Now that the deadline has passed and all the dust has settled we can sit back and look at the deals we made leading up and how it all worked out. When all was said and done we were very happy how our trade haul turned out..... Out The Door:Johan Franzen - Gone in 3 after this season Alex Burrows - Gone in 4 Alex Tanguay - Gone in 3 Ryan Malone - Gone in 3 Dennis Wideman - RFA Anton Babchuk - RFA Greg Zanon - Gone in 2 Karlis Skrastins - UFA Dwayne Roloson - Gone in 1 2011 2nd Rd. Pick (Chi) In The System:F - Kris Versteeg F - Andrew Cogliano G - Chet Pickard G - Cedrick Desjardins F - Curtis Hamilton F - Cody Hodgson F - John McFarland F - Greg McKegg F - Michael Chaput F - Brooks Macek D - Nick Leddy D - Taylor Doherty 2011 2nd Rd. Pick (Phi) 2011 2nd Rd. Pick (Tor) 2012 1st Rd. Pick (Chi) 2012 2nd Rd. Pick (Van) 2012 5th Rd. Pick (Fla) 2013 1st Rd. Pick (Phi) With the exception of RFAs Babchuk and Wideman, all the other players would be gone within the next 3 years (Burrows in 4). I think we got some solid young players, some extremely nice prospects and a lot of quality picks stocked up. Very happy with the results! With the core of players we decided to keep (Perry, Krejci, Edler etc...) I really feel we made the right choices in solidifying the future of the team for years to come! Overall assessment I think I'd give myself a solid B, maybe a B+

Certainly an impressive core.
I really like Leddy, he had a rather weak start but looks like a promising young defenseman.
I do however think Versteeg is a bit overrated. He's got a good shot, but he sometimes tries to do too much fancy stuff and ends up putting himself in a bad position.

Looks like you got a lot, without giving up any real special/core players. The best thing about it is that your team will still be a top team in the conference with guys like Perry, Spezza, Koivu, Edler etc.
I think you got a fantastic deal for Burrows haha. I don't think he would land half of what I gave up for him in the NHL. It sucked giving up Doherty.

We've definitely got strong depth down the middle with Spezza, M. Koivu, Pavelski and Krejci. During the offseason we'll probably try and move one of them for another goal scoring winger to go with Perry and Clowe, someone like a Benn, Neal or Ryan type player. Most likely we'll move Krejci, who's been on a tear the last month and currently stands T-7th with 48 assists, with 7 games less played than Zetterberg who sits in 4th with 53.
Edler and Goligoski are great building blocks for the back end and hopefully the progression and development of Leddy and Doherty continue nicely.
We'll definitely be a competetive team, but I don't think we'll be where we want to be for a couple of seasons, until it all comes together...we hope lol!

Perry looks like a surprise Richard candidate/favorite right now too. Pretty crazy.
Damn Stamkos used to be running away with it. I bet he has like 5-10 points in his last 20 games. He's been really cold.
