B+ I love the Nash trade, like the Holden move and think Wingells brings some nice and needed grit to the team. I would have liked a top 4 D, even seeing the price of McDonaugh I would have made the move but realize the cap money wasn't there. Only true fail is not getting a third line center, I think counting on Nash is going to bite them before the playoffs are over. Obviously would have liked some toughness as well.
Overall I think Sweeney did well, Nash for a decent prospect, a first in a good draft and Spooner is very good, it doesn't hurt the team today or for the foreseeable future. Getting out from under Beleskey's deal, possibly even more of it than original thought if NYR buy him out, was very well done. Holden is a great insurance policy/upgrade over matt grzelcyk again for a player who was far down the depth chart in O'Gara and a pick which they improved upon by unloading Vatrano and Wingells is a nice sneaky quiet pick up who is an improvement over Acciari. Gionta may play a game or two but with Wingells here he moves farther down the depth chart. Maroon would have been a nice addition of the players moved yesterday.
