from E.J. Hradek at ESPN,
With each trade deadline (did you know there was just one trade deadline deal involving one player in 1983?), we learn something about the league and its clubs. Here are eight things I took out of Tuesday’s swap meet:
8. Brian Burke is stubborn
The Ducks GM is stubborn. Sometimes, that’s a good thing. Burke was a player in a couple of separate trade negotiations, but he refused to trade any of his young studs (Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry or prospect Bobby Ryan) for a short-term fix. But the Ducks’ road to the Cup finals got a lot tougher after the Predators, Red Wings, Stars, Sharks and Flames made significant acquisitions.
