In what was a pretty easy deal, the Blues and Wings hooked up in a 4 player deal. Going to Detroit are Scott Gomez and Jordan Leopold. Coming back to the Blues are Alex Frolov and Andy Ference.

Pretty straight forward deal. I wanted to move Jokinen back to center and to do that I needed to move Gomez. Frolov is younger and better offensively and defensivly. Sure he's out of favor in L.A, but we have confidence that he'll stay in the NHL and be moved out to a different team. The Ference/Leopold deal was basically swapping an offensive minded D for a defensive minded D. FAndy will replace Leo on the 3rd pairing.
