Scott Burnside:

It wasn’t so much that Yzerman wasn’t enamored with Downie. Downie has shown he has the chops to play with the big boys like Martin St. Louis and Steven Stamkos — with whom he is exceedingly tight — but still has the power to annoy opponents. But Downie has arbitration rights as a restricted free agent and so did Quincey. These moves give Yzerman significant flexibility moving forward as he has a number of holes to fill in his lineup most notably finding a No. 1 goaltender.

WOW!

I see the beginning of a plan coming together for Yzerman. There are two very solid goaltending prospects that should be available toward the end of the 1st round. If Yzerman is to trade for a goalie that’s ready to take on a starting role, he’ll have to give up a high level goalie prospect or a pick capable of supplying one amongst other assets. I love Downs but I think with the speedy more skilled forwards that would be competing for a spot next year, he would end up being on the 3rd line anyway.

I know this is a bit late, but if you want goaltending prospects, the Avs have 5 good ones practically ready to go (Desjardins/Pickard/Aittokallio/Millan/Patterson). I’m not sure why none of them were included in the trade.

Yeah, he’s going to be good. Pickard has a ton of potential as well – he just set the WHL record for most saves in a career.

It’s certainly going to be interesting to see what the Avs do with all of them this summer. Aittokallio, Patterson, and Millan’s rights all expire this year, and Desjardins is a RFA. They all look very promising, but with Giguere and Varlamov both still signed next year, we don’t have room for all the prospects.

I can't believe Yzerman completely forgot my Finnish goalie prospect while he had y'all on the phone.

I love the kid. I’ve had him on my wish list for a few months. Y’all get a full-time goalie coach and you’ll set for years if you can hang onto Varly and Sami. I think that if Aittokallio could get onto an SEL team for two years that’d be the best benefit right now, but I’m gonna be keeping an eye on him wherever he ends up.

It’s nice to know that we aren’t the only ones high on Sami though :)

Yzerman, pre-game part 1

“We look at our team and where we are today and the trades we’ve made in the last week, the players we’ve moved out for draft picks. Will we be able to replace them? Is the return on those players, is it worth doing? Our options today were to keep Steve Downie or to keep Kyle Quincey or the first round pick and we wanted that first round pick so the decision was made.”

High praise again for Mikkelson from Mish and Esposito

I haven’t gotten to watch him much, but everything I’ve heard has sounded great. Did Yzerman really cash Blair Jones in for a solid blue-liner with a dangerous point shot?

it was a 4th-line forward for a decent AHL d-man a month or so ago

Yzerman pre-game part 2

On what the stockpile of draft picks gives the Lightning…

“…Draft related or potentially trade related to acquire players, we have some flexibility. We can hang on to some of those picks and still if theres a move that comes up, if a team is looking to move a player, there’s a lot of options for us. And we get to the draft, we can move up, move down, do a lot of different things. So we’re excited about the future. Today obviously, i think maybe we took one step backward today. We traded players off our roster for draft picks but I think it puts us ahead in the long run.”

Yzerman pre-game part 3

On what today’s moves mean for this year’s team:

“These moves are made to make us better in the future. Any situation that comes along from today through the trade deadline into the offseason, we’re willing to look at…My goal is to win a Stanley Cup and I think we have to do some tough things, some difficult things along the way to do that. We need young players. We need to draft well. We need to build that way and this was an opportunity to take advantage of that and acquire more picks, relatively high picks. As far as the message it sends to our players: I want to win a Stanley Cup and I’m going to what I have to do to win a Stanley Cup.”

Stamkos, raising his level of play to make up for V4 being out

Anybody this this guy doesn’t deserve the “C”. Defenders have to literally be inside his equipment to stop him. Hooked, slashed, dragged down and still getting quality chances. Huge period by Brewer and Hedman. It’s refreshing to see so many players raising their games to playoff level to make up for their injured or departed teammates. I really like Trevor Smith.

He doesn’t deserve the C. Not yet. Give him a few years still. It’ll probably be his eventually, but he’s nowhere near ready to be captain right now.

As someone who played Hockey for many years

As well as coached and even refereed ( is that a word? ) I can tell you that Stamkos is the leader in that room now. I’m not trying to marginalize V4 or MSL but Stammer and Purcell are what we need to look to for the future, I love Marty to death but he’s on a pace for only 20 goals. Vinny is just not the type to be vocal and out front as the face of the team. With Yzerman’s recent dealings it’s clear that this teams is turning the page on the past and moving forward. I’m not saying Stamkos immediately gets the “C”, just that he deserves it.

On the temptation to keep Kyle Quincey

“Initally in discussions with Colorado, yeah I was interested in Kyle Quincey. And we thought more about it and in discussions with general managers around the league and what they’re looking for, this idea came up and i really had to think about it. Does this make sense to do it? And we decided what we wanted to in moving forward. Taking everything into consideration: contract status, where they’re going to fit on the team, what type of player they are. we felt like, you know, do we want Kyle Quincey or do we want a first round pick and we decided we’ll take the first round pick.”

I'd say B+

he got about market value for Moore and Kubina, which was worth it given that they were UFAs. You need more than market value to get an A.

I’m not on the “wow, he turned Downie into a 1st round pick??? AMAZING!” bandwagon (after all, it’s a very late first-rounder), but a first-rounder for a streaky player up for arbitration certainly isn’t a bad deal.

obviously, if you manage the draft well, that grade can rise. if you manage it poorly, the grade can drop

Okay, I'm the last one here, let me turn out the lights.

Steven Stamkos remains a monster and now is on a point-per-game pace for his career. The Bolts give the Ducks their first regulation loss of their extended road trip and win themselves their 4th game in their past sixth.

The team now heads out on the road for a three game road swing… First is Winterpeg and the former-Thrashers. Next is Pittsburgh and then New Jersey before closing the month out at home against Les Habs.

3-2 the final from Times Palace. Good night all.
