Completed Transactions:
To Pittsburgh: Henrik Sedin + 5.5mill
To Philly:
- Kulyemin, Nikolai (RW) NHL
- De Haan, Calvin (D) ECHL
- 2011 1st Round Draft Choice (phi)
- 2012 2nd Round Draft Choice (phi)
- 2012 2nd Round Draft Choice (pit)
Reasoning: Our ECHL is crowded with top end talent so I feel that the chance to add arguably the best center in the NHL over the past 2 seasons was worth sacrificing some solid picks and a big time prospect.
To Pittsburgh: Niklas Grossman
To Columbus: Tuomo Ruutu
Reasoning: We add a surplus of top 6 forwards and a lack of solid . This was simply a positional swap.
To Pittsburgh:
Alain Berger
To Florida:
Roster spot
Reasoning: Berger is a longterm project but his big frame is something the NHL Habs could use so we felt he was worth a gamble on.
Released:
Roman Hamrlik
Marek Scwartz
Reasoning: Neither guy is in our plans for next year so we figured we should let them both hit free agency.
Current trade block:
Tomas Plekanec - looking for high end youth and picks. Would consider guys who are CPHL roster guys as well.
Zdeno Chara - would move him for a star young dman or a good young dmen + pick(s) or prospect(s).
As usual no player is ever "Untouchable" but I will focus on finding a home for these 2 guys first. PM any offers or catch me on msn.
