Bonk & Zanon would both be solid additions to the club, for the playoffs and beyond! Hope it happens.
NHL trade deadline deals that make sense - Allan Muir - SI.com
Nashville sends Radek Bonk and Greg Zanon to Washington for Oskar Osala and Sami Lepisto
The young Caps may still be a year or two away from the silverware, but they've played well enough to earn deadline reinforcements from George McPhee. Goaltending may be the most glaring need, but this deal addresses two other problem areas: lack of depth down the middle and the need for a physical presence on the blueline. Bonk is operating at 62 percent on the draw -- tops in the league -- and Zanon is a warrior who'll sacrifice his body to make a play. Both are UFA's this summer, so they won't impact next year's books. The Preds get a promising young forward in Osala -- currently third among AHL rookies with 19 goals -- and a small but talented puck-moving blueliner in Lepisto. |
How can you not want a hockey player with a last name like Bonk??
