Cup winning team in Raleigh.
ETA:
We're seeing the ridiculous returns that teams are getting for third line guys!
