Let's get this game started shall we.
THE FIRST TRADE TO KICK OFF THE REBUILD
To
Phil Kessel (50%) cap retain), Dion Phaneuf (40% cap retain) and Peter Holland RFA rights
To
Teuvu Teräväinen, Nick Leddy, Johnny Oduya, Phillip Danault, Jeremy Morin, 1st round pick 2014, and a 2nd 2015
We would like to thank Kessel and Phaneuf for their time here. Phaneuf was just not captain material and didn't bring his top notch play. But it still is tough to lose him and we thank him for his time here.
We would like to thank Phil for his time here as well. He was an integral part of our team for a couple of years but we want to have a change of direction. We wish him the best with the Blackhawks.
And for Peter Holland--it was nice knowing you.
We would like to welcome Leddy and Oduya to our defense. They are two great d-men who we will gladly take.
But the best part of this deal is the improvement in the prospect department for us. TT, Danault, and Morin will hopefully become a big part of our core. As of now, Morin seems to be the most NHL ready.
I would like to thank donghabs98 for approaching me and getting this deal done smoothly.
