So, Ribs has a good starting run with Dallas, 5 points in 4 games, Good for him.

Look at Zednick...0 points in 4 games and -4 on plus/minus, and Bulis has 1 point in 5 games, and he's -2. And look at their replacements, Sammy and Johnson, combined for 3 points and 0+/- in 4 games ... So I would say Bob Gainey knows what he was doing with making these personnel changes.

It is wayyyyy too early to pass judgement on who got the best or worst of a trade. Sometimes it takes a full season before the dust settles. At this stage, Johnson and Zednick in my book are a wash. They both bring the same thing to the table. The only problem I have with trading Ribs was the fact that he is a center. Time will tell whether he has cleaned up his act.

All the player changes seem like washes to me so far. But there does seem to be an improvement in chemistry. The shakeup was probably necessary, but it sure wasn't a huge change, I agree.

Like Barry said, let's re-evaluate these deals at years end. Not seasons end but years end. Let's see how all these guys do in the playoffs.
