Sitting at home watching trade deadline tv was your first mistake.

It's time to trade for a reliable defenceman.
I used to watch most of TradeCentre but not this year (or last even). It's incredibly boring. I'll go to class and hope for good trades to pop up.

I did the stay home for trade deadline thing once cause I think I was out of work at the time and it was such a waste of a day.
The dream! I have a job with a videoconferencing department that would be 100% doable from home *easily* but will never get the chance because of "optics" per our managers who have themselves all worked from home. Also everyone knows I live a km away from work and it takes me 5-10 minutes to get here by bus and like 15 to walk.
For me personally, this is more *like* work than what I normally do at work, which is passively read reddit. At least with all these trades I'm typing furiously and alt-tabbing between programs, my neighbor in the next cubicle must think I'm going nuts on work shit right now!
Yes and yes. But that's most days for me tbh.
I take trade deadline and free agent day off work to sit at home and watch TSN. For me the question isn't whether or not the 'action' will be worth watching but whether sitting on the couch listening to James Duthie kill time is better than going to work. The answer is always 'hell yes'.
Lol so for the second straight time, Duchene's first game with a new team is against his former team.
ALL. IN. LIKE COLUMBUS.
So this means they are going for it with Bob and Bread, which is admirable.

From Pronman back in August FWIW:
LEGIT NHL PROSPECT
3. Vitaly Abramov, LW, Victoriaville-QMJHL
For the third straight season, Abramov was a top player in the QMJHL, although he didn't have a great world juniors. The former QMJHL MVP has a ton of skill. He makes highly skilled dekes at a fast pace and does so consistently. Abramov is also a quality goal-scorer, who can score from mid-range and isn't afraid to get to the dirty areas. He's also a top-level playmaker who makes unique plays. His warts are that he's small, not a real speedster, which isn't ideal at his height. He has a decent work ethic and energy level, but his game off the puck will be a major question as he turns pro.
HAVE A CHANCE
6. Jonathan Davidsson, RW, Djurgarden-SHL
Davidsson was a favorite of mine from back in his early amateur days and has since developed into a solid pro. He does a lot of things well. Davidsson is skilled, makes plays and has good speed. Despite being a smaller player, I've seen him over the years be a decent penalty killer and I like his work ethic. I think despite offense and skill being his calling card, there are reasonable questions if he has the dynamic traits at his size to be a legitimate NHLer. He's trending well, though, and has put himself in the conversation.

lol they already have Tortorella anyway.
Abramov does have like 20 points in the AHL this season /s ...this trade seems more about the draft pickss
Apparently there is a reason for that, the top 5 scorers for the AHL team are 25-33 years old. He's not getting a lot of prime minutes.
