Short term, this will probably improve this team, but longterm it's a pretty giant question mark. I don't even mind moving Phaneuf out, but I was really hoping there would be one high-end prospect in here for the future. There are two UFA's here involved here, which while it gives you flexibility in the summer, seems like a poor way of dealing away your talent.
Boy, talk about selling when things are bad. If this was the plan, I rather would've waited till the trade deadline where there is some built up pressure for other teams to go big.
