With the passing of the NHL trade deadline, it marked the second deadline that the Kent Hughes-Jeff Gorton “HuGo” tandem has gone through. The rumours were swirling, big trades were happening, but our Habs remained low key quiet throughout. The only significant trade ended up being trading veteran forward Evgenii Dadonov to the Dallas Stars…
WOW… that one syllable, one word that basically described how I have felt throughout this playoffs.

Wow, does Marc Bergevin love making a splash in the off-season. Last year it was the Shea Weber for PK Subban trade that shut down twitter and various hockey forums online, and now he pulls off another blockbuster trade that has the hockey world still buzzing.
