Like I said, not taking anything away from Thomas. He is one of my fave goalies, and I am glad he is getting the respect he deserves. However, I do think that a .940 save percentage for Boston isn't the same as an equally high save percentage for a lesser team. If Lundqvist keeps up his play, I would really hope he finally gets a vezina. Insanely talented and consistent goalie to have never won a Vezina, and he is having the type of year that garners it (so far).

The team has a great make up, and it works so much to their advantage as they don't have a superstar on the team (outside of Chara) who is going to command a 6+ million salary.

I dont know, I mean I do think he would trade Ryan for 1st or 2nd overall no problem, but I dont think Murray risks only getting a 5th-7th overall pick for Ryan.

Shane Doan with his first career hat trick! Congrats! Good old Albertan boy! (His Dad is pretty cool, owns a ranch in Calgary). Ridiculous blood lines that family has too. Doan and Carey Price are second cousins, Keaton Ellerby (Florida Panthers) and him are cousins. He's also related to Catrina Le May Doan but through marriage.

Also in 2012, the Leafs penalty kill is a perfect 100 percent. Crazy but true. And Kessel and Lupul are the two most consistent offensive players in the league. Who would have thought

That's a pretty bad trade for St Louis. Like really bad.

I'd say Kulemin and Stewart are a wash at this point. And Perron is probably a wash with Grabovski wit his concussion issues.

But I just don't see what St Louis gets out of trading away their number 1 in Pietrangelo and their best (arguable but Scwartz and Tarasenko are probably top 10 prospects in the league) got Frattin, Franson and a 1st. I would love it but I don't see why. Plus Perron's upside is pretty damn high even with his injury concerns.

The second one I disagree with, I think he would trader Ryan for a shot at a lottery pick. Clb, if he made that trade closer to the deadline would still probably be a 3rd overall or better.
