2011 1st(nyr)
Heres my thoughts on this: I needed to get rid of Huet, the leafs showed interest... I got some good assets for him (PM Bouchard, Afinigenov, Harding)
He was making 9 mill a season and was only a 69OVR, he is currently playing like total crap for the hawks so I had to jump on any interest I got since I had been shopping him since I became GM of the Avs.
Now I get a hot goaltender in Anderson who seems to fit really well with the Avs. He has always had REALLY good numbers in his career but was never given the starting job - now he has it and seems to be taking full advantage of it.
I ABSOLUTELY hated the fact that I had to give up Boyes and a 1st to get him but Campbell eases the pain a little. A young 3rd liner who seems to be a good PK type.
Flame away - the rebuilding continutes!
