Marchant will give us 2 years of an elite defensive forward at a fair price. Helm would give us 10 some years, but not this year and that is what we care about!

I think this is the type of deal GMs will say is fair for the direction of both teams. I needed some CPHL guys who can eat some minutes. Todd has a 79DF and 77FO so he is exactly the type of depth forward we needed.

Since we got half the cap back he really only cost about 1 mill. I know I could have waited until UFA but I don't want to rely on that to fill a few holes on this team.

Thanks for the quick drunk deal Steve!
