I'm at the trade deadline, and my Devils need another scorer. Langenbrunner has been out almost all season with a torn ACL. In desperation, I brought Dave Andreychuk back for some leadership. He promptly strains his rotator cuff and is out until the playoffs. I've been going back and forth with Buffalo over Maxim Afinogenov, and every time I think we're close to a deal, they demand Jeff Friesen. I'm offering the rights to my second-best defenseman prospect, a third-round pick in the upcoming draft, a second-round pick in the following draft, and Jay Pandolfo, but they won't go for it. I've tried offering the rights to two of my prospects along with the picks, but they don't like that either. It seems like it's Friesen or nothing, and I ain't giving up Jeff Friesen. I'm going to keep working at it, though.
