33-44-5 (last in Div)

We lost most of our games headed into the trade deadline, so I did some minor re-tooling to get a couple youngsters.

Out: Andersen, Tatar, Zajac, Pateryn, Barber, Bertschy, Graovac, and Demelo
IN: Rangers 2nd rd, Mike Smike, Raanta, and prospect Keller
RE-SIGNED: Kovalchuk (1 year, 7 mil) and Thornton (1 year, 3.8 mil)

The trade doomed us as we went on a huge losing streak.
