Life is nothing without a little chaos to make it interesting.

That is a quote by author Amelia Atwater Roads and it's the perfect way to describe everything that we have and will witness

The first deal that kind of kicked everything off this weekend, I was trying to enjoy a wonderful

weekend at the cottage, not mine, don't worry, not mine, and get this note while we're on the golf course that, hey, Ryan,

Johanson has just been traded to the Colorado Avalanche.

Then it became, oh, hey, there's a blockbuster coming between the St. Louis

Blues and the Philadelphia Flyers, which were there's a blockbuster coming between the St Louis Blues

and the Philadelphia Flyers,

which we're still waiting to be consummated by the way.

This trade feels like a cricket match.

away a second round pick and they acquire Sean Jersey which I love that deal for both

teams by the way and then it made me think oh there's got to be something down

the pipeline coming here for the Kings right and we'll get to we'll get to

Pierre Luke Dubois in just a minute.

Then like I mentioned, the blockbuster between the Flyers and Blues, which we're still

waiting on involving Kevin Hayes and potentially Torrey Krug, which hit a snag.

Then there's another flyer trade that we think involving Tony De Angelo
