Hmm Flames and Tony Amonte...interesting. Whats Edmonton and Vancouver up to? Whats up with Bertuzzi?
I think Nasland should stay. Take out Jovo the screw up, I think Bertuzzi has learned his lesson.
I fear that Vancouver will be on the outside looking in.. they will lose all thier top players.. and get nothing in return.. Nonis is outmached outgunned and out witted... In Donald Trumps line.. Mr. Nonis.. "you're fired"

ST. LOUIS (CP) - Standout defenceman Chris Pronger has been traded to the Edmonton Oilers for defencemen Eric Brewer, Doug Lynch and Jeff Woywitka.
Pronger, 30, was named the NHL's most valuable player and top defenceman five years ago.
Blues GM Larry Pleau tendered contract qualifying offers to Pronger ($7.22 million US), Keith Tkachuk and Doug Weight last week, and many observers felt he couldn't keep all three high-priced players under the new collective bargaining agreement with its $39-million US cap.
The other shoe fell when the Blues issued a statement on the trade shortly before 1 a.m. Wednesday.
Pronger, the Blues' captain, has played in four NHL all-star games. The six-foot-six native of Dryden, Ont., has 400 points including 94 goals in 722 NHL games.
