New GM Newfinator made three trades at the draft. The third was a swap of 5 picks (3rd x 2, 4th, 5th, 6th) to the Devils for 4 picks (3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th). The 62nd pick overall being the best asset moved.

We wanted to make sure we got the player we were looking at, and we felt it was a fair price to move up. The [Paul] Martin acquisition was made because of the departure of [Kevin] Klein earlier. We gave up a good prospect, but we are in the mindset of winning now.
Big D-man Sean Day goes first overall, as expected, to the Dallas Stars.
