Actually, that is not the reason we made the deal. It was more of a lateral between two pending UFAs that are rated the same and have the same salary (between two teams a few points apart).

To Pittsburgh:

Shane Doan
Morgan Ellis (MTL 4th rounder)

To Washington

Marian Hossa

Doan has played solid for us at times and this is actually a downgrade in terms of CPHL production, however Hossa is outperforming in the NHL and it gives us more offseason options.
