At first glance I thought this was a huge win for the Blues but the more I look at it the more sense it makes for me from the isles POV. Drury is absolutely horrid in the NHL this year and hsi contract may be a hard one to take in the later years of the deal and Cole has been on a downward spiral for a few years now and is actually not much different then Kotalik. Blues do great by adding great help this year but the isles do ok by adding the best piece long term.
