So... 4 trades with about an hour to go.


YAY!!!!!

It's starting to pick up, looks like GM's might be giving up on their longshot dream trades and settling for the smaller stuff.

IncarceratedBob is a troll of epic proportions. He was calling everyone out over the last 2 days who dared doubt his claim that Nash deal was done with the Rangers, cursing and making up stories about press conferences, etc. Now that nothing happened with Nash he is saying he was playing Rangers fans, and being a d!ck about it too. It baffles my mind how anyone still follows him on twitter.

My link

On actual “breaking reports” tweets, with specific information, Bob “broke” (or Tweeted before anyone else) the story little better than 2% of the time. A quick search of Twitter timelines shows that Bob simply copied the Tweets of some of his followers, nearly word for word, from a few minutes earlier.

I've been following him today to see what he says about NHL trades. So far he claims Gaustad, Pahlson, Oduya and Allen have all been traded.... And yet none of them have.

Don't forget Kostitsyn. With Oduya now a Blackhawk and Pahlson in Vancouver, he's 3-for-5 on the day.

and Nash to NYR talks are picking up...

could you imagine he gets that one too?

[thelastonealive]

a 2nd and a 3rd for Oduya. 'hawks got fleeced.

Yeah, but all he said was they are being traded. Never a destination. He also said Allen and Spacek were dealt. These are ALL names that have been rumored to move for weeks. All he did was say they were moved and sit back and see if it happened.

It's the same thing he did with Nash to NYR. Everyone was rumoring it. So he said it was done, and waited to see if it would happen. When it became obvious it wouldn't, he claimed it was a 'reverse jinx'. Watch what happens if Nash DOES go to the Rags.

I don't know why some of you even bother with these twitter idiots. I mean, I'm bored but I'm never that bored to be bothered reading that garbage.

This is the most boring trade deadline ever

[Legion15]

nj.com link nj.com story on how we might have been interested for Steve Ott (but states giving up top prospects too steep a price)

someone in the comments proposed the thought of Tedenby for Ott...

If this were to happen I highly doubt he would make tonight's game.

He's already saying "we really gonna go HAM #RJ 'd the #RJ 'd on them" WRT the Nash thing. Dude's definitely a troll.

I didn't see the Spacek one, but Allen was already counted in the 3-for-5. So he's 3-for-6. For someone who's nothing more than a rumor monger, those are good numbers. And, honestly, I couldn't care less that he's only saying someone's dealt with no further info. There are literally dozens of players who have been rumored to get dealt over the last couple weeks. He's named six, and three have moved. Even if he's just picking named out of a hat, he's doing so at an entertainingly high success rate.

To me, it's all part of the fun for a day like today. I can understand some being frustrated by it, but it entertains me. To each his own.

o ya i agree

[Amberite]

Apparently a false alarm.

Haha what timing by the city. I can't help but think that someone in that city office is a hockey fan and laughing at this.

Exactly. ANYONE following news today would be able to be 50%+ right by saying "player x will be traded".

DebPlacey: There will be at least a couple trades announced after 3p, trade calls at NHL offices backed up [via Twitter]

interesting

[devilsfan26]

This is the most boring trade deadline ever

Someone says this every single year, and the same thing every July 1st. It's like people are expecting non-stop trades all day long.

[Onddeck]

interesting

yea there usually is.. apparently its due to a long line of calls that exists to get trades in

Considering we're only two years removed from the most insane deadline day in history, its not a surprise. This year is definitely slow compared to the last few.
