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

well, whats more interesting is that they are currently backed up. I think we would all agree that activity appears to be "light" today but maybe its just the office slow to process today.

It happens every year. Nieuwendyk wasnt announced to the Devils until after 5:30.

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.

I didn't look at the exact number of trade that have been done, but it seems like a really small amount of deals with 20 minutes remaining compared to the other years.

Sami Pahlson went from worst to first in a day lol

TSN has 8 trades, 15 players and 8 picks for the day. But I think it can be argued that trades in the preceding week or so should count as well. It's one of the least active deadlines I can remember (thus far).

What if Nash is already on his way to New York for the game?!?

Won't happen.

Spector just tweeted that this is the quietest deadline ever for him (since 2000).

So what's left of #Thrashers/#NHLJets Kovalchuk trade? Oduya gone, Bergfors gone. 1st-rd pick gone (to CHI for Buff Sopel). Cormier (AHL).

They had 16 last year I think. Will be around that. 9 now.

ghdi: I think the deadline used to be 4 pm or 5 pm though.

Yea I think you're right. I remember being on here after work one deadline and it was later. I think its only been earlier since the lockout.

Bob is at it again says a canadien team has made a blockbuster trade still waiting for confirmation. Lets see if he is right.

so what was the jist of the day? any devils rumors or close deals?

[ghdi]

This is the slowest deadline day since 1993 if the #s hold. Last time there was less than 10 deals.

[NJDevs4978]

Maybe Nash went to Toronto lol.

Oh wait...that's the other Bob. Stop posting his nonsense or at least tag it.

There was speculation by Chere that we could be offering Tedenby for Ott, but not a peep about us otherwise.

And he's already (kinda) backtracking. Without exactly saying it, he made it sound like a done deal earlier.

Also, Kypreos says Rolston's headed back to Boston.

[SterioDesign]

suddenly Rolston might win another cup

so is Mottau lol
