Well it happened. Adam Larsson has been dealt. I actually was starting to reconsider putting him on the block because the more I read about him, the more I think he's the real deal and may turn out to be the best Defenseman in the NHL someday. Enter NJ.

I just had to do it.

To St.L:
Brent Seabrook D, 27y 75ov, $8.50/1y
S. Kostitsyn RW/LW, 25y 64ov, $2.00/1y
Cash

To NJ:
Adam Larsson D, 19y Super Prospect
Dan Boyle D, 35y 73ov, $9.99/3y
2nd Round Pick

The Blues are pumped to add a young Defenseman of Seabrook's calibre, and also believe Kostitsyn can become a 60 Pt player soon. Ridding ourselves of the declining Boyle's contract was also a major bonus. This trade also adds an extra top 9 forward to the mix while only adding 1/2 a Mil in cap.

It was a deal that worked on too many levels to pass up and I think NJ feels the same. Still tough to see Larsson go though.

Thanks to Chris for the talks, there actually wasn't a lot of replies needed considering the names moving.
