TRADE DEAD LINE REWIND
5 YEARS LOS ANGELES KINGS ACQUIRE Jeff Carter LEADING INTO THE stretch where the Kings reached three straight conference finals and won two Stanley Cups, GM Dean Lombardi made several key deals in the hopes of putting his team over the top. It started with the acquisition of Dustin Penner in 2011 and was followed months later by the summer blockbuster trade for Mike Richards, but the icing on the Cup-contention cake was the swap that brought Jeff Carter to the Kings at the 2012 deadline. Carter was only months removed from being sent from the Flyers to the Blue Jackets in a move that shook the hockey world, but rumors of his unhappiness in Columbus followed the trade and continued into the season. All parties denied a reported trade request, but Carter was…

IMMORTALIZED IN INFAMY > CAPITALS TRADE FILIP FORSBERG TO PREDATORS FOR MARTIN ERAT AND MICHAEL LATTA April 3, 2013 Most of the famously lopsided deadline deals look bad only in hindsight. This one was slammed the second it happened. Caps fans whimper at the mere mention of Forsberg’s name today.

STRONG AS EVER
FORGET FLORIDA. MANY First Nation kids in Ontario have their March Break marked for something else: the Little Native Hockey League tournament. It’s a week-long event that was created in 1971 to give First Nation youth a tournament to play in. The first tourney featured 17 teams and 200 players. “Native kids didn’t play on organized teams (before the 1970s), so they never got to go to any tournaments,” said Marvin Assinewai, the LNHL’s former president.
