Trade Deadline Day Threadapalooza
A not so long time ago, in a galaxy rather close by... Deadline day is here and the pressure is on Canucks GM Mike Gillis. He made a decent move picking up Derek Roy, but there's one move everyone's waiting for...

THE LUONGO CHALLENGE
So I don't know about you, but I've thought about it a bit, I don't know if it makes much sense to keep both Luongo and Schneider on the same NHL team any more, but that's just me. Which...
Six Years Ago Today
Since the Bertuzzi/Luongo trade involved a lot of players and changed Vancouver's landscape for six seasons, let's take a quick look at back at the pieces in this blockbuster.
Luongo To Columbus For Nash?
It's possible.

This is a big trade, potentially the biggest MG has made in so far as the lasting impact on the franchise is concerned. How happy are you with the decisions made?

So Who Exactly Is Chris Higgins?
Earlier, when I recapped the two deadline deals, I made some obvious comments about Chris Higgins lack of consistency and delicate fall from grace over the past two seasons. However poking around a bit more at his past two seasons and I think we got a bit more than meets the eye.

What looked to be the second NHL trade deadline that MG would sit out, he pulled a few fast moves as the clock struck midnight.

The SOB Era Ends; Vancouver Picks Up Ryan Parent & Jonas Andersson
Mike Gillis could be the devil. But damn it he's our devil. In one single move, he reduced some of his cap hell, got a serviceable defenseman (if healthy) and dumped a headache. What did YOU do this morning huh?

You would think Florida would be weary of trading with Vancouver but, by the looks of it, they may have gotten the better deal for a change.
Vancouver Adds Andrew Alberts As Deadline Passes
What do you do when you get shut out (again) of all the deadline bedlam? You find the team that is just loading up on picks and you shake them furiously to see what falls out of their pockets.
Vancouver Acquires Sean Zimmerman In Schneider Deal
Good on Gillis for getting something in return for one of the worst moves he's made in his short time as GM. Vancouver gets not only a six rounder from Phoenix, but adds Sean Zimmerman, a 6th round (170th overall) pick by the New Jersey Devils in the 2005 draft.
Vancouver Acquires Yan Stastny
Gillis finally makes a move, trading Pierre-Cedric Labrie (from HF: Labrie’s limited skating will prevent him from ever being more than a role player at any level) to St. Louis for Yan Stastny.
