The Blues have kept their core of Berglund, Oshie, and Johnson. The Blues move a ton of prospects, but, how many are sure fire players in this deal? Two? Sonne has blown things up in the WHL. But scoring there doesn't mean scoring here. Eller has the potential to be a second line forward. Pietrangleo is looking like he could play a solid two way game. But he's the odd man out with Polak, Johnson, Junland, and Cole. I feel all of those players could be and are ahead of Pietrangelo now and for the future. Pietrangelo is lacking the phsyicality to play in this league. Kariya is a salary dump. Nothing more. Perron was a must to move Vinny and the picks are never sure things. The Blues got what they wanted, a superstar. And you MUST overpay for a superstar, but I feel half of the players I dealt will not develop.
Exactly. Vinny Lecavalier is Vinny Lecavalier. A proven top 5 superstar who will get 80 or 90 points a year. Picks and prospects are only picks and prospects; unproven talent. Both teams are happy with the deal and that's what matters.
agreed. it's definitely overpayment but i think the trade should be allowed, both GM's have agreed on it and seem to be happy with it.
Still looking to deal, lots of offers coming for Tom Gilbert, Dustin Penner is still being shopped too as is Erik Cole. Prospects not named Eberle are available and all picks.
Gomez, Redden, and Drury are all available!

I bet they are. Huge salaries locked up long term with ntc's

REMEMBER YOU CAN VOTE TO VETO TRADES IF YOU FEEL THEY ARE UNFAIR OR UNREALISTIC
Please, please. The official New York Rangers endorsed terminology is "robust deal" that "extends for a healthy time period." And only Drury has a real NTC.
