So WHish I Wasn't Twaded

Here is Sportsline's comments on the trades of Jewish hockey elites Mathieu Schneider and Jeff Halpern. Both of their new teams were considered WINNERS!
Phoenix Coyotes: The Coyotes have been the feel-good story of the season and that didn't change at the deadline, as Phoenix did a good job upgrading its roster for the playoff push. The Coyotes started the day sitting fifth in the West, a remarkable turnaround from last season, and were busier than anyone by adding five veterans to the lineup. The best might be Wojtek Wolski, a young forward who was the second-leading scorer on the Colorado Avalanche but is coming up on restricted free agency. Phoenix got deeper along the blue line with veterans Derek Morris and Mathieu Schneider and added young legs up front in Alexandre Picard and Lee Stempniak.
Los Angeles Kings: If any team had the potential to make a big splash it was the Kings. Los Angeles has the kind of cap space and young talent in its organization that other teams drool over, and the Kings have had such a surprisingly strong season, they seemed primed to do something major. But Los Angeles has some good chemistry to go along with the talent on the roster, and didn't mess with it to acquire veteran forwards Jeff Halpern and Fredrik Modin, players who bring useful skill sets and leadership.
