Comments on: A history lesson http://acidqueen.projectremains.com/2008/07/06/a-history-lesson/ Rants about hockey (chiefly the Carolina Hurricanes) from an Adopted Southerner. Occasionally I also talk about cooking.

But, IIRC, the only ones left from his Hartford days were the team statistician, the radio broadcaster, and Adam Burt. More importantly: Google search for "dishonest scuzzwipe" now brings up Eddie Johnston. Footnote: When Ron Francis “returned” to the franchise, he said it was nice to be among familiar faces.

Almost immediately, most people I know saw the deal as "even" at worst, or "slightly tilted toward the Canes" at best. The main reason for this, as I pointed out the day of the trade, is that the Sens were getting two free-agents-to-be, and the Canes were getting Corvo (who was under a multi-year contract) and Eaves (who could be -- and was -- re-signed relatively cheap). Of course we all know that the way the season (and off-season) has played out, Carolina definitely got the better end of that deal. Captain,

Corvo is one of the backbones of our defense & Eaves has every bit of potential to make folks forget Eric Cole ever played here. Stillman is a Panther & Commie is a Blue Jacket now. Guess we didn't get burned after all. Everyone thought we got the raw end of the Commodore/Stillman trade, but look how that turned out!
