Not a great deal for us, but, I don't like players like Nilsson or Shannon and wanted to move them. The Oilers are a mess and I wouldn't be surprised if Quinn ruins Nilsson this year. Shannon is having an alright year on the third line in Ottawa, but he is small and weak. I don't have much patience and needed to shore up my D so made the deal with the Avs. I sent Wyman over to make room on my AHL roster, I probably wasn't going to sign him this summer anyway.
Adams is just depth, don't plan on using him next year. Kopecky is someone I think will have a playable re-rate next year for the 4th line - plus he scored the game winner for the Slovaks about an hour after I dealt for him, which was nice. And Ference, yeah, 4th D at beat, which is what he has being doing in Boston this year but he has a decent salary and a decent rating and I can use him.
