deadline day part 1: leopold

well, i have to commend heir sutter on this one. he pretty much made something out of nothing: parlaying a draft pick and a low-level prospect (ryan wilson) + the guy we picked up off of waivers yesterday (nycholat) into a top four defenseman. nice work, daz.... painless, thus far.

as i said to duncan below, i'm most concerned about giving up lombo, boyd, gio, pardy, backlund, negrin, aulie, nemisz, armstrong & first rounders. add those to the roster guys that simply WONT get moved (iginla, regehr, phaneuf, bourque, glencross, cammalleri), or CANT POSSIBLY be moved (bertuzzi, aucoin).

2.5 more hours !!! lots of jokinen talk. lombo in the mix. it hurts me.... realistically, to get this done, we'd have to lose some serious cap space (read: aucoin). that move, in my opinion, drastically changes the chemistry of this team and seriously would piss me the eff off....

TSN reports Jokinen to Calgary for Lombardi, Prust and 1st round pick.

Choked about giving up Lombardi, but... nice acquisition.

i'm devastated. not just cause of lombo, but because i know sutter's not done.

If he gets rid of Aucoin and Bertuzzi this year, I will name my first-born Darryl, even if it's a girl.

Also I see Lombardi coming back in 2 years to the Flames.

1st rounder is conditional - Sutter's choice of either 09 or '10.

Also we're getting a 3rd rounder back.
