And I'm not even going to talk about Huet.

I got through today without crying, except after the intial news.

And now that I'm home, and thinking about it, fuck, there are the tears again.

It's not the same team anymore.

I don't care about Foote, I really don't, other than to wonder who'll get the C.

But fuck. Sergei. No. Just no. I knew he was going to be gone by the end of this season. But I didn't expect this.

It's not the team I fell in love with anymore. And it's so much worse than it was with the Oilers last season. At least for me.

I just want my Sergei back. I want Shelley back. I just want my team back.

Trades!

So. Jody Shelley has been sent to San Jose for a 6th rounder in 2009 (did they send us the bag of pucks too?).

And then today, Glencross to the Oilers, for Dick Tarnstrom. I personally don't understand this one very much. Unless this is just because of Howson knowing something about Tarnstrom that we don't, given that he was with the Oilers...I still don't understand why Glencross.

That said, at least it wasn't to the Ducks or Nashville.

The trade bug has finally bitten us.

Anson Carter to the Hurricanes for a 2008 fifth round draft pick.

I'm curiously...uncaring about finding out about this trade. My only thing is: why couldn't it have been a pick for this year?
