Yep - it wasn't easy to part with all of those primo assets, but new Oilers GM Orr was having no less of a return. I think I had to overpay to get the return I desired, but hopefully pans out. I mean when did you ever see me trade a Top 10 pick, let alone 2 in the same deal along with one of the top prospects in the game. (Did I do that?!?)

This is going to be an interesting year, some really tough competition. I was suprised too seeing Chris trade 2 top 10 picks knowing how much he loves to draft but getting Foresburg out of the deal makes it well worth it. Solid trade for both teams!

Nervous as hell making that deal. Looked at my team and didn't see an immediate future. I could have limped along and tried to push for a playoff spot but it didn't look promising. Chris was a pleasure to deal with and we had a lot of back and forth. Now just don't draft Daigle and I'll be ok

i liked that one for both teams... Edmonton got 3 bluechips, while Calgary got a young franchise player. Ekholm IMO is an under rated part of that deal. He is a really good second pairing defensemen that I think has some untapped potential.

I think Bogosian still could be a beast in Buffalo with all the young talent, but like Ekholm a lot. The contracts of Ekholm and Cizikas helped make overpaying for Forsberg more palatable. *** And how 'bout another blockbuster - JT doesn't get a chance to buy a place in Pittsburgh before he lands in Mile High City! Super nice return for rookie Pens GM Mike hauling in MacK and some good pieces with. Well played by both GMs.

Well played by both GMs. It was sad, but Jon came to me and it was hard to turn down the offer to get MacKinnon and a few pieces to help the future. I think I am finally done making trades...maybe

Guys let's try not to hijack team threads, Jake won't be able to delete them himself and it's extra work for Jon to go and do it. Share your opinions in the opinions thread where they belong.

I don't think its a big deal. If he wants them deleted they can be easily removed, its not like its a big deal to delete a post, lol. Jake asked a question, seemed okay to answer it

I won't miss Wheeler and his 4 ES points this season playing on the top line! I'm sure now he will catch fire on the Caps because the sim hates me.
