A few things come to mind...did the Canes give Eaves a physical before signing off on the trade? Was his shoulder injury mis-represented by the Sens? Maybe using him as trade bait is what was planned all along but then he re-injured his shoulder and nobody would take him. Or is "the plan" changing now with the difficulty of getting Timmy signed, Hedican likely moving on and Wes retiring? If it looks like we're going to lose Timmy in the near future, Patty could be used in a package to get a solid d-man with several years left on his contract.
Then again, Corvo alone isn't worth giving up both Commie and Stillman. Did JR specifically target Patty or did he just say "someone else too" and Patty is what the Sens were willing to package with Joe? I don't remember what all was said at the time of the trade so I truly don't remember. Not to mention, what JR says in the media probably had a spin on it and was aimed at making the new guys fill more welcome.
Who the heck knows!?

If I remember correctly.. JR specifically targeted Patty.. it was said he has had his eye on him since he was drafted.. the Sens didn't want to give up Patty but that was the only way JR would do the deal.. (it was reported) but like you said things change and you just don't know until it's over I guess.
*edit* As for the shoulder he was hurt when we got him wasn't he? But supposedly would be ready to play in a few games at 100% and of course we all know that didn't happen.. as for the physical I don't know how we could have given one as fast as that trade happened..

To me, Patty won't get the densemen needed due to his injury.
Yeah, he will get someone, but to get a big name, you need to trade a big name. Unless some salary is freed up with Hedican and Wesley and they can go after someone during free agency. Cole and/or Williams would be the two I could see be used for potential trade bait.
I firmly believe Vasicek was only re-signed to be used as trade bait.

I agree with your trade bait ideas ghoulie.. of course Cole's name comes up over and over every year at this time.. LOL.. but we are going to have to deal SOMEONE big name if JR is going to do what he says he is going to do for the team this off season. Speaking of Vasicek.. I saw a link somewhere this morning that said the Canes were talking to BABCHUK!! Linky.. www.russianprospects.com/public/profile.php?player_id=26 |

OMG!! He looks like he could so front a boy band in that picture!
Honestly, after his temper tantrum, I wouldn't want him back. Not sure if it was his agent telling him, or how he felt, but we don't need that. I did the one "Why?" when we brought back Vasicek (still trying to figure that one out!) ;D

Ah, see, I thought he targeted Corvo. I do remember reading something about him keeping an eye on Patty since he was drafted though. For some reason I just thought Corvo was the key part of the trade. The trade might have happened quickly for us, but I would bet TPTB had been working on it for a while. I just can't imagine, given the injury, that the Canes doctors didn't at least get a look at his charts. Oh wells...all we can do is sit and watch. They'd beter not trade Justin! Grrr |

So this kind of went under the radar but Patty has been signed for a year by the RED WINGS! Wow.. I didn't see that coming. I'm glad he landed somewhere though.
Quote:
The Detroit Red Wings signed free agent forward Patrick Eaves to a one-year contract on Tuesday, financial details were not disclosed.
Over his 74 games with the Carolina Hurricanes in 2008/09, the 25-year-old scored six goals with eight assists and a plus-7 rating. Eaves has played in 242 career NHL games and has score 45 goals and added 45 assists.
He was originally selected in the first round (29th overall) by the Ottawa Senators in the 2003 Entry Draft.

I knew someone would take a chance on Patty and am happy he landed with a good team, as much as I hate them. And looking back at this thread I would like to correct myself... Then again, Corvo alone isn't worth giving up both Commie and Stillman. Uh, yeah he is you dimwit! |
