The sellers: Edmonton, Toronto, and Ottawa stocked the shelves with enough draft picks to deal on Draft Day in June, or just use the draft picks for what they're supposedly good for... actual draft picks...

Here's Brian Burke, tie loosely affixed, on his day...

Losers:

Atlanta- Because Rick Dudley's only allowed to tinker, that's what he got to do picking up Radek Dvorak and Robbie Schrempf while getting rid of Niclas Bergfors, Patrick Rissmiller, and Freddie Modin. He got to rearrange the deck chairs by adding more rental talent. The HQ thinks he's just getting warmed up and is just as equally confused as the Thrash flounder going 5-12-6 in their last 23...

Minnesota for standing pat, Montreal for standing pat, and Columbus for confusing us.

The HQ just wishes there was more to talk about, but it all happened early this year for some silly reason...
