To Dallas

Vladislav Namestnikov

To Blues

Brooks Orpik
54th overall, 2012 pick
$2mm

We wanted a top shutdown guy to play with Boyle, and needed a 2nd rounder to fulfill a commitment. Paying $5.5mm for Orpik next year is solid value...but I think Dallas value-wise wins this deal.

To Sharks

Fienhage
Wellman
2 4th Rounder

To Blues

Martin Havlat

The band-aid is on a UFA contract, so moving a decent prospect in Wellman and some picks is fair value. Just need to decide if I am going to sign him or not. I am hoping his re-rate is terrible so I can sign him at a good grid-rate and somehow doesn't get injured next year.
