Wow another huge trade involving the Panthers. Great deal for both teams IMO. You just never know, man oh man I drafted Letang in the 4th Rd 104th pick our 05-06 draft, look at the loot for him.

Brookbank is certainly worth more than the last pick in the draft You are probably right, it's a salary dump for me so i can bid on unassigned some to fill my roster. I had him on the block because he became expendable and that was the best offer I got.

If signing him makes you want to trade him right away to clear salary, maybe you should not have signed him in the first place?? lol

Holy defense, the Preds have the strongest blue line in the league for sure this year.

Going to be a powerful team to contend with and with picks he has can go out and pick up a few more pieces to be team to pick to win it all!

Going to be a few teams that are going to really benefit down the road from those trades.

Really? One of the best rated players in the league, with a super cheap contract...for young player with 1 average season and a late first? I wish people would trade ME stuff like that.

Let's be honest here. Look at some of the trades made so far, this certainly wouldn't be at the top of "lopsided" deals. If there is no season this year will Alfredsson even be around for the next one? Look at how many players retired "early" last time there was a lockout.

I gotta agree with Adam, Alffie 39yrs., I thought it was a decent return for the Ducks, given all the circumstances.

Colin White for a 4th Brookbank for a 5th Methot for a 5th Condra for a 5th Jimmy Howard for what??

Howard isn't that great, hes a good goalie, and it was a clear Boston salary cut so he could sign more important players. None of those should even be mentioned, in the same breathe, lol. I don't wanna start a big fight over it or anything, but come on...if I had Alfie and someone offered me a a very late 1st round pick and a rookie 6th round pick, thats projected to be a good 3rd liner, I'd laugh and likely not even respond.
