Selanne was pissing me off. Will I retire, won't I retire...make up your mind Teemu! I traded for Gagne assuming he would retire, but it looks like he's sticking around for another season and I needed to shed some salary. There is a clause that if Selanne retires this year the trade is reversed, so it works for both parties.

I have Vanek who can slip into the 2nd line easily, so Kobasew will play on the 3rd line and I get a solid prospect in Joey Hishon and my 1st rounder back (which will hopefully be a late one!)

Thanks for the easy deal SweetDoc.
