It is exciting when deals like this are made, no question about it. I think that the Pens got a lot better here. I really think that other than the goaltending portion they come out ahead on each portion.
Luongo wasn't working out as Goffie had hoped, so if Lehtonen comes out and performs like a young star then this is a great trade for the Penguins.
This isn't to take away from what the Ducks picked up in this deal though. If Luongo starts to produce as he should given his rating then he is worth the sacrifice in my opinion!
