First, Laura's thoughts on the Blues: 1. Which player, for the love of God, do you NOT want to see in your team's sweater in the 09-10 season?
Danny. Freaking. Heatley. I'm sick and tired of seeing the Blues mentioned in trade rumors for him... and I really don't care for the fact that Perron is constantly included in these rumors. We don't need to break up the young core of the team, and Heatley, while good, is a pure goal scorer with no real oomph for playmaking (he floats a lot) and he's not great defensively. Heater's already been on one of my teams, he doesn't need to be on the other one.
2. Conversely, pick a potential move by another team that would just crush your soul/favorite team's chances.
Wait... hm... Detroit signing Hossa would make them a tougher team, but considering that Roman Polak almost broke him, I'm not concerned about his impact on the Blues. The Central's pretty stacked as it is - even Nashville and Columbus put up a fight every year. It doesn't boil down to what they get, it comes down to what the Blues do. Their success or failure is in their hands.
And then, her thoughts on the Atlanta Thrashers:
1. Which player, for the love of God, do you NOT want to see in your team's sweater in the 09-10 season?
Any former NY Ranger that their fans always want to try to dump on us, either in a Kovy trade or just in general. NYC uses Jersey to dump their trash. They need to stick with that.
A lot of people are paranoid that Dapper Don will pick up Chelios. I think that comes from last year and us picking up Schneider from the Ducks last year. We're moving towards youth, and there's not a market for chili in Atlanta. We should be safe.
Another rumor that went around after someone saw Waddell at a Wild game was the acquisition of Gaborik. If he's healthy all season and doesn't act like Madonna when she's told she can't adopt that little African baby that she wanted, then he's golden. But my money is on a failed trip to Africa and a trip to the ER. Please, don't.

Tampa Bay to getting decent ownership who don't need couples therapy and to find at least 7 defensemen to stick with the entire year would be horrible for the whole Southeast Division. I mean, that's at least 4 sure fire intra-conference wins a season gone with the wind. *poof*
