Here's my breakdown:

I get the best player in the deal with Iggy. I also add two offensive dmen which I was looking to do. However, overall my D takes a hit as I move a 78/77/83 for a 79/78/73. I think Blake/Vish for Ohlund/McCabe is even but I lose on the Rathje/Slegr exchange big time.

Marchant/Maltby is pretty even though Marchant is a pending UFA so give the edge to Dave on that one.

The depth by getting some of those other chumps helps me a bit as I didn't have much in that regards in the event of injuries.

Bottom line - the deal was aimed at dramtically changing the chemistry for both the Wild and Panthers - two teams that have had long-term (25+ games) of around .500 hockey.

What people would be surprised at is how easy it came together. The "first part" (involving Iginla and Richards) was out there for a few days. The rest of it came together in about 20 minutes.

Fun stuff!
