Reader poll of the week

Published 9:43 am Monday, January 5, 2009

The WHL trade deadline arrives this week, with the deadline unusually taking place on a Saturday (1 p.m.). Meanwhile, Everett finds itself hovering around .500, having already made a deal to upgrade its goaltending. That deal can be interpreted as a move either for this season or for the future, so the Tips’ position on where they stand on this year’s trade deadline remains unclear — although general manager Doug Soetaert has said repeatedly the team is committed to winning every year.

So what I want to know this week is what do you think the Tips should do at the trade deadline? Should they sell out and try to assemble a contending team this season, or should they sell off and try to load up for the future? If you have any more specific ideas feel free to share them in the comments section:
