Dallas - Pittsburg trade

Dallas traded James Neal, a young wing who scored 27 and 21 goals in the past two years, and Matt Niskanen a young defenseman for Goligoski another young defenseman.

Are you kidding me? Who is running the Dallas ship into the ground?

Can we trade Barker for Loui Eriksson? We'll even throw in a Kobasew to sweeten the pot...maybe the rights to Sheppard if they drive a hard bargain.

Goligoski is an awesome offensive dman. They need him. Niskanen is a waste of money at $1.5mm and they pretty much added him to the trade to get him off the cap. Neal was pretty darn good though.

Keep watching looks like a positioning play to me. Maybe Hemsky.....

I think Dallas needs to clear some cap space if they want to keep Richards around, from what I understand Niskanen hasn't been playing all that great and might be a salary dump. So you are left with a young talented forward traded for a young talented D-man, which just happens to fit a big need for each team.

As far as a cap dump, Dallas is 8mil under this year. They don't need the space. Was Niskanen really playing that badly?

It does appear they have a little cap room (I currently see 7) but that was after they unloaded an extra 2.5 on the Penguins.

From what I have heard Niskanen wasn't playing all that great last year and has even regressed a little this year, he is still young so hopefully he can turn things around but I am guessing Dallas decided to give up on him.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!

      Minnows are 50 cents each, and leeches are $50 a pound.

      Absolutely. I get full bars all-along the drive from Cook to The Landing, and out into Head O Lakes bay. I can't say that I've stared much at my phone signal anywhere else besides on my way to Black Bay. We still don't get much for service there because there are a lot of steep slopes with tall trees in the way. That was expected though. The tower is definitely providing better service to the area in general IMO.

      Any updates on this new tower? Has it helped AT and T customers throughout the lake get better service?

      Went in to Lucky 7 to get some crappie minnows today. All they had were crappie minnows and fatheads. She said to call in advance for the opener, couldn't say for sure if they'd have rainbows, shiners, etc for opener!
