Devils get better..

...if that is possible. It amazes me when a team that is already playing so well can actually improve from a trade.

The New Jersey Devils were neck and neck with the washington Capitals until the recent hot run by Alex's team. It seems the Devils now have their own Ovechkin with th etrade bringing Ilya Kovalchuk over from the Atlanta Thrashers. That may give the Devils just enough to win a 4th Cup with Broduer playing consistent again. I have to hand it to Lou, he is an excellent GM, and makes that team great year in and year out regardless of who is behind the bench. Having Marty helps Lou look smart too.

I don't think the Isles have to make a trade but lets see what Garth can do this season, although I am extremely happy with how are team looks, it would be nice to get something by the trade deadline in the way of a high pick or blue liner. I agree with getting rid of Witt, but just can't believe we couldn't get anything back for him in a trade, even if it was like a 3rd rounder. Placing aguy on waivers seems to be a waste.

As for the Rangers, I was not that impressed with the move for Olli Jokinen. Tortorella use of the lines seems to be the big reason that all lines don't produce. I am glad we went with Gordon as our coach instead of Tortorella.
