TRADECENTRE
Semi-Retired GM T_Cage has once again joined the panel to take a look at the pre-draft trading frenzy and give his thoughts. Does anyone care? Not really...but you'd be surprised how little that deters me.
To FLA: #6, Nick Foligno, Patrick Weiroch
To OTT: #3
I dunno if I like this move. Ottawa obviously has ' a guy' they are gunning more. If they guess right, they win this trade...but it's an awful lot to give up if they swing and miss
To NSH: Tyler Seguin
To BOS: Ryan Suter
Wow.....Proven vs potential, but I love this trade, one of the better ones i've seen. I really like that it fills a need for NSH up front
To TOR: Dadynov + 4th
To FLA: Bozak
Value favours Toronto, but only b/c Bozak's stock had fallen. Selling low isn't a great strategy, so this may come back to bite them
To PHX: Clayton Stoner + 5th
To MIN: Taylor Pyatt
Not a Pyatt fan. He's a replaceable player, and the 5th is a crapshoot. Stoner is a solid prospect though, so i give this to PHX
To PHX: Eric Nystrom
To MIN: Michael Stone + 4th
Good move for PHX, grabbing a quality Bottom 6er for 2 small assets. They definately get value here
To SJ: Brent Burns
To MIN: 1st, 2nd, McGinn, Petrecki, Ferrerio
Really not a fan of this for the Wild. The value isn't too bad, but I'd rather have 1 great piece than 5 decent ones. Stars are hard to come by, secondary pieces are plentiful
