I was going to post this big "in GM style" post about this trade but I am not sure I did well here. I think it might be heavily debated here. I think I may have made a real bonehead move here!

To New Jersey:

G Josh Harding
RW Brian Willsie

To Anaheim:

G Jose Theodore
RW Corey Perry
$4 million in cap space

Here's my justification, Perry and Stastny were both on the last year of a contract and were going to get big raises; Theodore is not really showing any solid signs of turning things around, so his contract is going to be even worse than it was. I needed the flexibility here and I think it is reasonable to assume that Harding and Theo will be rated the same next season. I don't know guys, seriously. I think I may have gotten bent over here. We'll see! Harding can be a starting goalie, however.

If Ed Belfour retires, we are in for another long season ...
