the deal i made for martin has a stipulation based off the financial situation of the Thrashers next year. with guys like V.Fillpulla (signing bigger deal than expected off his ELC) biting the Thrasher's last season causing them to have to move players for less than market value the team has made a simple stipulation in this latest deal that enables they have flexibility

Kirk,

Make the stipulations not have anything to do with trading the player back to you. That is what is against the rules.

Well said George.

The NHL allows this trade:

Boston Recieves:

Petteri Nokelainen

NYI Recieve:
Boston 2nd if Nokelainen plays in 82 NHL games over the 08 and 09 NHL seasons if Nokelainen plays less than 82 NHL games in those seasons NYI recieve Boston 4rth.

NHL would not allow this stipualation....... If Nokelainen scores 60 NHL goals in those 2 years the Islanders have the option of taking him back.

If only Boston put the stipulation in that if Thornton won the Hart Trophy the year they traded him they could have him back for Stuart and Primeau lol.

Phoenix 1st for ballard? Gosh I envy Toronto on this one.

Why? I moved Tyutin for Columbus' 1st and acquired Ballard for Phoenix's 1st. A net gain for me in my opinion.

You must have been really envious then of the return I got for Leclaire:

to San Jose:
Pascal LeClaire

to Anaheim:
SJ 1 (2010), SJ 2 (2010), SJ 3 (2010)

Particularly where in the NHL, the Sens got Leclaire and a 2nd round pick for Vermette...

Regardless of what you moved for Tyutin I'm looking at the deal by itself. You give up a potential 1st overall pick (very very small potential) but still has a chance. Blackhawks got kane with a #5 spot year's back. In return you get a solid 2/3 type who logs lots of minutes on a team with 1 other good dman.

I'm fairly certain someone like Colin Wilson or Alex Pietrangelo will be there with that Phx pick- in which case both have far greater value in my eyes than Ballard.

Also, I was hoping to deal Zetterberg + for those two early picks.

If the Phoenix pick ends up top 3, I will probably be disappointed. However, if it is lower than that (say 7th overall), I think I will have done well. I'd rather take a sure thing like Ballard than run the draft lottery and maybe end up with an eventual Benoit Pouliot, Gilbert Brule or Al Montoya... When Boumeester leaves Florida this summer, Ballard will be given a far greater roll as well. I need a guy that can step in immediately, not a guy that is going to take 2 or 3 more years to have good ratings.

Honestly, I think this is just sour grapes on your part.
