Ok, so we have not done this in awhile, but I figured we could try it again, being that we have this LONG extended off season.

So every player starts with 10 pts.  you can "vote" once a day by talking a point from 1 player and adding it to another.

for example:

Elias                10

Hedberg           10

I decide I want to take from hedberg & give to Elias, it would not be

Elias                11

Hedberg           9

When a player gets to 0 they are out.

Please make sure you update the list evertime you vote, also it helps if we keep the players inorder of their points.

So here is the starting Point..

Begin your voting!

There is an article about great deadline trades thats on ESPN, hopefully no one has talked about it already, but this 1 inpeticular is unreal, how Milbury gets a job as an analyst after this trade is crazy, you'd have to be a moron to make this trade, of course he also traded Luongo & Jokinen to get ythe #1 overall pick to take Dipietro ( did the rangers pay him off to ruin the islanders?)

anyway here is the discussion on the isles horrific trade...

What he was before: Chara was a 24-year-old defenseman whose main claim to fame was being the tallest player in NHL history. He’d played parts of four seasons for the Islanders, establishing a reputation as a reasonably solid defensive defenseman (though he’d been a -27 each of the two years before the trade) without any offensive upside (he’d scored just eight goals and 29 points in 231 career games).

The trade: The Islanders sent Chara, Bill Muckalt, and the second-overall pick in the 2001 draft (which the Senators used to select Jason Spezza) to Ottawa for disgruntled center Alexei Yashin.

What he was after: Chara immediately became a star in Ottawa, dominating physically and going a combined +92 in his first three years. More surprisingly, he suddenly developed into an offensive threat, scoring 10 goals the year after the trade. He was named a first-team All-Star in 2004, and went on to win the Norris Trophy in Boston.

What were the Islanders thinking? This was a Mike Milbury deal, so your guess is as good as mine. The Islanders apparently felt like Yashin would be an elite superstar they could build the franchise around (oops). Plenty of experts hated the deal at the time, given that Yashin was inconsistent and moody, and Spezza was considered a potential franchise player. But nobody predicted Chara would develop the way he did.
