Steve and I started looking at this deal back when Arnott was a pending UFA - and either he gets Sundin + Kulemin or Kulemin+1st. Not a horrible deal for him. It gives him a guy that will be a top 6 forward in the NHL.
I like the deal for myself obviously but for a 34 year old just signed to a grid deal I would not have given up more than I did. An elite prospect simply was not an option.
