A healthy Bertuzzi and a Calder scoring could be significant. thinking on it a tad, the Red Wings moves could pay off big time. A healthy Bertuzzi and a Calder scoring could be significant.

I'd have to say Pittsburgh. If Laracque provides the kind of protection for Crosby that everyone is expecting, and if Roberts provides the kind of leadership he is expected to provide, the Pens are arguably in the "biggest impact" category. But SJ and the Isles are in that category, too. Tough call! I’d have to say Pittsburgh.

If Forsberg stays healthy (stop that laughing!) they added the best player that changed teams this season. I know Smyth's got his backers, but honestly, can he really change a game the way Forsberg can? Although if Guerin can get Thornton really going again... Nashville.

(sarcasm) Either way, I'd have to say its the Isles. While I think the Sharks added some good pieces, the Isles got the best player available (Forsberg's close when healthy) for 2 guys who do have upside. Now if they can resign him, that's a coup and a half.

That doesn't necessarily make them favorites over Detroit or Nashville in the West, but it seems the players they added bring the greatest net increase in talent of any team's acquisitions.

"With the last couple of years in Washington, you don't get to experience the playoffs or a real hockey atmosphere. This is a very good change for me. I'm very excited." Enough said---silly caps fans. “It definitely gives you a little boost,” Zubrus said. “With the last couple of years in Washington, you don’t get to experience the playoffs or a real hockey atmosphere.
