Well with all the cap space we are going to have for next season, we figured it would benefit us to add a UFA or two at a cheap price and just resign them. We found this type of player in a deal with the Panthers that breaks down as such:

To the Ducks:
Cory Stillman
cash

To the Panthers:
CHI 1st 08
WAS 2nd 08
Tim Brent

All in all, we sent a few young pieces for a significant upgrade up front for this club. Stillman is doing well in the NHL (42 points in 47 games) and should be resigned this coming offseason and contribute offensively next year. We do not like losing 1sts but with the depth of our prospect pool we did not feel the need to keep all these pieces.

Thanks to the panthers GM, these were fun negotiations.
