Hopefully everyone knows that the trade deadline is Tuesday at 13:00 Calgary time. There have been a few trades already, but I'm sure things will heat up in the next couple of days. It seems the common theme so far is "Screw Timmy". Hopefully, with the recent Zubov and Lupul news, Timmy opens up the wallet a little bit. There could be a lot of money in that 3rd place pot.
Anyways, this post is about the 4th line grinders. The guys who you need to get the job done when the job needs to get done. Trade Approvers.
This table on the left identifies the trades from this year and the approvals that have been granted.
There is no doubt about who is logging all the tough minutes here. There are many possible reasons why Broker has become the Season MVP. My theories are:
- Hates his job
- Addicted to the blog
- Gets trade alerts on his blackberry
- Needs to generate goodwill to get his own BS trades approved
Anyways, there are a number of "zeroes" out there in the trade approval department. Prima Dona Kovalchuk's so to speak. I won't mention any names. Why aren't they approving trades?
- love their jobs
- hate the blog
- technology-o-phobic
- don't think the trade is fair and in good faith
- wish that they had been the one to get Parise
- who knows?
By the way ... I have a trade approval pending.
Iffy

Oops .... that took me longer to research and write than it took MILFy to approve my trade. You making a run for vice-MVP?
Anyways, go about your business.
Except for those who's names shall not be mentioned.
Your first 2 points are pretty spot on. What do I win for being the biggest Blog geek?
ok...ok.... sorry guys for not approving any trades this year....and for not participating more..... and for not beating Timmy (aka. Leaker???) this year.....
In defense, he IS my boss - I have to let him win once in awhile!
Now for the excuses...... I've been busy - re-modelling a basement. Next year will be better - I promise!
Now that I see that all the good players have been traded, there's probably no use - but Nash and Sakic are available still - up to 1:00 pm tomorrow.
Reg,
Get out of the basement. It's been nice outside for at least 2 weeks!
