Trades:  Kevin Hayes | Matt Hendricks | Nathan Beaulieu | Bogdan Kiselevich | Par Lindholm| Alex Broadhurst |

Trade deadline Topics:  The acquisition of Kevin Hayes.  On trading their 1st round pick.  The flurry of moves.  Status of Josh Morrissey.  On the Jets attempts to land Mark Stone.  Was it important to keep the young talent in the system that they had drafted?  Why did he act early to get Kevin Hayes?  How does he see the race in the Western Conference going forward after the moves made today?  Do GMs ever make a trade based on what another team has done?  Was the price for Stone higher when the Jets were involved?  Why add Matt Hendricks?  Will Morrissey play tomorrow?  Will Kevin Hayes play tomorrow?  Where does he see Kevin Hayes fitting into the lineup?  Where does he see Kevin Hayes long term?  How valuable is a 1st round pick?  On the grind.  On making the most moves today, what does that say to the fans?  Did the recent poor results of the team impact his decision making today?  On the trade of Nic Petan for Par Lindholm.  What did he most appreciate about Matt Hendricks role during the playoff run?  How does he feel about his work today in general?  On trading Brendan Lemieux.
