The season is now over, before we get to that, however I will go over what led to the end of the season.

The Blackhawks had two representatives in the allstar game, Jonathan Toews and Corey Crawford. A few days after the allstar game, I swung another deal to bring a veteran to the team for the playoff run.

TO PHX
--------
RW, Viktor Stalberg
G, Ty Rimmer

TO CHI
--------
RW, Shane Doan

I figured I could get rid of Stalberg who's contract was up after the end of the year for a year and a half of Doan, who is a better PWF anyway. Rimmer was my 5th round pick in the 2012 draft, who was unsigned.

It was soon after this that injuries started coming up again Brent Seabrook went down for a week along with a couple of days without Hjalmasson. About a week after Seabrook was back, Doan was injured for 3 weeks. Then came the trade deadline:

TO DAL
--------
MTL 2013 2nd
C, Byron Froese

TO CHI
--------
RW, Michael Ryder

Another trade that the computer offered to me that I felt I couldn't pass up. Ryder is relatively young and coming off of a good season. Froese is just a prospect with 2.5 star potential, I felt I have a deep enough system where I wouldn't miss him and the pick was what I got for Monty, so I never even had the pick initially. The deal boils down to Montador and Froses for Ryder, who will be on my third line.

Unable to move anyone else during the deadline (I wanted to move an AHL goalie or two along with Olesz and possibly even Ryder if the right deal came along.) I finished simming the rest of the season (Crawford got injured for 5 weeks in early April, playoffs now look scary), results are as follows.
