The trade deadline is over and you can breathe easy now. Well, that is if you’ve sufficiently expressed your emotions over any favorites moving along (so long and thanks for everything Vladislav Namestnikov).
If you’re past that, or never felt that way at all and are ready for the day’s winning GM to skate a celebratory victory lap around the rink, with a player’s plane ticket and keys to a local hotel room held triumphantly over his head, maybe you can let us know who you think that should be.
This is Raw Charge and we’re Tampa Bay Lightning-centric so we completely understand if you want to be homers and heap more praise on Steve Yzerman. It’s not like that would be unwarranted. But if you want to be objective and throw a vote toward someone else, that’s fine too. Or not. Hey, it’s a poll. Answer however you see fit.
So tell us, please, who won this year’s Tradely Cup, the one major competitive event that happens during hockey season that takes place on paper instead of ice and is determined RIGHT NOW entirely by what potentially might eventually happen, or not, at a later date.
The comments below serve as an excellent forum to bolster your argument (no uncivil arguing please).
