Well, I almost got my wish. The other day I suggested that Penguins GM Ron Hextall acquire a forward from Nashville and he did. Just not the one I’d remotely hoped for.
With his trade options shrinking by the minute, GMRH swung two deals Wednesday night.
How I wish he hadn’t. Handed a gift reprieve when the Blues miraculously claimed Kasperi Kapanen and his $3.2 cap hit, Hextall turned around and flushed our good fortune down the loo.
Forgive me if what follows is a bit disjointed. I’m still trying to wrap my brain around it.
