Growing up, my friends and I would often propose various trades in the sports we liked. I guess in some ways I haven't grown up much because we did that here on SN for the NFL, NBA and now NHL trade deadline. As kids, when we weren't fond of a player we would say something to the effect of "I would trade him for a bucket of pucks (or balls if you are talking baseball, football or basketball)". Or occasionally you would name another throw away player and add "and a bucket of pucks".

Today, is the NHL trade deadline, which is a day I used to love when I was much more infatuated with the sport of hockey. There is usually a flurry of activity and some big name players on the move. While so far no one has been traded for a bucket of pucks we have had one winner in our NHL trade deadline contest as @BlokchainB inferred correctly that Casey Mittlestadt would be traded, so 500 sats were zapped to Blok.

Let's all just hope that the Leafs don't get any players that would impair their team chemistry which is that of perennial losers. I would hate to have one of my great joys- Maple Leafs playoff collapses, put in jeopardy with the acquisition of a proven winner.

If you haven't joined our UFC pick 'em for UFC 299 tomorrow night, you can do so here #454735. It should be a solid card.

Sats for all,
