To Panthers
Anton Rodin
LA's 2011 3rd

To Sharks
Greg McKegg

I initiated this deal because I wanted to pick up a prospect I actually like. Doesn't hurt that he's a Leafs prospect either. McKegg scored 37 goals and 48 assists in 67 games for Erie in the OHL last year as a 17 year old, and this year he's got 21 goals and 22 assists in 30 games, and was also named Captain of the team.

I think he definitely has top 6 potential and has a great shot at cracking the Leafs lineup in the next couple years.

I know Rodin was a higher pick than McKegg, but I value players who play in the CHL more than guys who don't, and Rodin has only put up 20 points in 65 games in the SEL. He could be a superstar or he could never see a regular season NHL game. I'm fairly sure McKegg will end up a regular on an NHL roster, even if it isn't the Leafs.

And nobody can tell me Greg McKegg isn't a great hockey name. It's right up there with Zarley Zalapski IMO.
