Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5372002, member: 1969"] Many people don't even have Winnipeg in their top five contenders (many on TSN did not), and they are not there on betting sites either... I think they are around 8th in odds from what I recently saw. I think sometimes people overrate the impact of adding a quality player on trade deadline (or impact of not adding one) Obviously its better to get one than not, but the difference I think is typically overstated. People will throw a team that made a deal immediately into favourite status, and move a team way down / downgrade them if they didn't make one. Nelson would have been nice, but sometimes players can disrupt the feel of a team that is running well at the deadline. And Winnipeg is running really well right now. Adding a 3rd liner, and 3rd pair D with grit was fine for them. [/QUOTE]
